Can not read SDCard ?

Guys,

I tried to test SD card with SDFat library, SDInfo sketch but always failed,
Can anyone tell me what do I miss here ?

Here's the sketch, I'm using Ethernet Shield W5100 with sd card.
Thanks in advance

Where does it fail? What does the sketch output to the serial monitor (if anything)? How do you know it actually failed?

You need to set D10 (SS) as an output for the SD library to work correctly.

// On the Ethernet Shield, CS is pin 4. It's set as an output by default.
// Note that even if it's not used as the CS pin, the hardware SS pin
// (10 on most Arduino boards, 53 on the Mega) must be left as an output
// or the SD library functions will not work.
pinMode(10, OUTPUT); // change this to 53 on a mega

You need to set D10 (SS) as an output for the SD library to work correctly.

This is not true, SdFat makes SS an output and set it high. You must not confuse SS, Slave Select, and Chip Select which are often different pins.

The requirement is to put the chip select pin for all other SPI devices in output mode and set these pins high.

For a standard Ethernet Shield the W5100 CS pin is pin 10. You must set this pin high if you are not using a 328 Arduino.

To repeat:
