I just got myself a 2gb SD card for my JAMin. I want to copy wikipedia file which is 1gb in size, when I drag the file into my storage from my PC it seems to take forever and not actually copy??
also what is the most efficient format method for 2gb sd card? fat 16 32k?
Yes copying via Pocket PC and computer will take long I would advise investing in a USB 2.0 card reader. (Fat32.)
Or you can use your Prophet as a card reader by using CardExport II or a free app called WM5torage 1.53.CAB attached below.

my xda2 won't detect my sd 256mb storage card. It did for a while but now seems to have stopped. It will still detect my 128mb storage card. Why won't it work? It recognises that the expnasion slot is in use so how come the storage card can't be seen. There is no file to view in file explorer and again when synched it doesn't appear on the screen of my pc. But if I swop and put the 128mb card in that card appears. Weird?
No it is not weird! I think your 256 MB SD card is fried. To unsure it is not try accessing it on PC with a card reader.
Have had the same problem twice with a 256 MB SD card from sandisk.

Thanks, but what does 'fried' mean. It worked for a while. Are you suggesting it's overheated?
fried mean that it's dead, not going to work ever again,
broken .......
sometimes eletronics just die for no reason
to be sure you can try it in a sdcard reader for pc
or you can try storage tools or pocket mechanics
and see if you can format the card using them
or if some of their options can detect the card
Sorry but I don't have or know anyone with a card reader for these small cards. I'll just have to buy another card.
Which is faster to transfer files to an SD Card?
1)
Via cable mounting the SD card as a drive.
Via resco and Wifi
Or a card reader.
2)
Is there a way to disable recent progs on the menu? Just bugs me
3)
Thanks
1. Card reader (USB2)
2. Dunno
3. No worries. Sorry I couldn't answer (2).

check this site out fella:

They do a util that turns your device into a Mass Storage SDCard reader.. much faster than activesync AND you dont have to remove your SD.
THANKS
Can now noumt my the phone as a mass storage device good good. before i buy a use 2 card reader would the speed diff be much different between the cable and reader?
I didn't notice a difference between using my card reader and using the ppc directly with this util.
I copied around 700mb to it and it didn't take too long atall, theres a 21day tril on the website give it a go
I just bought a 2gb sandisk sd card
it is recognised by the magician but each time it switchs to stand by mode the "memory card" file disappears...So I have to take it out and to insert it again (two times) in order to see it again.
Is it normal ? or there's a problem with this card ?
thanks
:shock:

Good to read, Storage to the people!
Take a look @ the card params too. Somehow a magician communicates better with a fat(16) card than fat32.
Have fun, M
thanks for your comment...
I can only format the sd card with the magician because i don't have a sd card reader for my PC. But with the program I use (FORMAT) I cannot choose FAT 16 or 32 - do you know a soft to do this ?
PHM Pocket Mechanic is very good for this, available on trial
I just received my Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card and it's working fine with my S100 (1.12) and I didn't have to format it when I received it.
However I have just come upon a problem. The card works fine in my S100 and I can copy files to it via ActiveSync. In order to speed things up I just tried putting it in the card reader in my laptop which reported it as unformatted...
Got the Sandisk Ultra 2 2GB for my M500 and it works fine in the phone , my card reader however does not like it either.
However i have sd-cf adapter that i use with my camera , i sloted the sd card in to that and in to the card reader and it works fine at very high speed.
Hope that helps.

Laptop doesn't have CF and I'm reluctant to allow it to format the card in case I suddenly have issues reading it in my S100. :/
hi, i ran a benchmark in my 512mb SD card (unknown brand - missing logo) with pocket mechanic and the results are: Read 5.1X and Write 0.6X. Is it bad?
ok my card reader on my laptop and my S100 must talk a different dialect of SD card because no matter what I do they can't work together.
If I format the card in my S100 and copy files via activesync the laptop reports the card as unformatted.
If I format the card in my laptop and copy files on my pocketpc can't see them.
Size doesn't fit to 2GB Card
Hi I just got my sandisk ultra II 2GB SD Card and at first it worked fine.
Magician recognized it as 2GB then i copied some files from my computer with my SD Card Reader. But after inserting the card into my magician i got some weird looking characters, files, and folders. So I inserted it again in my SD card reader and formatted the card. After that my pc and my magician doesn't recognise the card as 2GB anymore just 1GB .

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.
mini sd
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.
Hi, I want to format my 1GB microSD card i've looked at the installed software on the TyTn but I can't find anything any suggestions.
Thanks
suggestion
Put it in a pc and format
There are programs that can format your storage card like Resco Explorer or SKTools. Or like sandrobber said, use your pc if you have a card reader.
