Help! I want to acces my storage card and I don't know how. When I am in the memory tab and then click on storage card it says: Total storage card memory" Not installed. What does that mean? Have I done something wrong? Any advice for a novice will be much appreciated.
Is it a new card (You haven't used it)? or have you ever previously used it? in any case if you have a card reader handy check it on your computer, or you can download pocket mechanic and run the format tool if the problem is the card not being formated properly. Piece of advice your better off doing it from a card reader on your pc cause your pretty limited to what you can do to fix the card on your device.

Try using a p[rogram to format the SD Card.
It will work then
Cheers
Try Flash Format (www.cnetx.com), its a great program that deals with Storage Cards.
It can also verify your SD Card!
you can also restore your files from the damaged SD card using undelte software & a SD card reader :wink:

My Jam can't read my card!!
The information can be found, and the files/folders inside of the SD can be found..But it doesn't show up..I need to go to the finding thing and then it comes up as a list..Not a folder saying "SD"..
Anybody have a clue why it does that?
I've seen this problem before with a Ridata 1GB SD card. The data and structure on the card become corrupt. I've been able to fix this by backing up whatever is on the card (whatever is salvagable) and then doing a reformat of the card. If it won't let you reformat on the ppc, try doing it first on a regular pc with an SD card slot.

Hmm..Good idea, thanks.

you can use your pc to reformat a card [if you have a card reader]

I use a 256mb sd card in my phone but yesterday i purchased a 1 gb sd card. How can i get all of my information from one card to the other so i can use the 1gb card? I have tried doing it through my computer because it has an SD slot but I get some type of error that prevents me from doing so. Is there some program that i can use or what to do this???
Thanks in advance
We're only going to be able to help you if you're more specific than "some kind of error"

I have to agree with Izz. but you might try leaving the card in the phone and using the "explore my phone" option in ActiveSync to copy the info you want to your computer. Stick the new card in your phone and move the info back.
--M
Put WM5torage on your phone and the SD card will then look like a thumbdrive to your computer. You can then copy stuff around without activesync getting involved (which seems to have issues with large amounts of data transfer).
Inserted my 8GB SD card and the phone isn't reading it. It did then I did a format and now it's not reading it.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Wait, so let me get this straight...
Obviously... as you stated, the storage card wasn't being read by your device prior to your decision to format it, correct?
So, why the unnecessary formatting then...? Be sure that your SD CARD is able to be detected on a desktop PC or laptop. If so, check the SD CARD original format. Make sure it's FAT32. And did you format your card via Apple or a standard PC?
It was working fine on my previous phone. It had few stuff on it so I decided to format it. Then after the format HD2 won't read it. When I plug in the phone it to the computer it would usually read the media card, but in this case it doesn't.
Ok I happened to figure it out. I end up doing a format on the phone and that brought my SD card back to life.
stop reading my sd card

SD cards are notorious for being "wiped" by mishandling them. If I had a dollar for every SD card I lost because I removed it from a PC without ejecting it first, I'd have enough for a Happy Meal at least.
It looks like your install of Total Commander wiped your card. If you have a way of testing it, check to see if it says "0b available". If so, it's junk.
These cards allow unlimited reads, but only about 1,000 writes to a block. They purposefully design them to hide blocks until one goes bad, then a new one comes up, but that is a limited "fix". Not sure I understand it all myself.
This is one reason why it is a bad idea to install a program to the SD card. As the program runs, it may write runtime data to the card, things like logs and such, this reduces the lifetime of the card drastically.
Is there any known fix for this? I've been searching over the forums, but no definitive answer. It was working before, it had some sync program installed on it?? (it came with it when i bought it).
I reformat the card and now it doesn't show up on the phone. I'm trying to get in contact with the original owner and hopefully he has a fix.

When you say you reformatted the card, what was the method you used?
What file system did you use when you formatted the card?
What size card is it?
Did you add any partitions to the card?
Can you add/remove files from the card when you have it plugged into a Windows PC?
Can you "see" the card when you have it inserted into the phone without the phone being connected to the PC?
