Hello,
I have a 512mb Sandisk, it was working fine however today i popped a new album on it.
I then inserted it into my phone and its not getting recognised, so i pop it back in the pc and all i am getting is a 'auto play' (search like, scroll) and it does nothing, stops and starts autoplay
so i have turned autoplay off and no luck, how can i some how get the card to either work, or format to then reload the tunes and work?
Anyone?

Is there any way to use my phone as a "memory stick" without having to install sw drivers on a foreign PC.
I just want to plug-in the Wizard (with usb), have the PC to recognize extra RAM (mini SD) and be able to download files - just like a standard memory stick without installing drivers or active sync.
regards
Ulrik
Yes Tou can.
Install Card Export Pro.
Just keep in mind to switch from active sync to Card Export Pro if your device is not connected to your pc.
Any freeware out there, too??
Greetings,
Andreas
I don't have my Wizard yet (hopefully tomorrow). However, with my XDA 1, I just popped the SD card out & put it into a USB memory card reader like this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-MS-Pro-...590924641QQcategoryZ50526QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Works great, and less than $10.00 U.S.
Hope that helps,

Where do I get Card Export Pro? I can't find it on any English websites :S
Try this http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
I could get it to switch to 'usb mass storage device' only after soft reseting my wizard, then it would refuse to switch modes and i would have to reboot again.
Maybe one to keep an eye on as they seem to be working hard to get it to function correctly with the wizard. I will keep testing and keep you posted. As this s/w adds a great feature.
Has anyone got it working properly?
John
I downloaded the software and it works fine on my QTEK9100 - i'm still in the 21 days trial period. I'll do some more testing with loadind/unloading files. So far the turning on/off card works fine. I did a software reset as stated....
Hey guys,
I have a 2 GB mini SD that was acting up, so I went to format it and everything went smoothly until I realized that my card reader only supported 1 GB cards.
So now I have half of my card sitting around being wasted.
What card readers/work arounds do you guys use? Any generic drivers I could use to enable 2 gb fuctions from my reader?
Can't you just transfer items through your Wizard?
--edit--
Nvm, reread your post ^^;;
Anyway, what brand 2gb is it?
Yes, tell us the brand of card and the card reader. I thought most modern card readers would be capable of reading 2, 4 or even greater size cards.
Although it may be cheaper just to get a new card reader, try the attached utililty first.
My brand new Belkin Media Reader wouldn't read a 2GB card, but a cheapo 6-in1 media reader from Jessps (UK store) works fine.
Try using Pocket Mechanic on the Wizard, or pick up a Iogear GFR201SDM (a usb thumb drive you can stick a MiniSD card into) at your local CompUSA -- it'll set you back about $10.00.

This program allows you to swith between activesync mode and card export mode. When in card export and you plug your device into a pc via usb it detects it as a "USB Mass Storage". So it makes your wizard's storage card like one of those USB Jumpdisks. Thats what i used last a couple of days ago when my card got corrupted and had to reformat.
I tried this software but in the windows device manager , the USB mass storage device appears with a "!" ... in the device detais an error message appears "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" ... have any idea about this ???
Hi there,
I bought a 2Gb Mini SD memory adaptor from 7dayshop last week, which arrived today.
I've just put it into my phone, and it isn't seeing it. Windows is seeing it. I've formatted it to FAT, and FAT32 within Windows, and the phone still doesn't see it.
I've downloaded the "Storage Tools" application to see if that helps, but I'm not getting anything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jon "The Nice Guy"

I bought a 2GB mini SD from 7dayshop and havent had any problems at all with it (worked without requiring formatting).
Works on my EXEC, mini S and PC.

is this the one you ordered?

Yehr, that's the one. I've contacted their tech support and they're sending me a returns label.

Jon
Make SURE you format the card with the "StorageTools" utility for PocketPC. DO NOT format the card with Windows.
hmmm, i don't know if it helps, but i ended up formating my 2gig (sandisk) in my camera (kodak easyshare v530). i suppose i should have thought of the phone having the format feature... the sd card adapter got stuck in the camera, and it took a pair of pliers to get the adapter out... i didn't really need the sd slot to be spring loaded anyway...
It wouldn't even recognise it as being a valid volume - so I couldn't
I did try and read it with the phone first, which didn't work, then found it worked with Windows (in a card reader), then put it back in the phone (didn't work), then back in the PC (worked), put in a friends phone (worked, then didn't), then back in my phone (didn't work), then back in his phone (didn't)... the only consistant thing was that the PC recognised it
Hey Jon, I TOLD YOU to format the card with STorageTools. The 2GB MiniSD problem is a known bug. You have to format the card in the PocketPC.
Can I get it formatted on another phone which will run Storage Tools?
I'd already started to use it on the PC prior to putting it in the phone.
I went out and bought a 2 gig mini sd card hoping to use it on my mda. when I put it in it seemed to work fine and I put some music on it and was listening to it. The next day I decided to put alot more music onto it and in the middle of transferring the music I had tried one of the songs and it worked fine.
Right when it finished I checked my phone and I couldnt see any of the files. It did say that there was a memory card in and that there was memory used on it but I could not see any files. I did a soft reset and when it was back up it said that I needed to format the card, so I did. Because everything was deleted I tried to load more music back on and it didn't let me because of some access violation.
When I went back to my phone I couldnt see the memory card at all. I did a few resets and took the thing out and it still wouldn't show up. I searched the forums and I found people with similar problems but no answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Happen to me
I bought the 1GB Sandisk MiniSD card and it worked for about 3 months...just before a long vacation I was dumping many MP3s to the card and....BOOM....the card disappeared from the phone...
Better yet the card wouldnt even recognize in my desktop pc (with the adapter of course). I actually had to exchange the card for it to work again.
thank you for your help! just to be sure I understand, you do not think its a problem with my wizard?

Today I noticed that the 2GB SD card in my Wizard is not being detected at all. So I tried re-flashing it, and there was no change.
On the About screen, it says "Expansion slot: In use", I'm not sure if this refers to the SD card slot or not. In the Memory screen, it says that there is no SD card installed. If the backlight is off, and I put the SD card in, the backlight will suddenly turn on.
Unfortunately, I don't have a miniSD card reader to see if my computer can pick it up. But is there anything I could try to get the Wizard to read the SD card, before I go out and buy a new one?
did you figure this out? i have the same issue
miniSD card woes
Fellas,
Since one of you mentioned that you don't have an external miniSD reader for your PC, I would recommend trying out Pocket Mechanic Professional. This PPC software will diagnose/format your miniSD cards in your phone.
One very important notice...make sure that your phone doesn't go to sleep while Pocket Mechanic Pro is formatting your miniSD card. If this happens, then the only way to revive your miniSD card would be to format it using your PC...trust me, I learned the hard way.
By the way...this software is not freeware, but I believe you can use the trial for 30 days or so.
Good luck!

Same Problem
I had the same problem, my 2gb sandisk would not read on my cingular 8125 OR my computer... So I called Sandisk and told them what was going on. They ask you to do a ton of different things with you computer and your phone... At the end of it all they said they would send me a new one. I was very excited because I did not register it and I did not have any of the paper work. They have a kick butt customer service hot line
Same Prob. part 2
I forgot to add once I got the new card everything worked just fine.
