Skype won't install to my SD card. Any idea why? I had it before, on main memory, and it worked fine. I had to uninstall it to make way for TomTom, and when I try to re-install it on my SD card, the file transfers thru active sync ok as if it's installing, then when it's done that part it immediately says on my O2 XDA Mini "Installation was unsuccessful" without ever showing the little CAB progress bar you usually get when installing stuff.
Thanks
Got it working - for some reason when I double click the .exe on my PC, it asks if I want to transfer to storage card or main device. I chose storage card, and got the problem above.
However when I browsed my mem card from my XDA, I noticed it had put a CAB file on the card. When I open this on the XDA, it asks if I want to install to storage card or device. I chose card, and it works fine.

Hi,
Any application that I install on the storage card does not run - I get the message 'The program is from an unknown source.....'
Then nothing when I click 'Yes'
the same applications run fine if installed on the main device memory - anyone had any similar problems?
Thanks
I get this message from time to time when the sd card is a little off in the slot... Usually just remove and insert the sd card and it works and sometimes blow into the slot.
Give it a try... maybe it works maybe it wont...
I have a strange problem. When I click the the Google maps cab & the device prompts whether to load in Device or Storage Card, I choose storage card but it still installs onto the device memory.
I uninstalled & reinstalled but it still won't install onto sd card.
I tried other programs & they install onto the sd card without problems.
Any ideas?
I've had the same problem.
It doesnt give the option of installing to anywhere and after it's downloaded some 'cashe' it takes up near 1MB!!
Is it worth it??
I might just stick to Livesearch.
Hello everyone,
It my be simple but I'd better ask you.
I have got 2gb card in my HTC HD2 and now it is almost full with movies and applications (I have installed all app to my memoty card)
So, I'd like to change the card to 8 or 16gb.
How to copy everything?
Just simple drag and copy? or Do I need to install everything from scratch (Garmin,Shell etc)?
As my Mobile Shell and all stuff have been installed on my memory card, when I remove the card the phone will crash, won't it?
Shall I use "Format SD card" or I can format it using my Vista?
Thanks
Simply copy & paste all files from the old card to the new one on your PC should work fine (I did the same to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB SDHC). But do not delete the files in the old card so soon until you have tried and test all programmes after transfer. Better do a system backup before as well just to play save.
I formatted my new card on the device, but I think Vista can do the same. Just make sure you format it using the right "FAT" option (seach this forum for more details).
This is the procedure I have followed successfully in the past.
1. Attach the phone to your PC in "Disk Mode" NOT Activesync.
2. Create a new folder on your PC. Call it something like "SD-Card".
3. Copy all of the files from the sd-card to the folder on the PC.
4. Detach the phone, remove the sd-card and insert the new card.
5. Attach the phone to your PC in "Disk Mode" NOT Activesync.
6. Copy all of the files from the PC folder to the sd-card.
7. Detach the phone then do a soft-reset.
8. Everything should now work, but test!
Garmin wont work because it requires a card number, which changes in case of changing the memory card. It has to bi installed again to the new card.
Thanks for all answers.
Yes, I had to reinstal Garmin.
I just noticed that my phone is not seeing the MicroSD card in the system.
I have reseated the card and soft reset the phone so far, but cannot get the card to be seen again.
I was able to transfer some files to the card this morning so something must have happened after the transfer...
Anyone else see this problem?
I guess this has been moved here, so I'll mention this is the T-Mo US version. Stock ROM
Same issue...
I Have had the same issue... Figured it out when I wanted to run an app that was installed on my sd card... Had to Take out card, put it back and reboot the phone. If it happens again, will be taking phone back to T-Mobile to have them take care of issue.
Yea, that def. doesnt sound like how it's intended to be...
The card mounts in Windows, while its in the phone and I can transfer to it, but cant be viewed on the phone.

Check that you haven't got a 2nd 'Storage Card2' in the phone root folder - This sometimes happens if you try to reference the card while it isn't installed - another 'Storage Card' is generated.
If so, use file explorer, gsfinder or Total Commander to find your (correct) card and delete the temporary one.
HTH
Also Unable to Read SD Card
I am having a similar issue. Got my HD2 (TMO US, stock ROM) on launch day, SD card wasn't recognized starting last night. The phone asks me to format the SD card after a soft reset. When I connect to the PC via USB in Disk Drive mode, as soon as I try to explore the SD card the PC asks me to format it. Programs that I have installed to the storage card show up with a generic icon and do not start.
Maybe those of you having problems can provide some additional info about any changes to your device, and we may find something in common. Here's what I can think of that's associated with my phone:
- Customizations with BsB Tweaks and HD2Tweak (tried backing out the FAT cache settings already and resetting, card is still not recognized)
- A small number of manual registry changes which I can't verify because, of course, I wrote the backup files to the SD card *facepalm*
- Cookie's Home Tab
- Some additional games, Google Maps, Google Mobile App, Total Commander, PHM RegEdit, a few other random apps from O!Market
I also have Pointsec encryption on my laptop, which is notorious for trying to grab a hold of removable media and "protect" it.
My SD Card just showed up.
I had made no changes to the ROM at all. Completely stock, no CABs installed.
Since then I have installed some registry tweaks and some apps.
But thats my giving to a solution, which is nothing lol..
I have noticed however, that when the phone is mounted to my PC and Im in the folder, I cant browse to the SD Card on the phone...
Anyone else see that?
I believe I know the problem. IT happened to me several times, until I unplugged the USB cable, then the SD card magically appeared again.
When ever the phone is tethered, or connected to USB, the SD card is not vissible on the phone via file manager.
It should be visible via the laptop or PC explorer
Card Now Visible
I did have to format my storage card to get it to be recognized by the HD2. In case anyone else runs into the same problem, here are the steps I followed:
- Removed microSD card from device, put in adapter, and attached to computer
- Used TestDisk (www[.]cgsecurity[.]org/wiki/TestDisk) to view the data on the drive. I was able to recover all of the files and directories.
- Copied the recovered files to my computer's hard drive
- Removed microSD card from computer, put in phone, and allowed phone to format when the dialog box appeared
- Removed card from phone, attached to computer, copied recovered files to card
- Put card in phone and soft reset
Hopefully this helps someone out who runs into a similar problem.
Thanks for the above post - that definitely helped me this morning as I thought my storage card had stopped working.
Seems daft when you plug in the USB cable from PC that phone then shows storage card as not installed.
Help suddenly I cannot see my memory card and most of my apps on on it.

same problem here... hmmmm.. please htc.. do something
try a soft reset.
are you on a VF uk phone?
Got the same problem last week.
I find out the memory card got corrupted. dont know why.
XP didnt seen the card in reader at all.
Vista helped me to format the card, but i lost all my data, as i have to do full format to get the card live again.
Yes tried that. Yes on Vodafone but using laurentius26's Ultimate Rom which I believe is based on a T-Moile rom. I have been using this for some months without issue.
How do you format a memory card that can't be seen?
when you open file explorer can you see it there
or has it dissapeared from that too?
File Explorer will not open so soft reset now it opens but whole startup process now quite slow.Storage card indicated ...tap on it get inbox .mstxxx so email I guess and Temp folder containing cookies, History and temp int files. Thats my lot.
This is a common problem. Try removing the memory card, soft resetting then delete the folder "Storage Card" or "Storage Card2" if it exists. Reset again and insert memory card.
This problem occurs when the storage card is mounted on a PC (Disk Drive mode) and an application such as email tries to write to it. Windows decides the folder (as the storage card is mounted as a folder) has been deleted, so re-creates it. When the memory card is unmounted from the PC, windows has to call it something other than "Storage Card" as that name has now been allocated to a folder.
If that is not the problem, put the card into a PC and see if it recognizes it. It might say "this card is not formatted" etc. in which case you need to reformat and lose all of the data on it
the_sikko is quite correct the same thing happened to me last week. I simply re-connected to the pc and deleted the newly created 'storage card' and that resolved my problem.
I did notice a folder called Storage card earlier on now after numerous resets it's gone. I have also reset back to factory settings. Each time I reinsert the card Windows Mobile Device centre shows me the memory card (although my phone indicates no sd card loaded etc.) but when I try to access it, it disappears!
Try increasing the timeout that allows your storage card to be detected when the device is booting or coming out from suspension.
These registry edits worked for me:
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPUnloadDelay“=dword:8196
[HKLM\System\StorageManager]
“PNPWaitIODelay“=dword:8196
Also, you may want to disable the power management on your storage card with:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class]
“DisablePowerManagement“=dword:00000001
Hope this helps
Ok now I will have to learn wo to edit my registry
So without having to edit my registry I managed to grab the file that said Storage card but when I tried to delete (with the card still inserted) it I'm told Access is denied and I should check the card is not write -protected or currently in use. When I try to open it it simply disappears. If I try to delete it with the card removed I get Cannot delete "mxip_notify":There has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use.
Any suggestions?
Could really do with some help here cos I'm well and truelly lost in terms of what my options are.

I literally just had this issue. I have two Kingston 4GB cards and one of them simply stopped working. I wasn't able to copy anything from the mSD card to my laptop, so have simply formatted the card and now it no longer shows up in Windows Explorer (Windows 7).
Now i'm using the other card. I can tell by the way this card is responding in the HD2 that the other card became corrupt. I have just ordered two Transcend 8GB mSD cards from eBay for about £30.
I downloaded a tiny piece of software which is supposed to bypass Windows Explorer limitations and force format SD cards...but it won't work because the card just doesn't show to the laptop.
Well in the end I put the SD card into the card slot of a PC and after a very very long time I managed to format the card. All is well now.
my card got corrupted too
maybe i know the answer..
sorry for my bad english..
I've the same problem. But searching from all forums, finally i get the answer. just find n download EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Proffessional 4.3.6 (for 5 MB). Insert the mmc in card reader, use this software to recovery all the missing file (choose Complete Recovery Option). After recovery process done, use software LLFTool (for 600kb, just doing some browsing at google) to Low Level Format the mmc (this LLFTool can recognize the mmc). After all done, Windows can recognize again the mmc at windows explorer. Just right click and choose quick format (format FAT32). Done.
Had to Hard Reset
Just to add my two pennies worth.
None of the above worked for me. In the end I had to Hard Reset. Harrumph!
