Hey! I love the forum!
Anyway, about three days ago, my Wizard just decided to stop recognizing my MiniSD card. My computer can still recognize/read/write/etc. to the SD card, however.
Here is my Device Info:
Rom Version: 3.3.0.0 WWE
Rom Date: 11/10/06
Radio Version: 02.25.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.12
ExtROM Version: Faria V4.0
When I insert the SD card, the backlight comes on, so I know the Wizard knows it is there, but when I go to the Memory Settings, and I click on the Storage Card tab, it says it is not installed.
Thanks in advance!
Check in the File Explorer.
I have had the the Storage Card listed as Storage Card and another as Storage Card2 at the same time.
The Storage Card is a temporary folder and the real storage card is Storage Card2.
Delete Storage Card, reset and Storage Card2 becomes Storage Card and all should be well.
DO CHECK THE CONTENTS OF EACH STORAGE CARD FOLDER IF THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DELETE THE RIGHT ONE.
If this is not the case, sorry can't offer any other answer.
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately that did not work.
This is really confusing me now.
As a last resort, you could format the card, then remove the partition and let the phone try to format the card. Of course, you would loose everything in your card. I had a problem with the phone not recognizing a card that I formatted with my laptop. But there differences for your situation is that your card was working and when you stick the card in, the phone gives some indication that it knows the card is in there. For me, the phone gave no indication that a card was inserted. Like I said, this would be a last resort.
That's what my 1gb sandisk did. one day it just disappeared. if I popped it in my lappy, it read it fine. So I copied the contentd to the desktop, reformated and copied back, life was back to normal.
Thanks for the help! Reformatting did the trick
*Loves this forum*
Reformatting didn't work for me...
Hi folks... i have the same issue described above... and i did reformat my sd... but it stil doesn't work... i tried to format with fat32 and fat.... no one solved the problem. My laptop can read the card without problems... but my wizard... no signal. Any help? thanks
Should be formatted as FAT, not FAT32.
Do a scan-disk on the card and look for bad sectors. Try to repair or disable the bad sectors, and you'll get some more time on that SD card, but once the sectors start going bad, your SD card's days are numbered, and it's a small number.
Nothing yet...
Thanks for the tips, but it's stil not working... i flashed a WM5 ROM, and it recognized my microSD again... but a few soft resets later... and it's gone. Now i'm using AMP v.2, i flashed it just today, and there is no signal of any Memory card instaled... (by the way, i did format it into fat32 and made a scandisk...) Any other idea? Thanks in advance.
Did you try to let the phone format the card? When I let my laptop format the card, I could not read it in my phone. When I formatted the card in my phone, then I couldn't read it on my laptop. Weird, but true.
A way to make it work...
Well... i think i found a way to make my wizard see the SD card... but it's deffinitely not a pleasant way... Every time i hard reset my wizard, it comes back recognizing my SD... but then i have to instal everything again... About the last topic, i'm not an expert here... how can i format my sd from the pda? (hum... i think i already said... but there goes again: I'm using a G4 with AMPv.2) Thanks one more time...
Update...
A couple of soft resets... and the SD is gone again...
My wizard won't read the SD either. I formatted, disk checked and still nothing..
Whats funny is that on WM5 it worked great, once i upgraded to WM6.1,,, crapped out.
any suggestions?
thanks
Big problem...
Hello guys! It looks like sd loss is a real problem even with other devices... i did read a lot of pages about this issue, but til now i didn't find any solution that worked for me. Anyway, here goes some ideas, if it works for someone, please tell me!
Make a registry change: hklm>>>drivers>>>SDclass>>>disablepowermanagement: 0. (change this for 1, soft reset and try again...)
Any other idea? please guys, I have to make it work! My wizard is almost useless without the SD card... Thanks.
How to format it in the phone? I even cannot find a SD. Shall I start Wizard or what?
I've run into problems configuring Outlook to store attachments on my storage card, rather than internal memory, with certain ROMs. The error is, "No unlocked storage card detected. Make sure an unlocked storage card is inserted and try again."
If the same thing is happening to you, I have a fix posted on my blog, http://www.expta.com/2008/01/fix-for-problem-storing-email.html
Hope it helps!

Hi
Very strange problem!
I recently upgraded to a 2mb minisd as my Trinity currently only has a 512mb card installed.
I copied everything from my current card to a folder on my pc, then copied everything from there to the new card. Both cards have no label and are formatted in FAT.
However, when I put the new minisd card in, all programs installed on the card no longer work as the phone lists the new card as 'storage card2'.
What's worse is that when I put my old card back in, that is now also storage card 2!
I tried a soft reset but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt.
Sorted! Restored a recent backup and now it likes the new card!
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.
Hi there, all of a sudden my storage card has decided to rename itself from storage card to storage card2, and with this all my programs that where intalled on the original storage card have stopped working. How can i change this back as my file system now shows 2 storage cards(default new storage card and my old one that has been renamed storage card2), i hope this makes sense and there is a work round to this, i have tried pulling out the storage card but this didn't work please help as this is really annoying
More people have experienced this and there's a solution. Use the search function and you will find.
Yeah i have just looked at the search facilaty and it all seems a bit complicated all i want is for someone to give me a brief and easy solution please
1 take out the card
2 rename the folder 'storage card' to something else,
3 reboot
4 insert sd card and your card will be correctly named again.
its caused because the system is looking for a folder on 'storage card' before the system has finished mounting the actual storage card,. so it creates a folder instead.

Excellent! Worked for me too!
This problem of disappearing Storage Card / Storage Card2 keeps appearing frequently on my WM6.1 Samsung device. Everytime doing the manual process is troublesome. Is there any way to get rid of this problem permanently or in automated way?
