SD Card corruption problem. any solution to this:

Upgrading my ROM to the latest build has greatly improved the issue with SD card corruption but i am still unable to copy large files (100mb and above) from my computer, it starts copying and halfway through gives an error message that there is insufficient space on the card even though there's more than 600mb available before copying. I then find that i have either lost 30-40mb on the card jus disappearing and sometimes it just corrupts the card and i lose all the information on it
is there a solution for this? is there such a utility that would copy large files without corrupting the card? assuming it is activesync that is causing this
please advise
many thanks in advance

i guess you should buy yourself a USB2.0 card reader for ~10 euros and copy whatever you want to card........

afraid to say that is the exact same experience i've had.
Prolem, it seems is with active sync, I can copy hundreds of files but no file greater than about 100Mb onto my 1Gig card.
Had to resort to a card reader, bit of pain in the arse as now i've got another device fighting for desk space, but the benefits are worth it, MUCH faster and you can copy pretty much anything.

my storage card sometimes disappears from the file explorer. any solution to that?

The only problem I've had with my Sandisk 1GB Ultra II is that when I take the card out of the device and put it into as card reader, all of the directory names are scrambled random characters, and I can't write to or read from the card. I had the same problem with a 256Mb trandflash card.

You can use the program "pocket mechanic". with this you can scan, repair, format and defrag your SD/MMC.
Good luck,
Giovanni

Try Softick cardexport, then you can use you're magician as an usb-drive. It writes faster than act.sync and probably without size issues and it will save you another device as well :wink:
Good luck

6828 - mini sd card access problem

hi, just got my 6828 with 80x 2gb. i hv a problem tat i need to always softreset after i performed some file maintenance like copy files from/to the sd card (either to pc or to device's memory). the response of the device just got lagging/or not responding at all after the copy. 1 strange thing is that i got into the similar situation when i just simply create a new folder in sd card.
my card is formatted to FAT 32K cluster with no backup FAT now, tested with FAT32 512b, 4k etc still the same problem. i slotted the card into my old 3970 and hav no problem at all!
anyknow wat's wrong?

Storage Card2

Few days ago my storage card (mini SD 1Gb) got new name: Storage Card2.
I noticed that after a soft reset (hp ipaq 6965, WM5) a new folder had been created on the hp device, called Storage Card and the actual storage card (with all files) was being designated Storage Card2.
If I delete the new folder and remove and reinsert SD card then it reverts to being storage card. Unfortunately it reverts to storage card2 after every soft reboot.
How to solve above problem ?

Encounter this before too. But some how it does not happen too frequent.
May be you would want to try defragmenting your memory card?

Would a full hard reset solve this?

just hard reset ppc storage card problem will solve

Not only with hard reset, If this happens, all the shortcuts/launchers for applications that are installed in the Storage card will stop working, though you can still launch them by going to the respective folder in Storage Card2. You cannot delete "Storage card" folder because some applications may be using files from here. The solution? Rename the folder! Once you rename, immediately do a soft reset. Once the OS boots again, quickly locate this renamed folder and delete it. Now you can insert your SD/CF card back and you will see it being properly named as Storage Card. Peace.
Good Luck!

Memory cards changed name

A strange thing happened - my memory card changed its name from Storage Card to Storage Card2 - now my progs dont work!
Anyone know how to change it back?

i had that happen to me once, i took the memory card, and deleted the folder called storage card from file explorer and then reinserted the memory card again. You might need to soft reset afterwards

Some program likely tried to write to the card while it was out.
Take your card out
Delete the remaining "Storage Card" folder
Reinsert the card.

Did you try and move the inbox to the memory card?
Have a look at these threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=33714901

didnt do anything, think it tried to do something when it was connected to the computer as a storage device.
All sorted now, many thanks.

same problem here... hmmmm.. please htc.. do something

try a soft reset.
are you on a VF uk phone?

Got the same problem last week.
I find out the memory card got corrupted. dont know why.
XP didnt seen the card in reader at all.
Vista helped me to format the card, but i lost all my data, as i have to do full format to get the card live again.

Yes tried that. Yes on Vodafone but using laurentius26's Ultimate Rom which I believe is based on a T-Moile rom. I have been using this for some months without issue.

How do you format a memory card that can't be seen?

when you open file explorer can you see it there
or has it dissapeared from that too?

File Explorer will not open so soft reset now it opens but whole startup process now quite slow.Storage card indicated ...tap on it get inbox .mstxxx so email I guess and Temp folder containing cookies, History and temp int files. Thats my lot.

This is a common problem. Try removing the memory card, soft resetting then delete the folder "Storage Card" or "Storage Card2" if it exists. Reset again and insert memory card.
This problem occurs when the storage card is mounted on a PC (Disk Drive mode) and an application such as email tries to write to it. Windows decides the folder (as the storage card is mounted as a folder) has been deleted, so re-creates it. When the memory card is unmounted from the PC, windows has to call it something other than "Storage Card" as that name has now been allocated to a folder.
If that is not the problem, put the card into a PC and see if it recognizes it. It might say "this card is not formatted" etc. in which case you need to reformat and lose all of the data on it

the_sikko is quite correct the same thing happened to me last week. I simply re-connected to the pc and deleted the newly created 'storage card' and that resolved my problem.

I did notice a folder called Storage card earlier on now after numerous resets it's gone. I have also reset back to factory settings. Each time I reinsert the card Windows Mobile Device centre shows me the memory card (although my phone indicates no sd card loaded etc.) but when I try to access it, it disappears!

Try increasing the timeout that allows your storage card to be detected when the device is booting or coming out from suspension.
These registry edits worked for me:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPUnloadDelay“=dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPWaitIODelay“=dword:8196
Also, you may want to disable the power management on your storage card with:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
“DisablePowerManagement“=dword:00000001
Hope this helps

Ok now I will have to learn wo to edit my registry

So without having to edit my registry I managed to grab the file that said Storage card but when I tried to delete (with the card still inserted) it I'm told Access is denied and I should check the card is not write -protected or currently in use. When I try to open it it simply disappears. If I try to delete it with the card removed I get Cannot delete "mxip_notify":There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.
Any suggestions?

Could really do with some help here cos I'm well and truelly lost in terms of what my options are.

I literally just had this issue. I have two Kingston 4GB cards and one of them simply stopped working. I wasn't able to copy anything from the mSD card to my laptop, so have simply formatted the card and now it no longer shows up in Windows Explorer (Windows 7).
Now i'm using the other card. I can tell by the way this card is responding in the HD2 that the other card became corrupt. I have just ordered two Transcend 8GB mSD cards from eBay for about £30.
I downloaded a tiny piece of software which is supposed to bypass Windows Explorer limitations and force format SD cards...but it won't work because the card just doesn't show to the laptop.

Well in the end I put the SD card into the card slot of a PC and after a very very long time I managed to format the card. All is well now.

my card got corrupted too

maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done.

Had to Hard Reset
Just to add my two pennies worth.
None of the above worked for me. In the end I had to Hard Reset. Harrumph!
