I've been using a 4GB SD card for the past 9 months and never had problems. I recently decided to upgrade to Helmi_c's AKU3.5 ROM which seems real solid but I have noticed one problem...my SD card is changing its name and as such, all links are now missing. They all originally pointed to "Storage Card" and I've found that the SD card is now called "Storage Card 2", hence the missing links.
In looking at it further, I notice that there's a "Storage Card" folder created in main memory with the folders for both the IE cache as well as the inbox storage, both of which were on the card before. I am able to delete this folder and reinsert the card, do a soft reboot and all is back as it was once before...all links and icons working.
I do use Tweaks2K (also on the SD card) for the modification on the registery to make both the IE cache and Inbox storage to go to the SD card. I don't know if it is an issue with the ROM update since it didn't happen on my original AKU3.2 ROM or not. I'd hazzard a guess that the card is not being read when it the Universal turns itself on and not seeing the card, it creates the new "folder" with the IE and Inbox folders, cancelling out the real SD "Storage Card", contributing to my missing icons/program links.
Any one have any thoughts on this or point me in the right direction? I've googled the web and searched this forum but haven't seen an answer or I'm not using the right keywords. Any help or directions would be great as this seems to happen every 3-4 days.
Thanks!!!

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.
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!
hello all. I have a t-mobile wing and I am having problems with my extra storage card. I had 3 folders on there that seem to be corrupt. The folder names have changed to these weird symbols and the folders are empty. another problem is that I can not delete these folders. Through active sync or on my wing I can not delete the folders. But I am able to continue to save new files on to the storage card.
any advice on how to delete or format my storage card and start fresh?
thanks
The best thing would probably be to format your SD card using your computer. This software might help:

I haven't used it personally, and I can't remember the exact name of the SD Formatter Utility I've used in the past, but if you Google "SD Format Utility" you're bound to come across one that will work.
Hi there, all of a sudden my storage card has decided to rename itself from storage card to storage card2, and with this all my programs that where intalled on the original storage card have stopped working. How can i change this back as my file system now shows 2 storage cards(default new storage card and my old one that has been renamed storage card2), i hope this makes sense and there is a work round to this, i have tried pulling out the storage card but this didn't work please help as this is really annoying
More people have experienced this and there's a solution. Use the search function and you will find.
Yeah i have just looked at the search facilaty and it all seems a bit complicated all i want is for someone to give me a brief and easy solution please
1 take out the card
2 rename the folder 'storage card' to something else,
3 reboot
4 insert sd card and your card will be correctly named again.
its caused because the system is looking for a folder on 'storage card' before the system has finished mounting the actual storage card,. so it creates a folder instead.

This problem of disappearing Storage Card / Storage Card2 keeps appearing frequently on my WM6.1 Samsung device. Everytime doing the manual process is troublesome. Is there any way to get rid of this problem permanently or in automated way?
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?
