when i made a rom backup on the minisd-card my xda mini s will not recognize the card again. is there a possibility to format the card without having a pc (no adapter from minisd to sd)
Same problem here afte using wiz backup. Some of the tools here don't seem to work but for a few devices with fingers crossed. I thought my Wizard was the issue but tried my card on PC and still cannot format it. It was working fine before I used the Wizbackup to backup my rom

Try this!
hello. If you are trying to format your sd card with window xp or windows XX. you will never use your sd card in any camera, pocket pc, palm again.
If your computer can not format your sd card, there are 2 possibilities:
1. Your memory chip is damaged
2. You can try to creat boot image using XDA tool and put it in to your XDA. Finally create a boot image. Now. Romve the sd card and plug it in the XDA again, your XDA will ask you to format it. IF not, your memory chip is damaged. Good luck!
i had issues with not being able to format my sd card under winXP

Thanks but that's not what I means.
In my case, when I format the SD card (quick format) by the laptop, it works with only the laptop. When I format the SD card (quick format) by my pocket PC, it works with only my pocket PC.
The SD card works pretty well separately on each device.
The 2 devices cannot use the same fomarted SD card.
That's the problem.
use pocket mechanics to see what the xda format the sd card to fat32 fat16 or ???
see what the laptop format the card to fat32 or fat16 or NTFS
the xda cant real ntfs at all
and some sd readers have problems with fat16 or 32 i forget

..but it's still in trouble
I've just purchased a 4 gb SD card thru ebay, which works fine with my PC, but my Jamin (I've got the latest ROM installed) does not seem to recognize it, wont even show up in file explorer. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks...
I have an 4Gb that work fine with my JAMin but not work fine in my USB Card Reader. Sorry.
Try to reformat the SD card on the PC. I have a-data 4gb, works like a charm, after formating on PC.
Just tried to reformat, but now my pc does not recognize the card...shows an sd card in "my computer", but will not open. Any other thoughts, or did I Just get a bad card?
Thanks again!
Well if it shows up on my computer, but does not open, you should still be able to format it. Right-click and format again using FAT32 full format.
Beyond that I really do not know what could be the issue.
If you have an SD card reader, insert it into your pc and insert the 4Gb SD card.
Then reboot your pc unto the Windows XP setup cd, and choose to install Windows XP on the SD card (should be recognisable). Create a 4Gb (full) FAT32 partition on the SD card. Then just reset to get out, boot normally, and format from Windows.
I found that this method works everytime.
Hi all,
I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago
File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.
I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.
I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.
When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'
I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.
I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried cleaning the contacts of the SD card? Try soft resetting with the SD card in it.
Hi thanks for replying.
Yes I have cleaned the contacts of the SD card and also tried many soft resets with the card in and also with the card out.

Hello,
Try formatting your card with a different reader or from a Nikia phone.
Regards
Carty..
I have tried formating the card in several card readers. Still not being recognised is file explorer. Again, the card does work in any other device I put it in - just not my mini
Anyhow, I'll just use a different card for now. Just wondered if any other people had the same issue as I do.
Thanks all.
for me the same **** happened with my new, exchanged, mdac. using the sd card with the previous machine was no problem, now the card is not being recognized at all. using it in notebook, camera ... no problem.
any ideas?
i dont want to start another thread but im having the exact same problem with my MDA Compact II. I have a 1gb Toshiba SD card that wont even work in the MDA but it works fine on my camera and PC. So I would like ot know if there is a solution to this
Thanks
Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing the same issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.
How do you format a mini SD card using storage tools corectly?
I thought you had to format it to fat16 but everytime i do my MDA crashes when transfering files from the PC to it.
Thanks
Scotty
Is your card SDHC?
nope its a one gb and it was working fine but it stopped working all of a sudden
I have a 2Gb SD card on my Himilaya. I can see the card in program files-my device but cannot see any options. Do I need to format the card before using it ? if so can I do this on the PC ? or does it have to be connected via USB with the card in the device?
Can I dragndrop files onto the card on my PC using a USB reader ? or do I need to create some sort of folder root ?
