Hi all, just got a byteStor sd card but can't seem to copy anything to it, i've tried switching the lock, i've tried formatting it but to no avail.
has anyone any ideas ???
TIA
Does your XDA II recognise it?
One thing to try is inserting the card while XDA II is on and see if it prompts you to format it. If it's not formatted it should prompt you.

Hi dcs, yes it sees the card and the folder i created on it, just don't seem to be able to copy any file of any format across to it, haven't used activesynce yet, just the card reader on the pc, i'll try activesynce and lt you know.
Thanks

If I try just copying a file with the sd card in the card reader on the pc then it says that the disk is wright protected.
I've just tried copying an mp3 using activesync and it works ???? strange
So you are saying that with the card in the XDA II you can browse it from Activesync's explore option and write to it successfully? and that on your PC, the card reader doesn't seem to allow writing to it?
If that's the case, then maybe you should look at the card reader and its drivers. I think I read something somewhere about XP getting things wrong with memory cards.

It's a built in unit, not a seperate reader but yes, I will look at the driver option.... thanks
I think you might have to just let it sit for a while. It does that to me all the time.
hi guys! m new here.. i have a prob with my sd card. everything from copying files to sd card to reformatting are fine. however when i open the files using the sd, oftentimes it stops running.
i'm opening mpeg and pdf files of more than 3mb. i'm using 1Gig pqi sd card 60x.
help....
Help!!
I just got my 1gb apacer 60x sd card for my blueangel.
earlier i was using 1gb mmc card. that was working fine.
now with active sync, or with file explorer on phone, i can not delete or create anything new on the external card.
though the carrd works fine with a card reader...
i even reset the lock and tried but nothing happens..
am i missing some step somewhere??
do i need to format the card b4 using it in my BA?
reading is not a problem, its only writing, and that too from the phone and activesync only.
Pls help!!

Hi,
i'm using in my HERM200 microSD card Kingston 2GB. I have CRC 13.0 Rom. I have problem with my card, because I 'm using this card on Linux and on Windows Xp.
If i'm in Win i'm using WMstorage or ActiveSync or card reader to copy files.
If i'm in Lin i'm using WMstorage or card reader to copy files. Always I do unplugging card before disconnecting.
But after some time my card is corrupted and i can't access some files. I have tried two different microSD card, but both are Kingston 2gb.
What I do wrong ?
Try to use fix error and see if does the trick. I know my card did that one time, and i did fix errors, and its working just fine after that.
i've tried, but it didn't help
i think if this is not incompatibility between card and herm200.
As I wrote, this problem is repeating after some time of using device and copying files.

might want to ask CRC on his thread directly he uses his kitchen in linux i think and i don't think he's having any issues
i think, that this isn't rom specific problem, because i had this problem on other roms too.

no, but i''ll try it.
but i have question.
i had some rom (now i don't know which) with sd card fix or sd power management fix. Has Herm200 some problems with sd ?
Anyone know of an application that will allow me to check the micro SD card is OK ?
I suspect I have a fault in the card as I had to recopy 2 folders and the PC can't read the card directly.
It would be nice to check first without going through all the backup and restore time (16 gigabyte card).
Thanks, D.

I've never heard of a WM program to do this but you could try putting the card in your pc and using Scandisk command.

Thanks - but the PC does not recognise the card !!
But, you've given my the idea to try it directly from a DOS window using scandisk from the command line.
Thanks, D.
Active Sync?
Will you get access to the (corrupted) storage card while connected your THD with activesync?
Other way to check could provide EasyRecovery from OnTrack and your THD has to be connected in diskdrive mode.
In generell I used a tool named h2testw - which was developed by a German Computer Magazin called CT. http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/2008/09/02/h2testw-14-gold-standard-in-detecting-usb-counterfeit-drives/
This is the best one to check physical errors on every externel memorycard connected through USB. It has to be used on a new formated card.
Thank you for the tips I will explore those.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I can see the card via active sync but not via USB style connect.
I can not see the card when I directly connect it via a card reader.
I was able to use a different card OK and reinstall my GPS app (Route 66) which had gotten screwed up by this card "fault".
I'll report back on results ...
Hmm
These two don't work because I can't see the card from the PC (except via activesync)
There is a file called "~Recycled" in the storage card which does not show in the standard pocket pc file explorer but does show up in total commander.
Maybe that is causing a problem - will investigate on google what this is.

Noop - that's not it. Apparently this is just a delete folder from Resco File Explorer. It should not stop the PC from seeing the card.
Searching further ...
same problem here, I am contacting Orange to try to get a replacement. Not sure if its under warranty.
Try Pocket Mechanic for PPC... it has a Scan Disk utility amid a collection of others.
Successfully repaired my micro SD card with this when my HD was having problems reading my storage card some 3 days back.
Good luck!
a microsd card 8GB class 4 came with my phone
today after I took a picture with the phone camera I forwarded to see but no sd card
I connected it to PC then the windows asked me to format ... I wondered the the card space became 30.6MB !!!!
and cannot be formatted .
I tried many ways to recover the sd card such as SDFormatter v3 , DriveRestore_Professional , EASEUS Partition Master , and more ... without benefit !!!
can any one explain what happened with the solutions if possible please
Try using the formatting option on your Phone, or you could try CWM to do it too.
Try doing what XD suggested, if that didn't work, try formatting with another pc
I tried to format using CWM and using 3 PC's (win7 & xp) without any benefit
That happened to me once.
if possible You have to connect the SD card directly in your computer (SD Adaptor or any SD card reader).
If you're using windows, you have to go to control panel--> Admins tools, and then go to disk partitions. There you have to identify your SD card on the list and eliminate all partitions that could be on your SD card. Then you have to create a new partition on that SD and the format it.
There you go.

Can you use or format another sd card? the purpose of this is to see whether it's actually the sd card that's at fault here

Faulty card, user error, who knows without some sort of log to determine why.

Maybe, maybe not, if it's not faulty then there's no reason why it wont, and if other users on the thread of whatever ROM, kernel or both you're using have reported the same issue then I don't see why it wouldn't. Given that you've already said that you've tried everything suggested I suspect it's a faulty card, but you're never going to know unless you try.
thanks anyway for you all
Format in linux You must of tried turn you sd card into ram thing or ext overload at lease it will tell you what is wrong with your sd

Only music filles are not seen or all the other filles that you copied?
Try to format the card from the phone. I have a samsung pro 16gb card and i had no problems. I just put the card in the slot and then conected to computer.
What type off card do you have. maybe windows do not have the corect drivers for it. Try installing the card drivers manually.
Good luck hope you resolve the problem.

Hi. Picked up this phone a week ago. I love it. I put a sd card in from another phone. I got it in and it sees it but I cannot read it or format it. Does it have to be a certain sd card to work?
Download file Commander and format sd card, if it won't do it, connect the SD to the PC and format it on NTFS:highfive:
I tired pk unzip but there is no format option. I formated the card with my computer like you said but it still doesn't see it.

Can you see a popup informing you about "SD Card" inserted.
You need to complete that step from the notification menu.
Select it as Media Storage for using it properly.

Hi
So try to format it as FAT32
I do get a notification but everytime I use it, it crashes. I tried the FAT32 format but still get the same results. I am trying this with two different sd cards which work fine in my old phone and laptop. I think it's the phone. Some googling resulted in Xperia phones not being able to read sd cards properly.

Ok so I have an idea, have you been on an airport or over a metal detector? If yes, it means that your SD card or phone got demagnetized (happened also to me with old phone), so buy a Sony SD card that resist to them :good:
