Hi all,
I just got a new Sandisk 1GB Mini SD for my Wizard. I put it in my phone and it was recognized immediately. I copied a few files across (my TomTom install and a few maps) and then finished the install. I had to soft-reboot to get TomTom to work - but after rebooting my card doesn't work. When the phone starts up it asks if I want to format the card. I tap yes and it goes away - but doesn't really do anything.
I have taken the Mini SD out of my phone and put it into the card reader that's in my laptop. Windows recognizes that it is a SD card and also prompts to format it - but when I try to format it as FAT or FAT32 it says it can't complete. I have tried doing it through DOS too, but it comes back as saying that there is a bad Track 0 and the card is unusable.
I'm struggling to believe that the card is now poked after just copying some files onto it. I'm hoping that it's just something to do with the file system that has dies somehow. Does anyone know how to reformat the card (either through my phone or Win XP) or how can I resurrect this sucker?
Thanks in advance!
try pocket mechanics
thanks rudegear. I tried pocket mechanics, but it doesn't even recognise the card. I believe that pocket mech will only work if my phone can see the card first. this isn't even happening. the phone obviously knows that there is a card in it, as it says that the expansion slot is in use, but it can't read the card at all. any other ideas?
sounds like you have a fake card. 128mb cards formated to show 1gb, you copy more than 128 they corrupt. this happened to me
okay. I've given up on this card and have sent it back. no more trying to ressurect the dead for me!
has the new card solved the prob? The problem Iam having is almost identical to yours. I purchased a 2gig mini sd card (bn) for my atom. When inserted into my laptop's integrated sd reader, it would recognise a card has been inserted but would not open the card (but the Atom recognised the card).
Thinking I have bought a faulty card, I sent it back to manufacturer. The seller tested and concluded there is nothing wrong with the card but sent me a new one.
I had the same trouble with the new card. Convinced the card was not faulty, I purchased a new card reader.
The firt day i connected the card into the reader. things were SMOOTHE! I was lovn life. The card was read instantaniously and i proceeded to fill the card with a hole heap of goodies (including tomtom).
I used up approx 100mb of stuff that day and ejected the card from reader and inserted in my atom. Data was read with no trouble on pda and pc.
I inserted the sd card back into card reader the following day and now it seems the data originally put on from the first 'contact' is now locked. I cannot delete nor add anything else to the card. Oh and before anyone asks: yes, the lock was and is in the UNLOCK position (i dont even use the lock).
So my next move now is to exchange my card reader with a simpler/single slot. I read somewhere that cardreaders/devices sometimes lock data (dont know how true it is but got no choice).
in summery:
buying an external card reader solved the initial issue of recognizing/reading sd card but created another problem of LOCKING the sd card.
Is anyone else having issues with large sd cards?
I solve the problem by inserting card to Digital Camera that use SD card.
it formatted without error.
Card Reader and other phones does not format it. I think because of file system.
hmm... I will try that. will keep you all posted.
I am trying to use linux on my BA, as shown here http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHowtoInstallLinux , i have all of the necessary files and follow all the steps, but when I insert the card my BA asks me if I want to format the card to make it readable. I am using a digital camera as a card reader to put the files on the card.
Any suggestions?
not sure about BA but with wallaby
one used a tool to put the rom on the sd card
after the tool had put the rom on the sdcard even the
sd card reader could not read the card
nor could the pda
unless! it was in bootloader mode in which case it just
auto upgraded from the sd card
could give it a try
What do you mean by 'it auto-upgraded'?
Do have the first partition FAT16 formatted, and the second one ext3?
Yes, yes I do.
got it working, it was just screwy partitioning.
but, PROBLEM! when linux is booting it barks at me 'kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs'
all fixed. it was just my screwy partitioning skills. i ended up using gparted instead of mkfs.
My mobile, for hours didnt recognized my memory card, and i didnt know why that happenned.. I read that the only solution was to buy another SD..
But After reading a lot of forums, and tried a lot of things, I found another solution.
I put my memory card into a memory card reader and connected it to my pc. Even my pc didnt recognize my memory card.. it had an error. so I couldnt even do a back up.. So I clicked right click on My Computer, then manage> Disk management> right click on my card, And then format. I didnt wanted to loose my data so I downloaded "Recuva" and I choosed what things I wanted to recover (after the successful format FAT32, which also made my SD card visible)
And so my sd card was visible again and I recovered whatever I wanted.
Hope I helped... But please do this at your own risk!
Sorry for bad english
You can use data recovery software to scan memory card and then recover your files. First connect memory card to computer with a card reader, and then follow this guide: sd card data recovery
hope this helps.

Google for: "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition Setup" It's freeware. Put card into a reader, not phone-to-pc, start minitool, and look, if there are more than one partition and if it is FAT32!
Hope that will help!
You can also try the hp format tool from here http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
It is much better than stock windows formatter.

Tried,,,but nothing...say that the sd is read only and dont give me any options.Thanx
How many files/folders do you have on the card?
Maybe too many AND very small size?
If not, then check a pc with linux and try to format with it...

happened to my 32gb sdhc class 10 card which made me REALLY depressed :crying::crying::crying::crying:
i'm sorry for ur loss.
I can't delete or move files from Windows or Mac onto MY SD Card.
Android writes fine and I could write to the card before I put the card into the phone the first time.
Is there some sort of block that android is using?
If I keep the memory card in the HTC and connect with USB I can access the card but not with just a card reader.
any idea?
Forgot to mention it is formatted as EXFAT.
