recently, my kjam is showing 2 storage card folders, i don't know why but one day i just had it. what would be the cause of this?
my normal mini sd card is shown as storage card 2, and the storage card folder is showing installed app on it (phone skins) plus the temporary internet files folder.
any idea?
I don't know what causes it, but it happened to me once. I took out the card and soft reset it and it was back to normal.
i just did that but no changes happened, i still have the 2 folders (storage card & storage card2)
i there any other solution?
I had same problem when install to autorun application with an internal reference to Storage Card. I suppose autorun appications run before Storage Card device availabity.

Same thing here!
I've got the same problem and I posted under a new thread as I believe this is related to the upgrade of my TMobile UK ROM - did not have the problem before.
this happened to me too , and the folder contained a "my documents" folder
Wierd !
It's not at all weird - just read my article. I explain there how this can happen and how the mess can the cleaned up.
I realised it is because you set your StorageCard as the default message - or temporary internet files store. The problems I usually have when I use ActiveSync and I turn off (or it turns off itself) the PDA.
My method is very simple and works:
Just delete the empty StorageCard folder and after a soft reset everything will be fine.
If you cannot delete, for example because TemporaryInternetFiles are there and index.dat is locked, you have to make a softreset first, and after it you can delete the fault SDCard folder and after another softreset everything will ok.

Hi,
Suddenly i restarted my phone and it created a new Storage Card on the device as a folder. My storage card has now been recalled storage card 2 ? Why would that happen and how to fix it please ? Its annoying cos none of my shortcuts work now as the file path has changed so I'd like it back the normal way.
Thank you
This happened to me. Its actually a quick fix: just remove the memory card, then delete the folder titled "Storage Card" (given there is nothing in that folder, if so, back it up first and put it on the actual memory card), then re-insert the memory card and it should come up as "Storage Card" now.
I think a soft reset works too. happened to me once and I believe thats what I did.
It's happened to me several times.
Don't know why but a delete of the Storage folder and a restart fixed it.
Don't delete the wrong folder ..... check it is empty.

This could happen if you have tweaked your registry settings to store your IE cache in storage card or if some application is using storage card to store application data (for example an RSS reader). When the phone restarts and it is not able to locate the storage card due to some reason (for example timing issues in code), the phone will create a folder by name "Storage Card" in main memory if any application tries to write to storage card. Later when you reinsert your card, it will be named as "Storage Card 2", as there is a folder already by name "Storage Card"
If you dont want to lose any data, instead of deleting, you can just rename "Storage Card" folder created in the main memory.
BTW, I faced the same pblm yesterday. Very annoying when it happens often. I never faced this with my magician.
i had the exact same prob, didnt know why. and it was because i did use the reg tools to tweak that IE cache is stored on stroage card. i did wat u said, just deleted the folder and reinserted the card, also changed the reg key's back cos i cant b arsed with that on every soft reset!
My wm6 fails to recognise my storage card and renamed it "storage card 2" I have to reinstall all my apps and there is no icon under file explorer for the storage card either I have to use the pull down menu to access it.
registry fix needed? any ideas?
if you place another card, it does the same?
You probably changed locations ie temp or mail to storage card. SD card is initializing after some system services. Try back to old settings in registry.
same prob
hello my storage card disapperard from my file explorer too!
i've got a HTC Elf, black & blue WWE Rom on it, default location of ie cache and mail attachments is storage card i think(pre-set by the ROM).
so i didn't change any registry settings, but after some days of use my storage card disappeared...
don't know what to do now, need ur help!
storage card disappearing...
happened with me a few times...
at first thought that the card is corrupted...
a soft reset resolved the issue.
Hello,
yesterday i encounterd a rather starnge problem with my prohet.
My SD Card suddenly appears as Storage Card2 in the PDA, so none of the programs that are installed on it can be run right now.
the data is all still there and also i discovers a folder named "Storage Card" in my Device no matter if the SD card is inserted or not.
inside is a temp folder
inside there a Cache,Cookies and a History folder
in each of those is one file that appears to be connectet to the internet explorer
namely Content.IE5 in cache
index.dat in Cookies
History.IE5 in History
i tryed to delete the complete Storage Card folder with total commander but it faild telling me 3 files could not be deletet.
when the device is connected to the pc via active sync i can see the same folders but when i try to delete them i get an error that they can not be deletet cose of insufficient right, or they could be in use, or not enough space on the disc. or write protection
how can i get rid of those files and get my SD card back as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card2"?
Basically, the "Storage Card" folder would have been created when IE was used but the storage card was not installed. The easy option would be to Hard Reset, however it may be possible to close IE and then remove the storage card folder. After this you'll need to soft reset.
I had the same issue several times when I'm using a miniSD on my himalaya with a adopter. But a soft reset was always enough for me...

the starnge thing is that the sd card is more or less permanentliy inserted in the prophet, i usually just remove it to copy something on it from the pc, and in that time i dont use the pda.
since i have installed opera mini, i dont use IE at all, cant recall when i started that program the last time.
allerady tryed a soft reset and to delete the folders afterwards, but rigth from the start the files are "locked"
and i really want to avoide a hardreset. took me allmost 2 weeks to get the device fine tuned as it is right now, and actually in the 20 months i have this device now its the first time it is running without any problems since about 3 months. before that i allwas needed to make a hardreset every few weeks.
Maybe opera mini is using the same cache as PIE?
I think, it may be possible to change the registry settings for IE cache and storage and then reset and remove the files. I'll check up the registry settings for that...
just delete it
did you change your internet cache to the sd card?
when reset your ppc there wasn't a card inside the sd slot it will prompt the ppc to create an alternative folder for the internet cache.
simply insert the sd card into the slot, soft reset, and when it goes back to windows delete the 'storage card' folder created in your ppc (retaining the storagecard2) , remove the sd, and reinsert it back.
the ppc will now recognize your sd as the 'real storage card'
hope this will work for u...
That won't work as the cache will store into the "Storage Card" folder, adn not "storage Card".
Had a thought! Try renaming the "storage card" folder to storage card2, insert the SD card and then soft reset. then, try and delete the folder that isn't your storage card...
Having an issue with my Wing, hoping someone can help. I had my Wing connected to my PC today, iFonz was the only app running. I wanted to copy some movies to my Wing and I know that copying directly to the microSD is infinitely faster than going through Activesync, so I popped out my card, put it in my reader and copied the movies. When it was done I put the card back in my phone.
So I'm at work today and want to send a text to my brother, hit the SMS button on iFonz, and it crashed. No big deal I thought, I'll just relaunch it, crashes happen. So I relaunch iFonz... nothing... so I try to launch Resco File Explorer... nothing... interesting. So I fire up the normal WM file explorer, it seems my SD card is now called Storage Card2. Storage Card is still shown, but doesn't load anything when selected. So now whenever a lnk is looking for a program on my SD card it doesn't find it.
Any one know a way to fix this? I tried resetting w/ the card in and w/o the card in, same issue. 8*(
I seem to have fixed it. I fired up Resco off the SD card, deleted the Storage Card directory on the Wing, then soft reset. The Wing recognized the SD card as Storage Card again and all is good. 8*)
I've run into this a few times as well. It only happens to me if i left an app running in the background or with certain today modules. I've always had to use the same solution as you did.
I think the cause would be if there is a registry tweak that redirects database directory to the Storage Card and you removed it and did a soft reset, it would actually create a directory automatically even though your SD is not there! And what you would do is pop the SD in again and that would create the Storage Card2 directory.
Fix i think would be, delete the Storage Card directory using Resco Explorer, turn off the phone, insert your SD then turn the phone again.
The only registry tweaks I've done are to change the font colors for the today screen, so that wasn't it (of course an app might have done something).
I don't know the offending application, but something must have wanted to write to the /storage card/ folder on the phone. When the card itself wasn't there it simply created the directory it needed to write the data to. Like I said tho', the simple solution was just to delete the newly created /storage card/ directory, make sure the card is in, soft reset.
How to fix it easily
Okay, just go to file explorer on your phone. You will see storage card2 with the black icon on it and another folder that says storage card. Delete "storage card," and take out your storage card. Then put it back in, and it will just say "Storage Card."

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!
