Yes and where did you connect the hxc ?

reminder:

If non-twisted floppy "connector" of the cable:
A: -> ID2
B: -> ID1

If twisted floppy "connector" of the cable:
A: -> ID1
B: -> ID2

Connected to the last connector, the one after the twist.
The red wire is on the right near the id jumpers.

If i set ID2, the bios says "Floppy disc failed".

under msdos you can read the floppy disk ?
Or can boot an msdos floppy image?

Another point :the HFE file interface setting is set to "IBM PC 1.44MB" or "IBM PC 720KB" ?

I got no boot disk images, i got only real dos floppy.
Do you know where i can find a boot image?

Don't know because i selected Create FS Floppy, 720Kb msdos, injected the directory, export.

->Menu Settings
->"SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator Settings"
-> Select AUTO
->After Load your hfe file on the main window
->The interface mode of the file is indicated in the "SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator Settings" window.

Don't work, the pc does a little access to the hxc then windows load (but it works with another sd).

Which firmware version can you read on the hxc floppy emulator display ?

Again : Can you measure the 5V PC power supply ?

And give me the exact SDCard brand/model number.

4,97

But the hxc has power even if it's connected with just the floppy cable?

You need the power supply cable to powered the hxc floppy emulator.
the emulator may be powered by the floppy cable, but this is only a side effect.

I can send you the card, if you think this can help you to investigate the problem.
I have an identical card with the same problems so i can help you with tests.
