Hi,
Suddenly i restarted my phone and it created a new Storage Card on the device as a folder. My storage card has now been recalled storage card 2 ? Why would that happen and how to fix it please ? Its annoying cos none of my shortcuts work now as the file path has changed so I'd like it back the normal way.
Thank you
This happened to me. Its actually a quick fix: just remove the memory card, then delete the folder titled "Storage Card" (given there is nothing in that folder, if so, back it up first and put it on the actual memory card), then re-insert the memory card and it should come up as "Storage Card" now.
I think a soft reset works too. happened to me once and I believe thats what I did.
It's happened to me several times.
Don't know why but a delete of the Storage folder and a restart fixed it.
Don't delete the wrong folder ..... check it is empty.

This could happen if you have tweaked your registry settings to store your IE cache in storage card or if some application is using storage card to store application data (for example an RSS reader). When the phone restarts and it is not able to locate the storage card due to some reason (for example timing issues in code), the phone will create a folder by name "Storage Card" in main memory if any application tries to write to storage card. Later when you reinsert your card, it will be named as "Storage Card 2", as there is a folder already by name "Storage Card"
If you dont want to lose any data, instead of deleting, you can just rename "Storage Card" folder created in the main memory.
BTW, I faced the same pblm yesterday. Very annoying when it happens often. I never faced this with my magician.
i had the exact same prob, didnt know why. and it was because i did use the reg tools to tweak that IE cache is stored on stroage card. i did wat u said, just deleted the folder and reinserted the card, also changed the reg key's back cos i cant b arsed with that on every soft reset!

recently, my kjam is showing 2 storage card folders, i don't know why but one day i just had it. what would be the cause of this?
my normal mini sd card is shown as storage card 2, and the storage card folder is showing installed app on it (phone skins) plus the temporary internet files folder.
any idea?
I don't know what causes it, but it happened to me once. I took out the card and soft reset it and it was back to normal.
i just did that but no changes happened, i still have the 2 folders (storage card & storage card2)
i there any other solution?
I had same problem when install to autorun application with an internal reference to Storage Card. I suppose autorun appications run before Storage Card device availabity.

Same thing here!
I've got the same problem and I posted under a new thread as I believe this is related to the upgrade of my TMobile UK ROM - did not have the problem before.
this happened to me too , and the folder contained a "my documents" folder
Wierd !
It's not at all weird - just read my article. I explain there how this can happen and how the mess can the cleaned up.
I realised it is because you set your StorageCard as the default message - or temporary internet files store. The problems I usually have when I use ActiveSync and I turn off (or it turns off itself) the PDA.
My method is very simple and works:
Just delete the empty StorageCard folder and after a soft reset everything will be fine.
If you cannot delete, for example because TemporaryInternetFiles are there and index.dat is locked, you have to make a softreset first, and after it you can delete the fault SDCard folder and after another softreset everything will ok.
Hello,
yesterday i encounterd a rather starnge problem with my prohet.
My SD Card suddenly appears as Storage Card2 in the PDA, so none of the programs that are installed on it can be run right now.
the data is all still there and also i discovers a folder named "Storage Card" in my Device no matter if the SD card is inserted or not.
inside is a temp folder
inside there a Cache,Cookies and a History folder
in each of those is one file that appears to be connectet to the internet explorer
namely Content.IE5 in cache
index.dat in Cookies
History.IE5 in History
i tryed to delete the complete Storage Card folder with total commander but it faild telling me 3 files could not be deletet.
when the device is connected to the pc via active sync i can see the same folders but when i try to delete them i get an error that they can not be deletet cose of insufficient right, or they could be in use, or not enough space on the disc. or write protection
how can i get rid of those files and get my SD card back as "Storage Card" instead of "Storage Card2"?
Basically, the "Storage Card" folder would have been created when IE was used but the storage card was not installed. The easy option would be to Hard Reset, however it may be possible to close IE and then remove the storage card folder. After this you'll need to soft reset.
I had the same issue several times when I'm using a miniSD on my himalaya with a adopter. But a soft reset was always enough for me...

the starnge thing is that the sd card is more or less permanentliy inserted in the prophet, i usually just remove it to copy something on it from the pc, and in that time i dont use the pda.
since i have installed opera mini, i dont use IE at all, cant recall when i started that program the last time.
allerady tryed a soft reset and to delete the folders afterwards, but rigth from the start the files are "locked"
and i really want to avoide a hardreset. took me allmost 2 weeks to get the device fine tuned as it is right now, and actually in the 20 months i have this device now its the first time it is running without any problems since about 3 months. before that i allwas needed to make a hardreset every few weeks.
Maybe opera mini is using the same cache as PIE?
I think, it may be possible to change the registry settings for IE cache and storage and then reset and remove the files. I'll check up the registry settings for that...
just delete it
did you change your internet cache to the sd card?
when reset your ppc there wasn't a card inside the sd slot it will prompt the ppc to create an alternative folder for the internet cache.
simply insert the sd card into the slot, soft reset, and when it goes back to windows delete the 'storage card' folder created in your ppc (retaining the storagecard2) , remove the sd, and reinsert it back.
the ppc will now recognize your sd as the 'real storage card'
hope this will work for u...
That won't work as the cache will store into the "Storage Card" folder, adn not "storage Card".
Had a thought! Try renaming the "storage card" folder to storage card2, insert the SD card and then soft reset. then, try and delete the folder that isn't your storage card...
A strange thing happened - my memory card changed its name from Storage Card to Storage Card2 - now my progs dont work!
Anyone know how to change it back?
i had that happen to me once, i took the memory card, and deleted the folder called storage card from file explorer and then reinserted the memory card again. You might need to soft reset afterwards
Some program likely tried to write to the card while it was out.
Take your card out
Delete the remaining "Storage Card" folder
Reinsert the card.
Did you try and move the inbox to the memory card?
Have a look at these threads

didnt do anything, think it tried to do something when it was connected to the computer as a storage device.
All sorted now, many thanks.
No idea how this happened but yesterday my memory card is now showing as Storage Card2 instead of Storage Card, and none of the links/shortcuts to stuff on it work any more as a result.
Also, the default albums that show for my camera etc have changed as a result. Very annoying.
I'm not aware of changing anything so I must have done it by accident somehow. Any ideas how, or if I can undo it somehow and revert it back to how it was before?
Thanks!
Forgot to say, I haven't removed the card or anything like that.

Remove card, delete whichever "storage card" folder is left, reinsert card.
That's done it! Thanks mate
I think i know why this hapens (i just happened to me today)
when you conect your device to PC and set to transfer files, the SD card becomes available in the PC and inavailable in the HTC device, so if a program wants to save something in the "storage card" folder, the folder isn't there, so another folder is created.. and then when you desconect the devive the storage card see that there is already a "storage card" folder an creates the "storage card2" folder...
sorry for the crappy english =]
yes and now my card has called itself "Storage Card3" ;/
Hi all
I used sktools to move and store my e-mails in storage card. on each start up, hd2 renames my storage card as "storage card 2" and creates a folder named "storage card" on device. I can rename or erase it but I can not do this on every start up.
Is this because my storage card is slow?
Any advice please?
mine used to do this also, i got bored of removing the sotrage card 2 folder so just left it, annoying being there but doesnt cause me any probs, everythiung still goes onto the actual SD card. prob has stopped now since doing a hard re set a few days back, so not sure what causes it. if i get again ill prob just ignore.
but doesn't it rename existing storage card as #2 and create "storage card" on device. then the e-mails will be still kept on the device.
yeah it does rename the actual storage card as storage card 2. never tried to get emails etc saved onto it though so not sure about that.

I am going to guess that either at one time, you removed your storage card while the phone was on, or you had issues with your storage card ...
You should find a file in your device memory named "Storage Card" rename it to something like "Storage Card3" and Reset your device as soon as you rename it ...
then it should be back to normal, when you restart, then you should be able to remove "Storage Card3" ...
Hope it helps
it is about sktools. on each reset sktools creates a new storage card and also renames real storage card as storage card2.
I am able to rename them to normal. but I can not do it each time. I am looking for a way to avoid sktools doing this.
this is not SKTools create folder.
In your startup loaded poutlook.exe. But this time OS has not yet been initialized your card. So messaging program cannot find path and will create folder Storage Card. After this OS end initializing card, but name "Storage Card" already used and OS will set for card name "Storage Card2". This is common problem.
Try delete poutlook.exe and tmail.exe from startup.
If this not help - wait new ROM update. Maybe they fix it ( i not believe).
Thanks for the comments.
Any other program to let outlook write the email bodies and attachments to Storage card?
