Hi, my xda is functioning normally but when I soft reset my xda, I got the following error: Cannot find 'Storage'. After few seconds or a minute, it would be ok. What does it mean? Anyway to correct the error message?
Actually, thats pretty similar to an issue I'm looking at. The storage card doesn't seem to accessible sometimes after a soft reset or after the device has been in hibernation.
Just reformatted the SD as FAT32 and waiting to see if it is still a problem
I have sometime the same issue...but I think is a matter of the internal storage and not of the storage card..
Anyone every come up with a solution to this? I'm getting this Storage is not accessable every time I reset now.
I do not know how close my issue is to what you are facing, but I had that issue when I upgraded to WM5 and then downgraded to W2K3.
The only thing I did was to run the repartition tool (Repart_DOC.exe) and created a larger extended rom (16,000 was the number that I used).
And placed the files (cooked extended rom 1.4.125) in the extended rom, and hard reset the SX66, and the message went away...
I do not know how close this is, but I think that extended rom has something to do with the "Storage".
One more thing, there is a distinction between "Storage" and "Storage Card". The above method worked for me to gain access once again to the "Storage" and not the "Storage Card"
Yeah I'm on WM2005 now so technically there is no storage. I've been running fine for weeks but starting getting this a week or so ago on hard resets.
\storate missing
upgrading to rom v1.40 doens't seem to fix this, i thought it would
i'm on tech support of more than a hundred blueangels and it frustrates me to hardreset the device everytime this problem occurs .. any help will surely be appreciated.
another problem, 'permanent save' causes the bluangel to hang, so we had to do away with it.

In the Extended ROM - Delete RestartRadio.exe
and/or alter config.txt so it won't be started.
just do a manual Restart (flight mode)
And now you won't get the error anymore.

Hi all,
This has happened twice in a roll now... I removed the battery to replace my SIM card the other day and after reboot, the internal storage was missing. I couldn't get it back online and had to do a hard reset. Everything (or at least it seem) went back to normal after that.
And I had to replace my SIM again today and the same thing happen!!!! The internal storage is gone again from file explorer and all the RAM management tools report it isn't there as well. The SD card though is showing up just fine, only the internal storage is missing... Is there any easy way I can bring it back online??? And anyone know what could of cause this?? Thanks!
Very strange behaviour indeed... Wish I could help... I remember changing my SIM once using my PDA2k, but everything was normal as it should be.
Good luck !
It's happened to me twice on my PDA2K in three months.
The only way I've found to get it back it a hard reset. Thank god for Sprite Back Up.
This was once discussed and we narowed it down to being O2Plus version screw up. Do you have that installed? If you do, then a hard reset IS THE only solution. Other than that, I have no other reasons why your storage drive would disappear.
Yup, I have O2Plus 1.6 installed... I just did a little test as well, right after the hard reset, I removed the battery again and everything seems fine, the storage is intact. And then I do a full restore with O2Plus 1.6 being there and the storage disappeared again after disconnecting the battery!
I think I removed the battery couple of times when I have O2Plus 1.5 and everything was fine then, so it's version 1.6 that's causing the problem???
Yes, I had a problem with 1.6 and missing storage as well. I stay away from O2Plus altogether, but some members have had success with v.1.5. But just make sure to have a backup handy just in case.
this might be a little off topic just cuz i use a different phone but the same thing happend to me. i use the 4100 audiovox i presed the reset button along with the rocker button i got the boot loader.
there is an option to format the flash in there. after doing so it did come back. i dontknow if this will help you or not but good luck if u havent already .
Hmm....
I have this problem even when I am not running O2Plus....
I use Magician
Diamond Missing internal storage
I have discovered the same issue of the Internal storage missing, I have tried flashing it with the latest and greatest firmware and nothing appears to bring it back. It just does not show up when the phone and when I go to memory it just says that the Internal Storage card is not installed.
Any help would be fantastic.
I do not have any other applications installed (including 02Plus)
Hi
In the last week or so my SD card has suddenly started disappearing until I soft reset the device. If I remove and reinsert a different card this also does not appear. The only way I have found to resolve the problem is to do a soft reset. It will then be visible for a day until it disappears again.
I haven't been able to narrow it down to a specific application or action.
Has anybody else seen this (or even better know what the problem may be?)
I have had the same problem i found it to be "Spb ToPlay" everytime i used it if i stopped it playing i lost all sound on my XdaIIs and the SD card went missing. removed the plug-in and havent had the problem since...........................do you have this plug-in? if you dont then i have no idea sorry i couldnt help.
I have recently installed spb time but it doesn't conincide with my problems starting. I may try disabling it to see if that makes a difference.
this has happened to me before, but i didnt have anything like you mentioned installed, so it must be a bug or something!!!
I found on my M1000 that the card will not be visible when the battery gets low, most times it gives a message like "the power is too low to support the device"
Happens to me with my O2 XDA IIs. When I contacted O2 about it, guess what their reply was?

"Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, you may like to remove your storage card and monitor the device. Please note that O2 Asia has tested with different brands of 256MB SD card and works fine. However, storage card of larger size may not work properly and cause the device to hang. You may also like to test your unit with another storage card to verify. Hope the above information is useful for you. Thank you."

"With regards to your query below, you may like to perform a hard reset and
without restoring back any data back to the phone, try to change the
landscape again and see if the problem still persist.
**To perform a full reset:
Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone
to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while
data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.
Before performing the full reset, use ActiveSync to keep a backup of your
Pocket PC Phone data so that if you need to clear memory, you can restore
the data on your Pocket PC Phone.Do not use Xbackup on your device to do
backup for your data.
To perform a full reset on XdaIIs, press and hold the power button, and then
use stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time. After the full
reset, you will be prompt to recalibrate the touch screen.
Hope the information is useful to you. If you have any further enquiries,
please feel free to contact us."
What a load of crap!
Ok...
I know, this is wierd...but every now and then the \storage card folder just disappears from the system. It's like the pocket pc no longer recognizes that there's an SD card there. I've tried taking it out, and then putting it back in. But that doesn't solve the problem. The only way I could get the device to recognize that there's an SD card installed in the slot, is via a soft reset.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I used to have an iPaq h4350, and this NEVER happened...
Thanks,
Quordandis
Strange...
Tell more about your SD card and device's ROMs (versions).
Let's see... I have a Siemens SX66 model PH20B1, ROM v1.40.00 WWE, Radio v1.13.00, ExtROM 1.40.125 WWE
The SD card is a PNY 1gb....Wierd, huh?
Thanks,

I have a similar problem. But the \Storage Card 'sometimes' comes after removing and inserting back, otherwise the softreset will only do the trick. Any idea. My ROM versions are as in my sig
Our versions are almost identical, except the ExtROM is slightly different (which I'm not sure really makes much of a difference). Also, taking it out and putting it back in does NOTHING for my device....only a soft reset will solve the problem....
Any ideas?
Thanks,

SD Card spontaneously Disappears
I have the same problem... if I press a little bit the storage card down it appears again. I thing this is due to bad contact result of a fall.
I send it to repair but came the same way, they only up-to-date the rom version.
Should I try to open it and check the contcats !?!?
some more info
When the PPC enters this mode, if I browse the storage card through the PC (via active sync), it shows only the folders and all files are missing. If I sopft-reset it and check it again, (life came back) I could see all the files then.
Any idea why this is?
Yes, I noticed the same thing today...!
The folders on my Storage Card are still there...but are empty! File explorer shows that the folders DO contain stuff.
I have tried to soft-reset, but no luck yet. Strange.

Softreset worked for me..
I occasionally get this - usually when I have been using tomtom 5 and getting it to recalculate a lot - I noticed last time that the unit was a bit warm, so it may just be a thermal issue - I have overclocked to 530MHz+.
A soft reset sorts it out
I get this a lot too.. Programs that are currently running are
1. PocketPlus 3.0
2. Resco 2005
I notice 1 thing though.. that if I do a quick ON/OFF, the SD disappears and I have to softreset to get it back.
However, my work around is that when I switch it on, I let the thing fully load first before turning OFF the unit. (See through Resco today pluging-in). When the indicator appears.
So far hasn't bother me for more then a week d..
Happy trying.
Will try the same trick then...
I've uninstaled pocket plus 3.0 and never hapen again.I still have resco explorer 2005
Best regards
ooh
Im experiencing that same problem. The only way toget rid of this annoying thing is to soft reset the device.
The other day my P3300 was somewhat slow and I decided to give it a soft reboot. Ever since it keeps on rebooting. It reaches the phase where you may enter your pincode but when it wants to load the user interface it reboots again.
Sometimes I have luck and after 5 loops or so it finally gets into full WM5.
If I remove the SD card the problem dissappears. So I expect it's the card (which never corrupt(ed/s) on me).
Another option would be it has run out of main memory. I'm a little short on that one. Would it reboot if memory was too low?
I think a hard reset or format of the SD card would solve it but that is the easy way. I want to know the reason so it won't happen again.
HTC P3300 T-mobile Compact III
2GB Sandisk microSD
WM5 and updates original as a danish virgin
I installed the Artemis SD patch
I had this a few times and the only way around it was a hard reset followed by a recovery of the phone from SPB backup.
It always seemed to follow me installing software, but never the same application so I thought it had corrupted something in the startup. You can try booting without the card installed and it should be OK, then you may be able to work out what app ./ reg entry is causing it.
HTH
I rebooted without card and it worked
i put the sd card in my cardreader and defaced some .exe's in my autorun folder (the 2527 folder). Than it worked again. Until... a few days ago it started all over again.
did the same procedure but there was no .exe anymore in the autorun folder.
I dont want to do hard reset. Do you guys have any clue if i can see in the register what it tries to run?
it's defenitely one program doing this. It boots straight into WM5 and is responsive but after let's say 3 seconds BOOM there it reboots again.
Mine did the same, deleted a few folders from the storage card Program Files\ folder, think from memory the progs causing mine to reboot were CE Converter Pro, Pocket Weather & E Wallet Pro, but as already mentioned it can be any number of different programs, I didn't delete any reg entries, just the actual folders on the memory card, it seems to be a common problem I a very serious bug as far as I'm concerned, definitely one that needs addressing.
In one of my more thoughtless moments I have installed the emoze client on my S620. Now the phone locks up after every restart. Is there any way I can stop that software from starting or do I have to do a hard reset!

I guess you never found an answer here? I have the exact same problem. Old versions of emoze worked fine... new one, killed my dash.
I haven't tried it, but from other posts I've gathered that you can remove the SIM card, start the phone, do NOT clear the error at boot, connect USB to a PC and launch ActiveSync, then remove the offending program from \Windows\StartUp. This avoid the hard reset.

I'm not really familiar with this app, but just out of curiosity, did you install this on your micro-SD card? if you did, then remove the sd card and then reboot. This will make the startup link "fizzle out" since it's pointing to media located on a piece of hardware that is not installed. This should allow you to then re-insert the micro-SD card (after a couple of minutes) and then go through the settings-->>remove programs ...portion
Thanks for the feedback.
I cant remember where I installed the offending software.
I have done a hard reset since the original post and all is working fine, but I will snaffle those ideas away for future reference - should it ever happen again.
I love this forum!
