I've just bought a pqi 1gb sd card but can't upload more than 716 mb of data even though settings on my pda tell me I've got 976 mb to play with and there's 257 mb free. When I try and copy using active sync I can't. It tells me there is insufficient room - yet the display shows there is 257mb free. why? Is the card defective?
Have you tried using a card reader? Activesync seems to be problematic when dealing with large files.
Thanks, but I don't have an sd card reader. It seems to read fine if I delete some of the files and replace them again but then it sticks at 715mb. These are mp3 files so not particularly large. Even if i try and add word or excel files it still won't let me beyond 715mb.
Well.. actually my PQI SD 1Gb card is loaded with 875Mb and i have more or less 99Mb free. I used activesync to copy the files on the PDA, so i think that your problem is not on the activesync connection. I have an i-mate PDA2K, and with activesync 3.71 and PQI SD 1Gb card i don't have the problem that you found, maybe your card is defective!
Funny, I've just deleted everything from my 512mb sd card and yet the pda settings are telling me I've got 19.94 mb in use on the card even though I've nothing on that card? I'm wondering if my settings are correct? Can you set an upload limit onm the xda2?
Ignore last post. No probs with my 512 cards. This 1gb card must be defective. Why else can't I upload more than 715mb of mp3s to the card?
Try pocket Mechanic and Format yor SD-Card with another FAT system.

I have the o2 xdaii and a 512mb sd memory card in it which in memory storage card properties reports it as 487.89mb. But even when i format the card put it in the xda ii, I still can not copy anything larger then aprox 200mb: where is the extra 312mb going?
Try transferring the files after formatting with a card reader/writer, there seems to be a problem with large files over activesync.
Hi everyone,
I upgraded my XDA succesfully by using the SD method with a card from my digital camera. After that, I formated the sd card with the card reader then I plugged it in my digital camera.
And here is my problem, the digital camera doesn't recognise anymore this Hi-speed 512 sandisk. I tried everything to recover it but no success at all until now. :twisted:
I understand by using the OSI image tools, the card has been formated in a special way to make space for the file NK.nb1
So if someone has got any similar experience, be welcome to give me any tips for a solution.
Thanks.
i just formatted my card with my xda
and pocked mechanics
My digital camera has the option to format while in the camera, have you checked the built in menus? You could try formatting your card in the card reader with FAT16 if it is FAT 32 at the moment, if it is FAT 16 NOW then try FAT32.
Hi guys,
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry I forgot to say. My XDA card reader and my PC card reader don't have any problem to read or write or format this SD card, Which I did. FAT and FAT 32, but there's no result for my digital camera.
Always the same message: " unable to use the card" and the SD Card was working perfectly before.
One strange thing I have noticed (I think) is that the memory capacity is different now. I get 6 Mb more than before.
Otherwise, yes I tried to format the card with the OS from my digital camera but without any success as the camera doesn't let me any possibility to access to the menu with the card plugged in it. I'm stuck.
Before to use OSI image tools the capacity was;
FAT: 477 MB
After:
FAT: Free space : 507109376 bytes => 483 MB
FAT 32: Free space: 506372096 bytes =>482 MB
I'm just wondering if maybe a header from this SD card was wiped out during the process. Maybe some of you guys know a software who could read and write on this special part of the SD card, then I would compare and maybe repaire it.
Thx
Hi,
Is it possible that someone try to plug a sd card who was used to flash a PDA in a digital camera minolta Z3 or other Z...?
I would be interrested to get a feed back on the result.
Cheers,
Finally after several Emails to (Minolta and Sandisk) I got a valuable answer from Minolta who confirmed my first thought. BTW, Sandisk never replied to me, I’m very disappointed by them. Fortunately, there are others competitors in this sector.
Guess what for the next new SDcard…
So:
On each SD card (Others models certainly too), there are several important information on the boot. This information is necessary to inform the digital camera on the technical specification from the SDcard. If the original boot is missing or corrupted, the digital camera doesn’t recognize the SD card properly and screen the following message “Unable to use this card”.
And here is the solution to recover an original boot for your SD card. You should use SDFormatter V1.1 .
Now my SD card is like a new one(only joking) .
Cheers,
Just bought a 1 GB sd Card. However I always get a write failure when copying music (mp3 260 mb) files from my card reader to my sd card?????? (xp home edition) Active sync takes to long and I never had this problem with a 256 sd card. Any suggestions appreciated. Formatted the card..........no use......Please help Thx!!!!
I've bought a 4 Gb Sd Card yesterday, when i inserted it in my pc it asks me to format the card (showing me a size of 3800 Mb c.a.), but after i've done it now my card seems to be only 950 Mb c.a..... I've tried almost everything looking for a solution on the web (for example format again, format again but by DOS, use Panasonic SD Formatter, etc) but nothing, i can't have the size setted to 4 Gb...
What can i do to solve this problem?
Basically you must have bought a fake 4g card that is actually 1g. You can use your ppc as a storage device (using wm5torage) to format it through the pc. If it still reports 950mb you will then know for sure that it is a 1g card. The vendors have a way to trick the card to initially report a higher capacity but you will experience data loss if you use it that way without reformatting to the actual capacity.
I really need some help guys. I recently bought a 2gig memory card for my Dash running the Kavana 6.1 update. I later on inserted the card into one of my other phones and formatted it. However, when I view the storage card from Windows Mobile Device Manager, I no longer have my 1 point something gig of memory, but a paltry 966 MBs. Anyone know what happened and if there is a solution? I tried inserting the card into my memory slots using the adapters but no luck, as it never shows up..
wthe device manager might have corrupted the card because the dash is only supposed to have 1gig. cards is my guess and if thats the case u just have to reformatt on a card reader and not use with mobile manager...

try formatting your card in your phone you can use resco explorer to format it
The Dash (out of the box) can take up to 2gb card. Even after changing the ROM it would take a 2gb card. What phone did you use to format the card? if the phone you used to format it could not take a 2gb card it would format it exactly to what you are saying, basically change it to a 1gb card.
Format it in your computer use fat16, do a full format. Hopefully you will be able to erase the new file table that says 1gb and restore it to a 2gb.

Not on Vista you wont. You'll need a XP system... the only other option is to set your view types in windows exploere to show system and hidden files on the storage card then delete them. Then use your dash to format the card. Its a long shot but it might work. If not.. looks like you are in the market for a new 2gb card.
also remember windows never shows the full size of a card or any other form of storage. remember 1 gig is actually 1024 megs. and never shows the reserved system space.
