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

SD Card not recognised in file explorer

Hi all,
I have searched hi and low for the resolution to my problem. I have owned a Magician (sold as Xda II Mini) for just under a year and have a 1Gb SD card (eagletec turbo 66x speed) which has worked beautifully until two days ago
File explorer does not recognise the SD card. I have tried the SD card in other devices (e.g. PC - using a card reader, digital camera, dvd player, my friend's pda etc...) and it works fine.
I have tried inserting different SD cards into the Magician and they all get recognised ok.
I have tried soft reset and hard reset to no avail.
I have formatted the SD card using a card reader on the PC (tried both FAT and FAT32) and also tried formatting it in my digital camera.
When I insert the card into the Magician (from power off state), the Magician does light up indicating to me that there is no problem with the spring load mechanism of the expansion slot. What is strange is that when I go to Settings->System->About, I get 'Expansion Slot: Not in use'
I also tried (after a suggestion in another post) to add a "shim" of plastic of paper on the contact side of the SD card. No use.
I am reluctant to flash the ROM as I have not had any other problems with the Magician to warrant it.
Any ideas?

Have you tried cleaning the contacts of the SD card? Try soft resetting with the SD card in it.

Hi thanks for replying.
Yes I have cleaned the contacts of the SD card and also tried many soft resets with the card in and also with the card out.

Hello,
Try formatting your card with a different reader or from a Nikia phone.
Regards
Carty..

I have tried formating the card in several card readers. Still not being recognised is file explorer. Again, the card does work in any other device I put it in - just not my mini
Anyhow, I'll just use a different card for now. Just wondered if any other people had the same issue as I do.
Thanks all.

for me the same **** happened with my new, exchanged, mdac. using the sd card with the previous machine was no problem, now the card is not being recognized at all. using it in notebook, camera ... no problem.
any ideas?

i dont want to start another thread but im having the exact same problem with my MDA Compact II. I have a 1gb Toshiba SD card that wont even work in the MDA but it works fine on my camera and PC. So I would like ot know if there is a solution to this
Thanks

Hi all
I am a newbie and am experiencing the same issue, external sd card not showing up in file explorer.
Sniffer can find it and I can play media files from there. Is this the norm or do I need to change something?
I am using C&C 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 8 final.
The 16GB card is seen by all other card readers I have tried.

4GB Mini SD strange behaviour

HI all,
I am using a 4GB Mini SD, not SDHC ones, and it happens that my X7500 doesn't read it properly, I mean that it recognizes it but it reads it as full while it isn't so and I can't access to the folder and run applications installed on it either. To have a correct reading of the card, I have to remove and insert it from its slot.
What could it depend from? Any suggestion to solve the problem...considering I tried a format card from pc and ppc both?
THX so much for you help!

Any suggestion?

[Q] Win 7 + SD card reader = problems. Help.

Hi
I'm having such problem. Tried different types of SD cards, first one was Trancend 16GB class 10 (high speed). Second one Trancend 8GB class 6 (medium speed). Third one some noname 4GB... So, I've got the same reading problem with all of them; intermittent reading and even card recognizing issue which is rendering SD card reader useless on device. I should highlight the thing that all cards perfectly being read in all other devices when pulled out of Shift and inserted in any of another devices. Tried to do different things, reinstalled drivers few times and so far... Seems this is strange hardware issue (compatibility issue?) arises in windows 7 enviroment. It's so upsetting, I don't want to come back to slugish Vista but I really need SD card reader!
I did not see many posts about it, so is anyone else having similar problem? Can you please share ideas and solutions of the problem if you overcame it.

i was having the same problem but after i did a windows update it was working fine, i have a A-DATA SDHC 16GB card.

Apply the BIOS update from the HTC website and all will be fixed!

Well !

On the HTC site

and my installed bios was v1.0.0.18
When i open the bios Flash utility
i see that the new version is 1.1.0.xx
i've install the non-UK file as indicated for non-uk shift
Installation was a success and very easy
but i still have the same problem with MicroSD card in internal SD card reader slot
I will check for EC driver i see somme where and tell you for result

still have SD PB
ok,
know i can acces to my microSD card in the SD card reader slot
with MicroSD to SD adapter
but when i use my other adapter that is
MicroSD to MiniSD to SD card adapter
the Shif ask me to format the MicroSD card
even if i use my USB Transcend SD card reader directly on USB
with the MicroSD to MiniSD to SD card adapter
In my XP PC no problem with this Dual Adapter !
Sniffff, i'm sad

When the shift to fall asleep again I have to pull the card and the data again and goes, but I'd wanted to tread do not normally have someone an idea or gimmick? Thank you for your reply, Mirek

someone solved?
I have the same problem

[Q] SDHC card won't appear on my computer

My Trophy 7 stopped working in Zune a little while back - it just won't install as a recognised device on the computer.
So I decided to get a new phone but I want to keep my files from the Trophy, so I bought an SDHC card reader and took the card out of the phone only to find when I plug it in the SDHC card reader it won't appear on my computer.
The card reader lights up to say there's a card there - just my computer doesn't like it.
The card reader picks up a standard 2GB SD card and it's definitely an SDHC card reader as I checked the packing (providing the packaging isn't lying).
I'd really like to get my files off the card. As far as I'm aware you can't access the files directly when the SDHC card is in the phone, but seeing as it's now in an adapter I don't see why it won't appear on my computer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can access these files?
P.S. I've tried EaseUS to see if that picks it up too.. It doesn't

You cannot pull files off of the card in this manner. Windows Phone uses a proprietary file system that Windows cannot access. I suggest replacing the card into your Trophy for now, and we can try troubleshooting the Zune connection. I'm assuming the Trophy was otherwise working correctly.
It is most likely your computer that is at fault for it not being recognized in Zune. After reinstalling the card into the Trophy, make sure the phone boots properly. Connect it to your PC and open device manager, and see if the phone is appearing at all, and whether or not it is installing a driver for it. Also, was your Trophy running a custom rom, or was it stock?
If all else fails and we can't get Zune running, you can put the phone on wifi and upload pictures and some files to SkyDrive.
