Sometimes after a soft reset I find that I cannot access my SD card. the reason is that my card has been renamed "Storage Card2" and I have a new "storage card" that really does not exist. In order to access my card I have to delete "storage card" and reset, then storage card2, becomes just storage card. I have this happen with two different cards, so i am sure it is not the card.
I am assuming my card is not initializing and that is creating the problem? If so, can I do anything about that? If that is not the problem, then what?
Cingular 8125 with HTC ROM 2.25.
that happenned to me once too.

hi. For the last few days i've been having a stange problem and can't figure out what/why its happening.
I have an XDA IIi (O2) and a SanDisk 512mb sd card.
In file explorer, it should be shown as "Storage Card" but every so often at no particular time or after no particular event, it renames itself to "Storage Card2". I still have a "Storage Card" folder but it's empty.
If I do a soft reset its still there as "Storage Card2". To get it back to normal I have to remove the card, soft reset and reinsert the card. then it works as "Storage Card" for a time...
Any ideas or help appreciated

all of a sudden my "storage card" became "storage card2" and all of my apps on the storage card became unavailable.
how can I revert it back to "storage card" ?

You haven't created any folders / directories called storage card by any chance?

I found the problem. a directory named "storage card" was created in my root directory.
now I deleted it and the problem is gone.
thank you. that was the exact problem, only I didn't create it but my "card export" created.
OK - good that it's solved

This will happen if you remove the SD card and some application still thinks its there. It will create a folder "storage card" for writing files and the next time your SD card is there it will get the next free name, e.g. "storage card2".
One application that does that: Pocket Internet Explorer with registry tweak to use the storage card. So if you use that tweak make sure there is always a SD card inserted. Or close PIE and disable the tweak - before removing the card.

The name "Storage Card" is now renamed "Storage Card2" in File Explorer. It wouldn't allow me to change the name back to "Storage Card". What do I need to do to access my stored programs; other than doing a hard reset?. I'm using a T-Mobile MDA with WM5. Thanks.
have you used any program to unlock your extended rom? if not, then pull out your memory card and put it back in. Sometimes when the memory card gets loose it can cause a problem with accessing the card, so the phone puts it in as card2.
if your phone's extended memory is unlocked, then that's a separate issue...

I pulled the memory card and put it back in, but nothing changed. The problem came up after I used Tweaks2k2 to tweak my phone.
Update:
I did a "hard reset" and everything is working just fine.
Thank God for backups!
The same thing happened to me on my 8125! The folder Storage Card2 is where all your programs are stored, so don't do the same mistake I made! I deleted Storage card2, assuming this was the bogus folder...Instead several hundred MB of stored programs were lost. Try this before you do something you could avoid. Delete tne folder Storage Card, remove the actual SD card, re-insert, then soft reset. Let me know if it worked.

A strange thing happened - my memory card changed its name from Storage Card to Storage Card2 - now my progs dont work!
Anyone know how to change it back?
i had that happen to me once, i took the memory card, and deleted the folder called storage card from file explorer and then reinserted the memory card again. You might need to soft reset afterwards
Some program likely tried to write to the card while it was out.
Take your card out
Delete the remaining "Storage Card" folder
Reinsert the card.
Did you try and move the inbox to the memory card?
Have a look at these threads

didnt do anything, think it tried to do something when it was connected to the computer as a storage device.
All sorted now, many thanks.
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?
