Hello All,
i have an o2 xda 1 with PPC 2002, i bought a 2 GB SD-card but the xda recognizes only 951 MB. Is there any solution to allow the xda to recognize the 2 GB SD? an upgrade to PPC 2003 can solve the problem?
Thanks for your help

I am just passing on to you what another member passed onto me. It worked to.

Hi,
I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I have brought a Kingston 256mb SD Card and put it into my XDA II but the problem is I dont seem to be able to access it.
Can anyone please help.
Regards
Hm...i think you made a bad choice of using kingston 256 mb sd card. I use the same card as you do...but until now nothing happens with my card. My friend encounters the same problem with you. Maybe your card is defected like my friend's ? He changed to another brand though
you could try formatting it in a sdreader or in the xda using storage tools or pocket mechanics
do you have link for pocket mechanic.
tried doing a search on here but it returns too many unrelated threads.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the link but the program only recognises a 14mb card, which i didnt think i had???? or is that inbuilt into the xda II.
It still doesn't recognise my kingston 256 card.....
Any other suggestions guy!!!!
Try to format the card with a digital camera.
storage is the name of the backup
storagecard is the name of the sd card
if it cant see the storagecard then you can try with storage tool
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
if that also dont want to see the card then you can try formatting with a cam like was said
or maybe the card is just defect
Thanks again Rudegar
Tried that but that also didnt work. Only recognises 16Mb of Extended ROM and 16MB of storage memory.
Like I said before I am new to this and now I also a bit thick. Can you confirm to me the following;
1. XDA II come with 128 MB of memory
2. They come with 16 MB of RROM
3. They also come with 16 MB of memory
I didnt think point 3 was valid.
Anyway i'll just have to try the Kingston 256MB on a camera and see if it works. If that fails, I'll just have to get another one.
Also can anyone connfirm to me that when you put a SD Card into the memory slot at the top does the XDA II automatically recognise it?
Thanks you all for keeping up with my stupidity.
Go to settings
then to system
then memory
then to storage card
and then on the drop down does it show the two mediums
Storage card AND
storage this is normally 14.57 or depending how much you have assinged to it
The storage card is the external medium like by me a 512 gives about 488 free space

I have the same problem. Storage Tools isn't recognizing my card either...
Did you found any solution to this?
Yes. The solution was to replace the card. The card itself was fualty. I now have 1GB Kingmax SD card which works briliantly

In my case by restoring an old sprite backup after the upgrade to Rom 1.72 the access to my SD card was removed; so I reinstalled 1.72 and will not use the old backup anymore.
I've tried all of the above
My XDA II doesn't recognize SD cards..I changed the cards (although working in card reader with my PC), I hard rest the XDA II, re downlaod the new ROM, and nothing happining ..My problem started after downlaoding the new ROM and unlocking my XDAII with the tool in this site!! at the same time I don't know if this is related!! please help meeeeeeeeeeee!!! I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please
Today I received my 2GB Sandisk miniSD card from eCost (they sell it for real cheap so I thought I get one). I formatted it with XP (using its supplied SD placeholder) to FAT32. After I placed it on the PDA it reported the following crazy results:
2 GB storage
960 MB used
970 MBs free
In other words, my Wizard (running the latest AKU2 QTek ROM from ~March 22 2006) sees the full 2GB, but can only use 1 GB!!!
I then tried to format it with XP using FAT16, but the SAME problem occured.
Thankfully, I downloaded this utility: http://pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3191 and I did a "repair" (or format) the miniSD via the PocketPC. THIS utility saved the day! It fromatted the miniSD card correctly! And now I can see and use ALL of the card.
Please note that the problem/bug might not be with XP or the PPC. It might be with the actual SD placeholder, or even the flash reader (hardware bugs). The point is, that somewhere along the way something gets screwed during the formatting. So, if you buy a miniSD 2GB and you get such or other problems, download the StorageTools utility linked above to format (or use "repair") the miniSD card directly in the PocketPC instead of using XP and a SD-placeholder/flash-reader.
BTW, I also posted a review of the QTek 9100 yesterday: http://tuxtops.com/node/749
wow! I'm reading your post and thinking I wrote it! I had the EXACT same problem. I tried another utility (that made my miniSD card unrecognizable to my kjam).....a quick format with my pc, and I was back to only about 1gb of usable space....then i stumbled across storage tools. I ran the repair, and it was fixed! ahhhhh 2gb of space....woohoo!
Same problem, diffrent solution...
I also had the same problem, but found another solution, after trying to reformat, both in ppc and pc and cardreader in printer, card was unreadable by all devices. Therefore, as a last resort, I put the card in my digital camera (nikon s2) wich recogniced the card as unformatted and kindly asked if I would like to format it... after that it worked perfectly
help!!
i got the same problem with my 2G sd card..
i formatted with my PC and now it show only 975mb in my card!!!!!!!!!
i had try to use the StorageTools to repair it via my XDA mini s.. but it still show 975MB.... any idea???
After you used StorageTools to repair the miniSD card, you need to do a soft reset for the PocketPC to recognize the rest of the card.
However, I must tell you, the only clear deal is to FORMAT the card WITH StorageTools and NOT to simply just do a repair.
Hey I have this same problem, but the link to the program is no longer any good. Does anyone know what the name of the application was.
Thanks,
Bought new card
OK- Now I do not know what to do. I just went out and bought a new 2GB scan Disk MiniSD card. When I went to install my data on it, I can only get 1GB on the card. I need 2 GB. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this. I thought the last card was bad, but I guess not. This happens on 8125 and in Windows. Both see the card as 2 GB but will error out when you try to add more than 1 GB.
Please help.
Thanks,
The name is that one: storagetools...
I had the same problem and using just the evaluation version of the program was good enough to format mi sd and everything it's ok!

what is a better format for MiniSD 1G (prob:read/writes slow)
I have a problem with my miniSD card reading and writing WAY too slow.
I think that may have happened when I formated the card as FAT32 partition instead of FAT. This thread seems like it is a helpfull answer, but which would read and write better? Does anyone know?
Thanx in advance.
All,
I have a 2gb Sandisk Mini SD Card in my Qtek 9100 and up until today its been working fine. However my Qtek started to behave strange today and suddenly would connect to my pc via ActiveSynch nor could it read the sd card.
Well in fear of loosing all my stuff on the sd card I tried in other phones, on another pc, in my camera....jsut to save it but I couldnt.
I ended up doing a hard reset of the Qtek since I couldnt solve the ActiveSynch issue and now its up and running.
BUT.....my SD card is only on 1gb now. :-( So what can be done ? Format it....yup but I dont have any program to do it with....
Help help help....the next step is to send the sd card back to the company I bought it from but then I'll have to wait for a new one
Please help
Jakob
Well I have just formattet the storage card with StorageTools and when I have the card in my qtek it shows 1gb
But if I put it in my camera and then connect it to my pc I see 2gb....
i had problems on my card and formated using wm5torage from the desktop...and it is working flawlessly, i suggest to do that...but usually that size problems happen in fake cards...do u filled the card some time or at least passed the 1gb limit?

Hey guys I have also developed a problem with my memory card Sandisk 2 GB. I upgraded my Atom Exec today in the morning to the great WM6 AKU 7a of chartreux after install when I inserted the card my atom did not respond. I tried the card through card reader on my PC and it was working perfectly. Then I tried another 2 GB card of Kingstone (one of my friends) but my Atom Exec did not read it. I flashed the old original ROM from O2 but even then my Atom Exec is not reading the card please Help.
I use a Vodafone branded Trinity with original WM5 and a SanDisk 2 GB miniSD card. The access to the card is very slow. Copying a 751 kb MP3 file from the device to the card takes about 7 minutes time, a backup via Sprite Backup more than 4 hours.
I plan to flash it with Lalle´s WM6.1 German ROM and Radio ROM 1.46. Will this help me solving my problems? What do you think about it? The miniSD was swapped so I think it will be the card slot or card controller.
Help please.

You can try Tweaks2k2.NET or Schaps Config Tool (there's an option in one/both that you can increase the write/read speed of storage card).
Alternatively, you can try WM5torage 1.8/Softick CardExport II 3.08 - both will make your device a 'USB Mass Storage' device, which will definately result in a high read/write throughput. I hope it helps you.
