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.

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.

Hi,
I'm using MDA Vario (HTC wizard). I bought 2 Gig storage card. At the first time, my MDA was able to recognize my 2 Gig mini SD. Then I put the card on the card reader on my Laptop in order to copy some file. There was a comment on the dialog box in my laptop that my 2 Gig mini SD has not been formated and the dialog box offered me to format it. Then I clicked yes to proceed the formatting process.
Unfortunatelly, after I format my 2 Gig mini SD using my laptop; My 2 Gig mini SD could not be recognized by my MDA, but my laptop is still able to recognize my 2 Gig mini SD card.
Up to the present I have not been able to use my 2 Gig mini SD on my Wizard since I format it using my Laptop.
I also has formated my 128MB and 256MB mini SD cards using the same laptop and it works on my MDA.
Could you please help me to fix the problem?
regards,
Stones
try to re-format in your PC using FAT (not FAT32 or NTFS).
then the card should work in your PocketPC
My XP only gave FAT32 option for this mini SD. Tried to do that manually throgh DOS format and set the file sistem to FAT16, but still couldn't format it using FAT16.

I bought a 2 gig card with no problems

google up programs for formatting memory cards on the actual device and set it to the right format...if the program doesn't recognize the card, then you are in the same boat as I am
most likely cause is that you laptop cardreader is not capable of recognizig 2gb sd cards properly.
Therefore the laptop thinks the card is not formatted.
by formatting it you wreck the card (most likely not destructive)
Try to format the sd card in the wizard or another cardreader.

I have a 2GB Sandisk in my Cingular 8125 and haven't had any problems with the card. I've had some problems with the phone, but not the card.
You should return/exchange it.
Fairly common prob with the 2gb cards,esp the sandisk - try formating the card fat16 on your device, with storage tools or sktools (google both) demos will format your card.
Hello,
I have a new TD2. Can you help me to understand about how do I format the SD card in my TD2?
I put the card into my notebook and formatted (FAT32) is there.
Works perfectly with my TD2.

Connect to PC - Connect as Disk Drive. And now you get your SD as a drive letter to do what ever you want.

Perhaps try putting into a USB card reader or SD card adapter, then try seeing if the computer recognizes it.

Yeah get yourself a SD card adaptor to put your SD card in and then put it in the SD card slot on your computer, or if you do not have one get a USB SD card reader to put the adaptor in. They will run you something like 8 to 10th dollars USD for both to get them.
Also your card is like this bot because you erased the MBR on your SD card. It is because on the first boot of WP7 it formats your memory card with a RAID format so it can use your SD card as internal memory. You have to do a low level format of the card to remove it. Once the low level format is done you will have to do a full format of it again with Fat32
This is for others that well read this, if you flash a WP7 ROM and it boots up but you so not like it or it does not work right. Do not, I repeat do not try flashing the ROM again or try flashing another WP7 ROM before doin the low level format and then a Fat32 format on your SD card. If you do you will probably end up with a trashed SD card.
Thanks i will try that..
No, i cant do nothing... i try with a external sdcard reader over usb and the sdformater just stops working when i start or do a refresh. i try with others sd cards and the new sdcard reader works good...
Any more ideas?
