Hey,
I was using Pocket Mechanic to defragment my storage card, and at the end of the process it had asked me to soft reset my phone to complete the process. So i did that and now my phone will not start if my storage card is in my phone and to turn on my phone i have to wait untill everything is booted to insert the storage card. And for some reason when i go in my file explorer it shows as one FOLDER named "storage card" and my STORAGE CARD named as "storage card2", and now all the shortcuts do not work and i cannot rename my storage card back to normal, any ideas? thanks!

Well, it unfortunately looks like you've got a corrupted storage card. You're going to have to format it. If you have shortcuts to programs that you've installed onto the SD card, re-installing those apps will/should just resolve the shortcut problem.
STOP, thats not always the case!
a) Remove storage card.
b) Open a file explorer, you shoudl see the folder "storage card". delete it. It was created, because the system could not open up the real storage card.
c) re-insert the storage card. It should now come up with "storage card"
Still, the storage card could have bena affected so you could use a application like "pocket mechanic" to scan the storage card for errors.
If you find errors get a storage card reader for your pc. then you copy all of your (working) data to the pc, format your storace card and re-copy everything to the card.

Thanks! ill be sure to give that a try right now and ill let you guys know how it went. I appreciate the help!

Ok so that did the trick! delete the Storage card folder before putting in my storage card successfuly fixed all the shortcuts. However, I still cant reboot my phone with my storage card in it, once it gets to the windows mobile screen it just restarts and it will never get any further than that unless i take out my memory card. In my memory card i do have Tomtom set up in it and its got a "autorun" file in it so could that be the error? thanks!

i have done a search and cant find the answer, can you tell me where i would find the root folder on a storage card ????
When you explore using Activesync you will see 'Explore My Windows Mobile Device' Click on that then storage card, your then in the root of the storage card. There is a not root folder as such, the root of the storage card just means not in a folder on the card.
that is what i thought, many thanks for the reply. I was just making sure, thanks
hi,
i just pulled the sd card from my i9000 into my pc and i cant see any file from it...
then i put it back into the phone and navigated with astro filebrowser on it, there are all know android dir on it and one called sd...
I put something into it and only things in this folder i can see on my pc why? I would like to copy photos or music directly to the sd card...
can anyone help me?
If you try to access your SD card from the External drive folder called "SD" it won't work.
There are 2 drives actually for this phone when you plug it with USB, one is the External sdcard (the 6gb partition that comes with the phone) and the other is the microSD card. Both are in My Computer.

Im not using a USB Cable to acces the sd card, I put the card out of the phone into a cardreader and then I cant see any files on the card only the files in the folder called "sd" on the card but in the phone I see there more folders on the root of the sd card.
On the phone I see following folders in root of the sd card:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
Everything in this folder "sd" I can see on my pc but not the folders on the root of the sd card?
why?

That's because those files and folders you only see on your phone are in fact part of the internal memory and NOT from the microsd card.
The microsd card is in fact the folder named SD.
Your best bet and it is the one I personally use is to leave the card in the phone and attach your phone to the PC via USB.
Once you have 'mounted' the phone you will then see 2 (two) directories.
One directory will be the internal memory (roughly 5.6GB) and the other the microsd card.
On mine it shows as drives E & F.

Sorry on my phone it isnt that way.
On the root of my phone there is folder called "sdcard" in this one I can find this folders:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
only things in the folder "sd" are visible on my pc. for ex. if i take a pic and store it by the cam app to the sd card its saved into the sdcard\dcim\ and it is on the sd card. when I put the card into the pc Im not seeing anything... if I go with astro and copy the pic from sdcard\dcim\ to sdcard\sd\PIC and put the sd card into my pc Im seeing on the sd card ONE FOLDER called PIC?!?!
Ive just checked it with the usb cable and its the same thing, if you plug it in you get two drives one with the folders
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and another...
BUT BOTH ARE THE SD CARD, try to connect the phoen without a installed sd card to a pc you will see nothing...
And this point I would like to change.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying.
The folder sdcard is the internal memory
Whilst the folder sd is the MicroSD card.
If yours is different then I don't know what is going on with your Galaxy S

Yes, I agree... it is confusing.
On a Windows Mobile device the SDCard relates to the external SDCard.
With the Galaxy S, because it has an 8GB storage card (of which you only get to use around 5.6GB) it treats this as the SDCard and of course anything saved does indeed go to this storage.
Looks like we will have to wait for Froyo to arrive on the Galaxy S before we can download direct to the MicroSD card (which as we know is indeed buried inside SDCard/SD.
Hi sorry but i have a question, why is my external sd card is recognised as internal storage(first pic) also and i do not have any option to unmount it.(second pic)
Also i have my files on my external sd card in the file 'sdcard' on my phone however i also have a file called sd_ext(empty) which i presume is the external sd card. Therefore, is it normal to have it like that? and how to i know which is my internal and external respectively. Thanks for the help in advance.
i can view all the files and they are recognised by my phone but i just want to know if there is a fix for this.

this must be a systems bug. It´s the same to me and all others. You can ignore that.
also and i do not have any option to unmount it.(second pic)
you can unmount your sd card in the phone settings (it must be settings/storage/SD Card unmount)
Also i have my files on my external sd card in the file 'sdcard' on my phone however i also have a file called sd_ext(empty) which i presume is the external sd card. Therefore, is it normal to have it like that?
Try to use another root file explorer (for ex.: https ://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=de )

First of all: you don´t have to use another phone for making screenshots. Just press Power for 2 Sec. and choose Screenshot. (You have to activate this first in the phone settings.)
hi thanks for replying but i already have es file explorer but i am still confused as i don't know which is my internal or external i a file under mnt call sdcard and it stores everything(it contains files on my sdcard but i am not sure wether all of them belong to the external adcard) while the sd-ext is empty but under storage it says that 1.53 of 1.8gb is occupied.
Also for the part to mount or unmount the sdcard i donot have the option as shown in the second pic.i went the the correct directory as you said
I am unable to transfer files from my phone memory to my sd card.
I am also unable to transfer files from my pc to sd card in the phone. I have no issue transferring files from pc to phone memory.
I can view and open files on the sd card and the phone is able to play music and movies stored on the sd card.
Can anyone help me fix this issue?
Thanks!
I don't have such problem at all.
Try different file browsers like ES File Explorer and Astro.
If those do not work, try and factory reset your phone and ask for a replacement if the problem still persists after that.

Does the phone read the sd card? Do you have anything on it to access? If not I would suggest formatting the sd card.

The phone reads all the files on the sd card. I get an error that says Access denied when i copy a file from the phone memory to any folder on the SD card...however I get no error when I copy the files to the root SD card. It's weird...not sure whats going on.
You need to use the stock file manager to copy to the sd card or from the sd to internal as this is a "security feature" since Android lollipop. If you wish to use any other file explorer you MUST be rooted...

I use ES File Explorer and it works - and I won't root until ZTE posts full factory roms for the US version.
I still think there is some issue with the sd card that can be solved by formatting it - if the phone won't move files to it and the pc recognizes the phone but not the sd card how did you get files on it in the first place?

Not true. I just used Solid Explorer to copy files from internal memory to the SD card. There was an extra procedure of selecting the sd card in what looks like the stock storage selection menu thing (that also has Drive, Downloads etc) which was apparently necessary for Solid Explorer to get the necessary permission. Maybe it doesn't work with old file explorer apps that haven't implemented this solution, but it definitely works with Solid Explorer without root.
