Backpack & Microdrive 4GB: Works or not? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi All,
I just received a Hitachi 4GB Microdrive but it looks that it cannot be recognised by my O2 XDAII v.1.60.00 WWE version.
In Win XP it is recognised by my card reader as formatted with FAT32 and shows 4GB capacity. Works properly.
When inserted in the Backpack, I am prompted for the driver (atadisk.dll) but after entering it, nothing happens. No extra Storage file added. Nothing.
Hitachi Support site says that the newer drivers are included in Win Mobile.
The threads in the Forums don't help much to solve the problem.
Anybody has solved it? Is the 4GB microdrive compatible or not?
Could somebody throw any help at this? :?:
Many Thanks,
Gear :?

Update, 16 Sept. 2004
Two months later and looking through ALL threads for the Microdrive in this site and the respective links, the only thing discovered was a picture of a 340(?) MB Microdrive inserted in the Backpack.
I assume (mentioned in another thread) that up to 2 GB the Microdrive should work but I am not willing to buy a second one to find out.
No luck though for the 4GB Microdrive up-to-date.
If anybody knows anything different, please post a reply.

Backpack and 4GB Microdrive
Did anyone actually manage to solve this one? I've just got hold of a 4GB drive and can't get it recognised in the XDA2 at all
David

the XDA series has only been tested by o2 with cards upto 1gb. there is no garuntee it will work.

what about partising it in to two 2gb drives or 4 1gb drives? might work?

IT WORKS
I own the xda2i
i bought a backpack
i bought a ibm hitach 4gb microdrive
the device instantly recognises it as a 4gb storage card
who needs an ipod!!
o/s specs: win mobiile 2003 second edition vers. 4.21.1088
ps
i upload data to the card by putting it in a card reader slot from my pc.[/b]

where did you buy the backpack?is the one for XDA2 also work for XDA2i?
cheers

from an o2 shop......yes the backpack will fit the xda 2 and 2 i as they are the same casing but it will not fit the xda2s

IT WORKS
Could someone kindly post here the driver(s) file(s) of the XDA 2s for the disk?
There are two files on my XDA II both in the \Windows directory:
1)atadisk.dll dated 23 Feb. 2004 & size 16.5 k
2)AtaDisk.dll dated 15 March 2004 & size 18.5 k
but none of them can see the 4GB Microdrive.
Many thanks for the help.

i'm not suprised the xda 2s cannot recognize the 4gb microdrive in a backpack.......
the xda2s is not compatible with the backpack!!!
further more..... the backpack and microdrive need no drivers .... they are plug and play!!

IT Works.
I meant the drivers of the XDA 2i which seem to be newer than the ones in my XDA II.
Sorry for the confusion.
Gear

again:.......drivers????? the backpack plugs on... tyhje card goes in... it works no drivers neededc or provided... are you talking about the rom etc?

It is not that simple on the XDA II. The backpack plugs OK and is recognised but on the insertion of the microdrive it asks for drivers. It is not recognised as "plug 'n play". At least my 4GB Hitachi Microdrive. The exisiting drivers (above mentioned) in the XDA II, are not working to recognise the drive.
I suppose that in the new 2003 O/S the drivers recognise the drive. Hence my request for the newer ones.
Gear

i believe ur best option would be to forget about drivers and to update ur rom

O2 XDA 2 Backpack and CF cards/Microdrives

Hi everyone
I want to buy a backpack for my XDA 2 but dont know what card to buy with it. The Hitachi 4GB Microdrive works on a FAT32 system and no-one can tell me if this would work with my XDA 2. The microdrive can be found at the address below, any help would be great.
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=110763&sbadd=110763
Also, if anyone knows about pda bluetooth keyboards, post it please
I have the backpack and use it with CF memory cards. I would presume the microdrive will work OK as I used one in my earlier HP iPAQ H5550 PPC (with adapter sleeve) without problem. The FAT 32 was not an issue with the iPAQ and it is the same operating system as the XDA II.

Hello mlee2,
I have a magicstor 2.2 GB microdrive and use it with my backpack.
When i put it into the CF-Slot it begins to spin and everything seems ok.
but after a while spinning stops and the drive won't work. I always have to eject it an push it into the slot again. This is especially very ugly if you
want to hear music or watch movies.
So, don't know if the Hitachi works but magicstor won't.
Does anybody has a solution for that problem? :shock:
Frank
magicstor 2.2 GB microdrive
Hey Frank
I was told that the ibm/hitachi drives will work witth the XDA2 but i was also advised that magicstor would work and that you could get it from 7dayshop.com for under £100. I am going to buy the 4 gig hitachi version. Contact magicstor to find out if it could be a problem with the drive.
Good luck
Michael
Hello Michael,
this is what i got from mgicstor.
Dear Frank,
Sorry for so late reply for my oversight!Regarding your problem we
have not tested with our CF drive, so sorry I'm not sure its
compatibility and can not give you any advice about it for the moment.
However, please keep close to our compatibility list on the website
when update.
Thanks for your support of Magicstor product.
Best regards

The compa-list of magicstor
doesn't explicitly show that it is compatible with the xda2/backpack,
although i read somwhere that it should be!
Maybe it could be that the accu goes to hot and then Backpack or any driver it shuts off?
I only have the problem when straeming wmv or wma data
longer than 4 minutes.
So try the hitachi one and tell me please about success!

Max memory card size for the XDA Mini S / Wizard?

I've ordered an O2 XDA Mini S, due tomorrow, & was wondering if there was a limit on the size of mini-SD cards it can use?
Cheers
Don't know of an official maximum, but I have a 2GB miniSD in my TMobile USA MDA with no problems.
Cheers.
So you can use at least as high as 2GB...A lot higher than the 128MB limit my old SE P900 has on card size!
I use a 2gb, without problems. When they are released a 4GB card should work, as there are many reports of successful usage in prophets and magicians
Cool. Ordered a 2GB card, should be here in a couple of days
Where did you order your 2gig from, MyMemory.co.uk have decent prices on SanDisk 2gigs.
i also have a 2gig card, bought for around 60 euro and working fine!
Are there already bigger cards than 2gb Mini-SD?

2 Gig storage card not recognized by my Wizard
Hi,
I'm using MDA Vario. I bought 2 Gig storage card. At the first time, my MDA was able to recognize my 2 Gig mini SD. Then I put the card on the card reader on my Laptop in order to copy some file. There was a comment on the dialog box in my laptop that my 2 Gig mini SD has not been formated and the dialog box offered me to format it. Then I clicked yes to proceed the formatting process.
Unfortunatelly, after I format my 2 Gig mini SD using my laptop; My 2 Gig mini SD could not be recognized by my MDA, but my laptop is still able to recognize my 2 Gig mini SD card.
Up to the present I have not been able to use my 2 Gig mini SD on my Wizard since I format it using my Laptop.
I also has formated my 128MB and 256MB mini SD cards using the same laptop and it works on my MDA.
Could you please help me to fix the problem?
regards,
Stones
@ stones : try http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47484
Thank you very much for your advice. I've tried using pocket mechanic to format my mini SD, as recommended in the forum you gave to me; but, I still have not been able to use it. Pocket mechanic didn't recognise my mini SD.

T-Mobile MDA(US) compatible with 4GB miniSD!

http://www.unityelectronics.com/product-product_id/3912
Success with this one out of the box!
No need to re-partition. Full size recognized by the MDA.
Currently running the following from the card, no issues:
1. TomTom Nav 6
2. Windows Live Search
3. Movies in avi format useing TCPMP
4. MP3s using Win Media Player and TCPMP
5. PIE cache on the card.
Currently have it loaded up to 3805.5MB, 179.5MB free, total 3985 MB as reported by settings/memory.
WM5 file explorer see all the files I have on the card.
Total commander also works fine with the card.
Now it is just a matter of seeing how long the card will KEEP working.
4Gb miniSD card is still working. No hiccups today!
Just wanted you to know that *someone* is watching! :lol:
Please keep updating on whether it continues to work.

I have a 4GB card too. Got it off ebay. No problems with it to speak of. Had it for a few weeks. Have 2161.88 MB filled. 1711.53 Free. No problems with running stuff off it and playing music too.
When I want to buy a 4GB card, the saler told me that it better to use 2GB miniSD instead of 4GB miniSD in T-Mobile MDA. Because 4GB need more electric power. Do you find any problem on the battery life?

4g
Wow!
I have found that on a 1gig chip I could pack 6 movies created with Pocket DVD.
12 on a 2 gig.
So a 4 gig would hold 24!
Or, you could fit 45 CDs and STILL fit a dozen movies and all your files.
I am VERY interested!....
What brand of 4 GB are you guys using? Thanks.

See 1st post in this thread.
Warning! If your serial number starts with "HT604", it will probably NOT work. I have one of these cards (same place Mark got his) and it fails in my unit.
His works - his serial number starts with "HT606".
So there appears to be a HARDWARE difference - we are both running the same ROM!
Problem with 4GB miniSD
I have 2 TopRam 2 GB cards that work great - have never given me any problem.
So I got a 4 GB TopRam card. First day it worked fine - copied all files from my 2 GB card onto the 4 GB card with the card reader, it read fine in my 8125, showed almost 4 GB total capacity and over 2 GB free.
Then it suddenly quit being recognized. I thought I had a corrupt music file that caused the problem. I tried to reformat the card but it is now not recognized in my 8125, nor is it recognized in the card reader on my laptop, or in my digital camera. So I have no way to reformat it and try again. I tried the WM5torage trick posted elsewhere - it doesn't recognize the card either.
Any ideas? I know that 4 GB cards work in Wizards! But are they extremely finicky?
This is the second 4 GB card I've tried - the first was a Transcend SDHC and it was a bust from the get-go. But the TopRam seems like it should work, if I could just get it reformatted!
problem!
i just got my 4gb mini sd off ebay.
it is san disk brand.
i tried to format it with windows but windows wouldnt do FAT16.
so i formatted on my ppc and both my ppc and windows read only 1.89gb.
HELP!
My UnityElectronics 4GB is still working fine. I had some issues with PIE using the card for Cache, Temp Internet Files and Cookies. The MDA would keep reverting to phone memory for PIE instead of the 4 GB card. I went back to using Opera and have not had any other new issues.
I have my TomTomV6 1.4GB file on the 4 GB storage card and it worked flawlessly on my trip to PA last week.
I have also ordered the TOPRAM 4GB card and am waiting for it to arrive. Will be interesting to see if I run into the same problems others have had with the TOPRAM card.
Unfortunate that the SDHC card did not work. Over at HF there is a post that there is a dll and reg entries for SDHC. Wonder if it was just a bum card.
As for the TOPRAM card, have you contacted the ebay seller to inquire if he has heard of other similar issues? Sounds like it is no really populated with the full set of memory chips for 4GB. I ran into something similar last year with a card supposedly manufactured by NCP. Turned out to be a fraud. I contacted NCP in Singapore and they indicated that they did not make a 4GB card.
Have you tried TOPRAM directly to see if they have any suggestions?
http://www.topram.com/contact.htm
Interesting that their website shows the 4GB card but it is not on the miniSD page.??????
Will le you know how I make out the TOPRAM.

Support for mini SDHC

Does anyone know whether or not an 02 XDA Atom Exec will work with a 4gb mini SD (either from Sandisk or Transcend)? Would a firmware update solve the problem>? If not what options do i have
thks
i also have the same question.
I have the same question. I contacted O2 about the mini SDHC issue, but they are very vague with their answer (below - dated 16th July 2007)
"Thank you for contacting O2 Asia Technical Support.
With reference to the query that you have made, the Xda Atom has been tested with memory cards with a capacity of 2GB. By using a memory card with a higher capacity such as what you have mentioned, 4GB, may possibly cause some software conflict.Thus it may compromise the functioning of your device.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you.

If anyone is using a miniSDHC card on the atom, i will be glad to know which one. Also, is there any upgrade of software / firmware than can make this possible...
I have a miniSDHC card, Trascend brand. Won't read at all on the Atom. So don't get your hopes up. <_<
Try this drivers from HTC ATHENA for SDHC support on Atom.
Note, that it was not fully tested...

not SDHC but 4 gb works with atom
hi there,
I have an atom and it works with a 4 gb Topram minisd just fine, it's not no SDHC, and not sure if this answers your question. you can get this for like 40 bucks on e**y.

I bought O2 Atom Life just a week before. The same day I bought I did logged in to get WM6 upgrade and within 3 hours of purchase my device was on WM6.
When I downloaded the ROM after Registering and entering my IMEI the download page came and there was clearly mentioned that after WM^ upgrade the device will be able to use miniSDHC card but the capacity was not mentioned. BUT IT IS QUIET CLEARLY CONFIRMED THAT WM6 CAN READ miniSDHC CARD WHICH CAN BE ANYTHING ABOVE 2GB.
But its true that the device may start to slowdown, as well as the count of stored files increases to huge number. This is not tested by me but when I used 2gb card on MotoMing with more than 1000 files, the device started slowing down, though it was linux based. And we all know how windows behaves

I guess if it works for Atom, it also works for HP rw 6828 (with "helloWorld" WM6.1 Rom fro this forum)
Do you know if it works with a micro SD 8GB or higher with a mini SD adapter ?
Some people report that 8GB works.
I use a 2GB from "integral" without problem.
I tried with a 4GB micro SD Kingston with mini-SD adapter, and it seemed to work.
Any slowdown when a lot of files are on the SD card ?
Did someone tried this link
I purchased an second hand Atom Life with WM6.0 but it would not read a SDHC 4GB card until the attacehd program was installed. But i soon found that the standard ROM sucks and then loaded a WM6.1 from Medkid and it works like a dream!!....that is everything good and SDHC support for my 4GB card is built in. Otherwise here is the SDHC driver for WM.

SDHC Cards? Still none the wiser?

I have searched on here and read the various threads on SDHC cards and I am still none the wiser
In the Wizard Accessories forum there is a 5-page thread about users experiences with what does and doesn't work - the problem is there is contradicting information. I thought I was getting somewhere with later units supporting SDHC and earlier ones not (serial numbers), however half way through the thread someone with an older Wizard says they have it working.....
Are there any difinitive answers to whether 4GB SDHC cards work in the Wizard, and if so does it need to be a G4, does it need to be manufactured after a certain date etc?
I have two Wizards (s/n: SZ602EE0xxxx and HT544EExxxx), both currently with 1GB SD cards (Danelec I think?). I am reluctant to buy any 4GB cards unless I know they are going to work.
Thanks

ok to clarify this, (im going to get flame at least once for this) SDHC cards will only work with devices that have the drivers for SDHC cards. This does not have to do with the hardware but if we cant get the drivers to talk to the hardware there is no support. we have the right hardware but no drivers and if it was a hardware problem then SDHC cards would not be the same as a SD card.
And can someone test that rom (not hopping it works but it might)

The first page of theloon 7.2 ROM kitchen shows it working. I run this ROM, but I dont have a SDHC yet. I'll post there to see if anyone has had success.
Resurect this thread....
I am desperately running out of SD card space and would like to now 'upgrade' to a 4GB (or bigger?) SDHC card. I would like some testemonials of users who have had sucess with SDHC cards and what Wizard version and ROM you are running.
As I said I am reluctant to just buy a SDHC card and see if it works as it will be a waste of money if it doesn't.

count me in
just bought a 2gb sd card for 25€ over here but i need more space ^^
transcend sells the fastest sd mini cards as far as i tested them..
from hardware point of view the wizard device can handle this SDHC cards
as they use the same slot and hardware a usb cardreader has..
its just a matter of drivers or maybe just a registrysetting..
my guess its a combination of a new driver with enhancements for SDHC
and some registrysettings...
knowing windows they probably allready implented it in OS at least in WM6
and it be just a question of finding the right driver with the right settings..
my 4gig sdhc is coming in early next week, then I can test..
keep us informed on how it works please .. if it works that is ^^
Read this! It is only a matter of drivers and reg settings. Someone has created a cab with appropriate drivers and reg entries for testing somewhere on the xda forum.

So you can confirm this works? That's all I want. There are LOTS of varying reports on SDHC cards working & not working. I don't want to buy one and then realise it doesn't work. It's all right posting drivers and links to MS updates but that doesn't confirm anything. I want hard evidence.....

• Support for Video over IP telephony calls
• Support for the Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) and ActiveSync in the VoIP Home Screen and VoIP Contacts applications
• Secure Digital (SD) bus driver that supports SDHC specification 2.00 functionality, such as Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) cards
Support for Extended File Allocation Table (ExFAT) and FAT32 on the x86 BIOS Loader, which provides access beyond 2 gigabytes (GB) of hard disk space.
this is probably the issue with ur 4gb card..
the bios of the wizard wont be able to acces beyond 2gb
but...
now that you have this 4gb card can you do us all a favor ?
here is the thing:
if u have a cardreader that reads the card on the pc just put it in the pc
otherwise put it in the wizard and start wm5torage and connect it as a
non-removable class and write enabled and start the thing and connect it to pc..
when connected goto computer and right click My Computer and choose manage.. in that window goto Disk Managment ..
in there you see this drive which is on the sd card, its shown as a drive
rightclick on the part next to it where it shows the volume on the drive
(it says Healty when correct and the driveletter it got assigned)
choose delete partition
now u have a empty flashdisk
format it in fat16 but.. :-> dont give it a name and set it to 2gb and do not assign a driveletter
now there is a space left of <1gb
format this too fat16 no name, no drive letter, no other stuff but plain format
now if all is correct and these two drives are there you can disconnect it.
unplug the cardreader (with the remove hardwarebutton in systray)
or if u got it in your wizard , shut down pc and take wizard out after it shut down
then release the wm5torage driver and close it and remove card and insert it
back again..
u can check for errors with pocket mechanic professional..
little warning though : do not do this with non branded fake 4gb cards as it
renders it useless probably..( these cards that are 2gb and reformated to hold 4gb)

it will work if someone can port wm6 r2 to the wizard
and i had it work with a 4gb sd mini card which wasnt SDHC
the site i bought it doesnt have them anymore ..
it seems it is an "out of specs" sd card hence there not sold here,
but maybe we can find a store that has these cards..
one more thought is that it maybe read the SDHC card as well if we
keep its volume space to a max of 2gb..
multiple volumes on a storage card works fine on a t-mobile stock rom
not tried it on others..
nevertheless ur right about the part that no-one is willing to buy something that doesnt work hence we need to test and try...
or as i would say :
Plug 'n Pray ©
guys, just wait until Monday or Tuesday, you will get a full report
let's start a poll, which ROM should be used for testing
