EDIT: Got it to work with the demo provided by SD library. Don't know why it didn't work the first time. I'll post the variation that worked for me, in case someone else runs into the same problem for some reason
/*
SD card read/write
This example shows how to read and write data to and from an SD card file
The circuit:
* SD card attached to SPI bus as follows:
** MOSI - pin 11
** MISO - pin 12
** CLK - pin 13
** CS - pin 4 //////Changed to 2
