Yes it's a OneDrive folder on which all items are set to also be available offline. I store my pictures on the hard drive of my SP2 - i.e. not OneDrive - and am experiencing exactly the same phenomenon there too. I'm not sure what the throughput of my Internet connection is, but it's my home...

Hi jnjroach, About 83Gb free out of some 256. I also have about 13Gb on One Drive which uses the same amount of disk space on the SP2 - so total would be around 70Gb free. I performed a 'disk cleanup' this morning, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Incidentally, I'm getting the...

For a few weeks now I've been experiencing a sort of slow, clunky updating of folders on my SP2 with a rather tiresome green bar going across the top of my 'file manager' screen in Windows (see screenshot). Anybody have any ideas what this is and how to put it right?

Well - it came back! I tried what Zach suggested and created a recovery disk on usb key from my SP1. After many attempts with different combinations start-button-and-volume-down at the same time, start-button-without-volume-down, frantically pressing Fn-F8 in both of those combinations...

The last few day, my Mail App on SP1 has been sticking - now not opening properly at all. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

jnjroach - you're too good! So basically, I should try what Zach suggests or send it back to Microsoft (the majority of my stuff is on Onedrive, although I guess it's also still on the SP2). Can't believe it could have just frozen like that. All I was doing was browsing in the list of apps...

Thanks guys. What is an RMA? What is an ISO? Sorry to be so hopeless...

jnjroach - thanks again. I have tried to do as you advised several times. Unfortunately with no luck, though. The SP2 will not go into recovery. As before, the screen just keeps coming back saying 'Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete'. I have now left it like...

jnjroach - many thanks for your reply. I really fear I may have done something stupid when fiddling around with the different options on the BIOS/UEFI screen which came up. I don't have a recovery drive and I'm not sure I would know how to 'boot into recovery'. I do also have an SP1 (which...

My Surface Pro2 froze totally two days ago. Haven't been able to bring it back to life yet. Keep on getting this BIOS/UEFI screen and have probably tried all the available options on it - not really knowing what they meant. After that, the best I have so far is a screen saying it is 'carrying...

Mine just froze totally two days ago. Haven't been able to bring it back to life yet. Keep on getting this BIOS/UEFI screen and have probably tried all the available options on it - not really knowing what they meant. After that, the best I have so far is a screen saying it is 'carrying out...

Have been enjoying the type cover 2 very much. Finally I could actually do some serious work with my SP.... Today, however, it stopped working. Completely. Have tried everything - rebooting with on/off etc. serveral times - nothing doing. Any ideas?

Happy ending to this story, I'm glad to say... The SDXC card manufacturers EMTEC took note of my problems and have now sent me a new card. It works perfectly. Many thanks to those of you who tried to help and thanks also to EMTEC. I'm really happy it wasn't just a case of me doing something...

For me, it's the way the touchpad on the type-cover doesn't allow gestures for re-sizing what's on the screen the way my laptop does. Oh - and also the immense heat of the thing now we are summertime...

"Windows unable to complete format", I'm afraid. Same in ExFAT as in NTFS. I really thank you for your continued help, Arnold, but I'm now rapidly concluding that this SDXC card is just er, buggered (the correct technical term here, I believe). Good job it wasn't expensive, difficult to get...

It's ExFAT

Yes indeed it is - or should I say, 'Windows Explorer'. Remember, I'm still trying to copy the stuff onto the card from my old (Windows 7) laptop in order to put it onto the Pro. I have tried looking at the card also in the Pro using 'File Manager', but it looks the same as it does on the old...

Guys - many thanks for your replies, although they show how out of my depth I must be (I have no idea what 'symbolic link', 'mounted volume' or 'vhd' are). I'm just trying to copy and paste onto the card as I would with any other SD card or flashdrive. There is no specific error message, but...

Hi - just arrived here today and have a new Surface Pro. Looking forward to getting to know you more seasoned users. Am trying to copy various things from my laptop onto a 64GB SDXC card to put into the Pro. However, whilst it seems to copy documents OK, it refuses to copy music files...

Hi all - just arrived and just bought a 128GB Surface Pro. Having some problems with the SDXC card and will post this on the 'Help' Forum. All the best...
