how can we make our ppc stirage card as flash drive? i need it because everytime i send movies or large files to my ppc it uses much under active sync.
thanks.
Simple. Buy a card reader .
Try WM5 Storage.
I had a bit of trouble finding the Cab myself, so here you go.
Thanks,
Dave
no
not that, i said as a regular flash drive not using card reader. directly inserted to my ppc.
thanks dave

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
so i downloaded Pocket Quake for my wizard and am copying my pak0.pak file to my SD card. its a 175mb file and i have 1.4 gb free on my card. i tried exploring the device via Activesync and drag n drop the file, but it copes a portion of the file and shows that the device is unplugged!!!!!
i tried putting the miniSD into the SD card adapter and put it in my SD card slot on my laptop and i cant even access it because it keeps telling me that my card is not formatted. i have formatted this card before, but i guess it wont let me access it within windows.
how the heck am i going to get this 175 mb file on my card? this is so frustrating! thanks.
Its a bug with activesync - you have to use a card reader to transfer large files or wm5storage (use storage card as usb storage device). Activesync sucks!
wm5storage download link http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=11800
I noticed when I move any file to the minSD through ActiveSync, it takes FOREVER. A song takes at least one minute to transfer. I dont have a card reader so I havent tried that yet.
im afraid to eject my card, cuz everytime i do, it messes up on me...

i just installed this on phone.. how do i use it?
thx for the program, meschle.
it took me a while to figure it out too, but u go to START, ACCESSORIES, then run the program, ACTIVATE and if you have your wizard plugged into your usb then it should detect as a removable drive.
it worked for a while at first, but now my data on my storage card seems to be corrupted =\ gotta figure this out now.

It might be corrupt becuase u unplug da cable to fast. 100 mb file is big for ur device's processor, wait awhile before you unplug the cable
Hi everyone,
I am planning to use a new 2G SD card to replace 1G SD on my cingular 8125. Used winhex make a disk clone to 2G SD but don't reallize the disk clone is a kind of sectors to sectors copy so finally only a half size shows on my 2G SD . how can i find out the rest of storage?
Or may i need try some other program?
Appreciated any feedback in advance.

WHy not use wm5torage so that your SD card looks like a thumb drive and just back it up (copy) to your PC. Then put in the new card and restore it back to it? Maybe I'm missing the purpose of this tool, but I'd think that would work (and is what I've thought about doing when I get a larger SD card).
thanks Pal, i would like take a try. will let you know the result.

I just "explore my phone" in active sync, open the SD card and drag and drop things around...works fine, am I missing something? No extra program required...

yes, i tried this before in active sync too but crash sudenly while copying at 70% around 400mb of 600mb. so i think it may not a best solutions. just use WM5torage which can convert your phone SD card as a common USB device. more easy and stable .

Cool, glad that worked! I've had problems with active sync in the past when moving very much data, so figured that wouldn't be the best way to do something like this. Making the SD card look like a thumbdrive with WM5torage seemed like a viable solution and it sounds like it was for you
I have all my pictures on my Cingular 8525 save to my SD card, a 1GB Kingston microSD.
I don't know when exactly i lost access to my pics, but i noticed right after i had synced the device, since i was trying to pull the pics off the card....Figures, as i am going to back up my photos i lose them before i can do it!
I tried to use active sync to browse to my SDcard and view the my pictures which are saved in my docs and the my pictures. When i opened my documents the folder kept showing up empty, i reset the device and the same result...so then i took the card out of the device and put it directly into my laptop and when i tried to open the "my pictures" folder that way, i get the message, "That file is not accesible...the file is corrupted and unreadable"
I'd be very grateful to any suggestions on what i can try to retrieve these pics, i had a lot on there and my friends are asking me to send them...THanks!!
same problem here....
You might like to try software like this http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/digitalphoto.asp. IMPORTANT: Make sure don't write anything to SD card now. Just use PC and the software to recover the images. Good luck...
Is there a Pocket PC program that i can install and try to do that without needing a desktop?
Look here:

Try a data recovery program like GetDataBack and use a program that allows your PPC to export your microSD card like a USB JumpDisk, or plug it in to your pc's card reader if you have one.
I suffered from many corrupt storage cards when using spb insight on my wizard. I have to keep inserting and removing my card until i could see the corrupt files, once they show up i'd use GetDataBack and recover my card. Then format it and add the recovered data.
hi
My G1 can't copy large file from computer to G1's SD card via USB. Everytime i tried to copy a large file to SD card via, the G1 will turn off the USB storage. Would you like to let me know how to fix it? Thank you very much.
Define large.
And secondly, what happens if you try to even access the files on your SD through windows? Do you get the same behavior?
Filesystem is formatted fat16 OR bad USB wire OR you use windoze.
I am having a similar problem. I have a Rogers G1 and bought a 16GB Lexar card from Walmart for $55 CAD(seemed like too good a deal and it was). Took it back after trying to reseat the card several times and the issue still persisting. The 2nd card is still having the same problem.
I first noticed it when trying to copy my 8 gb MP3 collection... after about 5-10 mins of transfering the SD card becomes unmounted.
I suspect that it will work fine if I mount the card in an adapter and put it in my laptop, but will confirm.
Might try to fatten up the micro sd card a bit where the connectors are, and see if it makes better contact with the phone...if transfers work from the laptop.

'Large' means the file size is more than 100MB. I can copy the large file to SD via USB adapter successfully. And G1 itself can access large file successfully. Now i have not test it in Linux environment.
thl16888, What kind of memory are you using? Who did you get your phone through? Little shy with your details..
I am able to copy files from widows directly to the card as well...just not so well on the phone.

My SD card is Scandisk 4G. I can copy large files into sd card via USB reader. it is not so well via G1's USB.
There is a 4 gig file size limit on Fat32 format. So anything larger will not work.
I have the same problem in Windows. However in Linux it works perfectly so I know the phone cable and SD card are fine. That only leaves one problem, Windows! I think the Windows USB driver is not very stable.
My g1 had the same problem..so what I did was mounted it in terminal..the phone can't scan it so it can't close it...so heres the url enter this in the terminal emulator or console click here
i have a similar problem to, help plx
I have similar problem to, but itz with any file, until the smallest note 1kb.
I try to copy a file, like a music, ok, its there, but after when I remove safely the usb, and unmount on the g1, I look for the file and its not there. I tested with every type off archives, and with a 200mb file, the sd don't keep the file. Help plx , maybe its a config wrong.
Ahh, and I can't download files on g1 by browser, it says that I haven't space, but I have 3GB on sd and 20mb on internal.
Before I haven't this 2 problems. Someone know what are the problem?
Sorry by the bad english, I'm portuguese =P
I have the same problem, i can't copy big files to the G1. When i put the sdcard in a card reader, windows detects nothing.
Download MountUSB App from the Market on your G1, and try again....that worked for me.
I'm having similar problem just copying a 646KB file for Cookie Monster's app. It constantly disconnects from my pc.
