Hi All, I am having an issue with putting more than 630MB of data on my newly bought 2 GB miniSD card and was hoping someone could help....
Firstly, some background info....
1. I'm on a Win XP Pro, DELL Inspiron 6400 notebook.
Im also running McAfee Security Centre with AntiVirus, Personal Firewall etc
2. When I expore via ActiveSync, the only information displayed about the miniSD is a folder under the root directory called "Memory Card"
3. I downloaded both WM5torage + Card Export 2 to resolve this problem - when I use WM5torage, only 1 removable disk comes up in File Explorer (only drive E)
BUT when I use Card Export II, I get 3 removable disks showing up in File Explorer (drives E,F,G).
E: contains all the files I copied to the miniSD and is showing up as 2 GB capacity (using "file explorer" properties)
F: contains some folders including camera, FMimages etc folders + is showing up as 16 MB capacity
G: contains nothing and is showing up as 65 KB capacity
If I use either of these programs the most I can get onto the miniSD is 624.5 MB.
Using either of these utils, I get a "file or directory cannot be created" error whenever I try to copy an additional file across.
BUT when I try and copy any new file using the "Explore" button via ActiveSync, it says "cannot copy - cannot find specified file".
Sheesh!
Another thing I just tried doing was running a checkdsk on the miniSD (using the XP disk tools you find after hitting the properties option on a certain disk).
I checked off the "Auto fix file system errors" option + the "scan for & attempt recovery of bad sectors" and ran the checkdsk.
This ran for about 20-30mins, it came up with NO errors and just said checkdsk is now finished.
Any suggestions guys?
Have u tried a reader ...
OK, I don't have a 2GM mini SD to try, but what I do is stick the mini SD into a SD adapter then stick it into a standard SD reader and plug it into the PC USB port.
I transfer all data in and out of the mini SD this way as I find it much faster than through Active sync or worse, WM5torage which is only USB 1.0 speed.
Try and see if you can transfer it this way, I believe u can as the "check" u ran shows no problems. After u transfer, stick the miniSD into the Atom and try to access the files ... I'd be interested in the results as I am thinking of getting a 2GB miniSD myself. I currently own a 1GB miniSD
I have tried this actually and my PC doesn't recognise/work with the minisd card with adapter.
I go to device mgr and there is a yellow question exclamation mark - when I look into properties it states
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
So going to try another reader just for a minisd (without the adapter) and also going to try another Atom to try and narrow down whether its the card or the Atom.
Great news - got it working!!!
Before proceeding with anything, I decided to update the Atom ROM from the "test_not_for_sale" one
to the latest offical one from o2 that was released a 1-2 weeks ago (20060426B1WWE).
After the system came back up I tried transferring more data using Activesync/Expore and bang! It worked.
I just filled the entire card up - all 2GB worth without a single glich.
I also installed Card Export 2 and tried copying the same amount across but that gave me the same error as before and would not go over the 630 MB.
Hope this helps anyone else out there having probs with their 2 GB card.
Congrats! But what were you waiting for before upgrading to the new official ROM :twisted: "could have saved yourself this anguish :shock:
as the saying goes "if aint broke why fix it?"
The ROM was working great and had enabled me to start using wifi so wasn't planning on upgrading unless I needed to - turns out that I needed to! :lol:

For all cab files you can use these steps:
1. copy the .cab to your Artemis with windows explorer (it should appear under My Computer) or indirectly copy it to <My Documents>\<Documents on Artemis>. Then it will be copied to the Artemis My Documents folder when you synchronise using ActiveSync.
2. open windows explorer on the artemis
3. find your cab (probably in My documents or in the root of the device)
4. tap on the cab with the stylus
5. follow on-screen instructions (install on device or storagecard)
In this case (a driver or program u use all the time, even when you're changing sd-cards) I'd install on the device. In most cases (programs you use only when that sd-card is inserted) install on storagecard to keep as much space as possible on the device (so it can use it for running programs)
After the sdhc driver is installed, soft-reset your device and after that insert your sdhc card. You should now be able to read it.
Bit obvious!!!
didnt realise they were .cab files, thought i had to flash it somehow!!

something strange happened to my storage card on saturday afternoon.
trying to open a film in media player. got some mad error that the file wasn't compatible (damaged). attempted to delete the file - phone comes back and says - can't do this - it's a system file - which is plainly isn't.
anyway - i reboot the phone, it loads up. error message - the following file cannot be found : - spgm.exe cannot be found. - EDIT - this is related to the GPRS data APP. So no reall clue there.
tried connecting the sd card to my laptop but no card found. which is a bit of an arseache as sprite back up was on the card so i can't restore a previous back up as the app can't be seen by the phone.
the only way out of this then is to
a) buy a new micro SD card (bigger the better - what's the largest size the HD can tolerate ? )
b) re-install everything to the new card and hope i can find the activation codes for the lot.

can any one please confirm the following on a new upgrade of the latest 1.72 rom currently on the VF UK site. or any other standard 1.72 rom
with an SD card installed ,after install of rom (so clean with no additional software/setups) connect phone to a pc via usb, choose disk drive.
sd appears has a removavble drive on pc as normal. Works has expected.
unload hardware on pc - stop the removable drive (SD Card).
phone does not re-acquire the sd card. requires a soft reset to do this.
Previous 1.66 and 1.43 roms worked fine.
Tried 2 pc's , both XP, one service pack 2, the other service pack 3.
Reported this to VF tech support but really got nowhere (suprise), so chatted to HTC UK tech support and logged the problem.
additional info:
Interestingly even though the sd is not showing in phones file explorer, if the phone is re plugged into the pc, the active sync/disk drive screen is displayed on the phone and the SD is recognised as an external drive and can be used on the PC.
removing the hardware a second (or subsequent) time still does not show the SD in file explorer,
