SD works on XDA not on PC? Why?

Hi all!
Quick (I hope) question.
I have a M1000 that I have been using with a Kingstone 128MB SD Card. I also have a PC with one of these multiple card reader built in (6-1 I think they call it).
When I put my Kingstone card in the PC 6-1 a window open automatically with the card content.
Now I have finally bought a 1GB SD card from Billionton (48x) on eBay.
When I put the Billionton in my PDA everything seems fine, I can see the card and record on it.
When I put the card in my PC it can't read it at best, if I try to turn it on with the card inserted windows get stuck before login... (I am using XP)
I can see the GB card only through ctive Sync.
What can be the reason for it? Updating the drivers on my 6-1 is not an option... I have already looked for them...
If the solution is "formt the card" can u suggest a SW that I can use from my PDA?
Thank you!
Chris

read here about some sdcard readers which dont support SD cards with surden fs's on them

Question?

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).

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

Microsoft Activesync 4.2 - How do you .....

Hi There ,
Got an XDA EXEC with a 4GB storage card.
I want to sync folders of files on my storage card with my PC.
How do I do this ?
Thanks.

Search for "WM5torage" =)
This will turn your Universal into a glorified card reader.
I believe the Linux kernel includes support for Mass Storage Devices, and has for a long time.

TomTom Home can't detect my SD 2G

Hi,
After my upgrade to the new HTC PT ROM I have instaled the new version of TomTom Home. So far so Good...
why can't the program detect my SD 2G card in the Device?
Only internal memory has been detected.
Thanks

Have you tried formatting it. I use a 2gb card and tomtom recognized it with no problem.
Have you tried using the Sd adapted with your card and connecting it to your PC directly?

I have copied a orginal TomTom card to my SD 2G Card with my PC card reader, and, when i conect through activesinc my p3600 (to PC) and run my tomtom Home , The aplication just see the internal memory at Uper right corner.
Formatting it is not a option because i have programs instaled in it.
Thanks again.

1. Copy content of SD card to PC
2. Format SD card with the PANASONIC formatting tool (see other thread)
3. Copy content from PC to SD card
This should solve your problems.

OK
I will test it and report the result.
Thanks
WP

I have exactly the same problem. Please let me know whether the solution of formatting help you.

Works Great for me on HTC p3600 !!!
and Kingston SD 2G
The tomtom Home Now sees the SD Card
Very Thanks man.
...but i still have some problems doing a Full backup with tomtom home software. Always popup an error when reading some files instaled in SD card by other programs
Sory my English is a litle bit rusty.

I did have the same issues when trying to make a backup from TomTom home (I didn't have issues with previous versions of TomTom home). I contacted their support department and this was their response (I did have to translate it):
At this moment it's not possible to create a back-up from a PPC with TomTom Home version 1.5. This will be adapted but at the moment we advice you to make a manual backup.
Then they explained how to make a manual backup which basically required a SD card reader. They didn't specify a date on which it would be fixed.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm Glad is not my problem
Thanks

I think only formating the fat32 to fat will solve your problem.
but first copy all the files inside the 2gb sd to computer and unhide the file which is hidden. all files must be copied. Thats all.

[Q] No Sd Card

First i would like to thank you all for some interesting reading
i have just recieved my DHD and love it, my problem is that my sd card shows up just fine on the phone telling me i can unmount it and available space blah,blah, on the same screen when i connect it to the pc running windows 7 as soon as i select disk drive the sd card is un-mounted and then it is not visible in windows explorer also i have removed the sd card and placed it in my pc manualy and sits there looking for drivers
thanks in advance Mick

I assume you have selected "DISK DRIVE" from the drop down list that appears when you connect a USB cable? If so, this is most likely a Windows driver problem. So you might need the HTC drivers.
If you install HTC Sync (found on the card supplied with the phone) that should install the appropriate drivers. If it's not there, go to the HTC website and download latest HTC Sync version.
Can you try a USB stick or a standard card in the card reader of you PC and see if they work?
It could be a faulty SD card, I had problems with the one sent with my phone and had to replace it. All working ok now.

hi thanks for your reply i have done all of the above but still no joy, if the sd card was faulty i would assume it wouldnt work with the phone at all, the only thing i havnt tried is install the htc syn on my laptop to see if its a windows 7 issue or issue with my setup
otherwise i will have to wait and see what htc say about my issue
Cheers
Mick

Wait so let me get this right...
SD card in phone - Works
SD card in phone, hooked to computer using USB and selecting Disk Drive - Does not work (cannot see in Windows)
SD card directly in computer - Does not work...
Sounds like your issue is with Windows, not with HTC or your SD card...
Are you on a work computer by any chance? Can you plug normal USB flash drives in OK?
Either you're missing the Mass Storage driver or it's been disabled on your computer.
