Can't Access SD CARD

Hi,
I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I have brought a Kingston 256mb SD Card and put it into my XDA II but the problem is I dont seem to be able to access it.
Can anyone please help.
Regards

Hm...i think you made a bad choice of using kingston 256 mb sd card. I use the same card as you do...but until now nothing happens with my card. My friend encounters the same problem with you. Maybe your card is defected like my friend's ? He changed to another brand though

you could try formatting it in a sdreader or in the xda using storage tools or pocket mechanics

do you have link for pocket mechanic.
tried doing a search on here but it returns too many unrelated threads.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the link but the program only recognises a 14mb card, which i didnt think i had???? or is that inbuilt into the xda II.
It still doesn't recognise my kingston 256 card.....
Any other suggestions guy!!!!

Try to format the card with a digital camera.

storage is the name of the backup
storagecard is the name of the sd card
if it cant see the storagecard then you can try with storage tool
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
if that also dont want to see the card then you can try formatting with a cam like was said
or maybe the card is just defect

Thanks again Rudegar
Tried that but that also didnt work. Only recognises 16Mb of Extended ROM and 16MB of storage memory.
Like I said before I am new to this and now I also a bit thick. Can you confirm to me the following;
1. XDA II come with 128 MB of memory
2. They come with 16 MB of RROM
3. They also come with 16 MB of memory
I didnt think point 3 was valid.
Anyway i'll just have to try the Kingston 256MB on a camera and see if it works. If that fails, I'll just have to get another one.
Also can anyone connfirm to me that when you put a SD Card into the memory slot at the top does the XDA II automatically recognise it?
Thanks you all for keeping up with my stupidity.

Go to settings
then to system
then memory
then to storage card
and then on the drop down does it show the two mediums
Storage card AND
storage this is normally 14.57 or depending how much you have assinged to it
The storage card is the external medium like by me a 512 gives about 488 free space

I have the same problem. Storage Tools isn't recognizing my card either...
Did you found any solution to this?

Yes. The solution was to replace the card. The card itself was fualty. I now have 1GB Kingmax SD card which works briliantly

In my case by restoring an old sprite backup after the upgrade to Rom 1.72 the access to my SD card was removed; so I reinstalled 1.72 and will not use the old backup anymore.

I've tried all of the above
My XDA II doesn't recognize SD cards..I changed the cards (although working in card reader with my PC), I hard rest the XDA II, re downlaod the new ROM, and nothing happining ..My problem started after downlaoding the new ROM and unlocking my XDAII with the tool in this site!! at the same time I don't know if this is related!! please help meeeeeeeeeeee!!! I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please

2GB card not getting recognized by Magician

My O2 mini is currently working ok with a 1GB SD card. However when I try to use a 2GB SD card, it always pops up the message "Do you want to try to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permanently delete any files on the card. Yes. No."
After I go ahead and format it, it says "This storage card has been successfully formatted". But the card does not show up in File Explorer. Also on removal and re-insertion of the card it shows the Formatting message all over again and again. This card is a "MyFlash Turbo" Card purchased from Singapore and it works perfectly fine in my USB card reader. I've tried copying files onto the card using the card reader. When I load this card in my O2 mini it again pops up the formatting option. When I format it in the O2 and try to read it through the card reader, the windows OS now tells me that this card is not formatted.
I don't know what to make of this. Can any one give me a solution to make the card recognized by my O2 mini?
Best Regards

same problem here bought my card in singapore too... some people have reported it to work. Would appreciate if someone could figure it out.

Maybe it's a specific brand that does not work?

Well that's what I thought, but this card seems to work ok through the card reader so I can't figure out if it's card or the xda mini which is at fault ??? Meanwhile my xda mini accepts my other cards. Any one has any clues as to what might be the problem ?

that's mean the SD card is not compatible with magician. I also got the same problem with only 256mb SD card. it's probably running on a not compatible frequency with magician.

My SanDisk Ultra II 2gig card from MobyMemory works perfectly

Running a different frequency? I thought there was a SD compatible format, and that all SD card are made accordingly...

I had the same thing with my Sandisk Ultra 2GB. What I did was pair the device with my laptop and explor to the SD card via the explorer in Activesync. I then created a folder called Temp. After I did this, the file explorer and magician would see the card with no problems.
Hope it help

I have exactly the same problem with the MyFlash (AData) 2GB as well on my O2 Mini.
Swap 3 cards already (different batches) and all had the same problem.
I've experience problem copying files to it from my laptop as well. I used a USB2.0 SD reader/writer and copied a large 900MB file to it - got the following error after a while:
Windows Delayed write error. Path is too deep
My Explorer hangs from that point. Same thing happened for all 3 cards.
I'm staying away from this AData 2GB for now.
cheers,
Patrick

I've had the same problem with this card on my JAM- simply does not recognise it at all (therefore cannot even try Mashie's method).
Tried it on my mate's XDA ii and it works straight away (ended up selling to him). What is it with these not supporting particular 2GB cards.
I think as a rule of thumb, those 2GB card which are 60x speed should work:
Sandisk - probably not the Extreme III
ATP 2GB
PNY 2GB
All of these are far more expensive than the Adata and others from the far east.

ADATA My Flash 1GB card doesn't work as well.

Have you tryed to format the card with your SD-Reader card? or best install Pocket Mechanic and try format with some other FAT options.
Good luck!

I bought an ADATA myflash MMCplus turbo 2GB 200x from us and it worked out of the box on my magician .109€.

The only obvious differences between this one the other ADATA one is that this one is MMC and a faster speed.
Still strange that it does work (or why this one works and not the others).
I have ordered yet another 2GB SD; will post to let you guys know if it works or not.

Hey guys I have also developed a problem with my memory card Sandisk 2 GB.

I flashed the old original ROM from O2 but even then my Atom Exec is not reading the card please Help.

I'm using also using a 2Gb microSD card without any issues. Try reformatting your card and check again. It could be a compatibility issue. Do other brands work fine?

check first with a smaller capacity microsd
to ensure slot is working fine
then if its working try to reformat your card if not you probably have a damaged card reader on ur hermes
btw im using 8GB Sandisk microsdhc with official att wm 6.0

ipaq 614c sd card

Hello.
i just bought my ipaq 614 and updated it from hp support site, and downloaded some apps, games put them into sd 2gb sandisk card and when i install them on my ipaq from sd card some apps hang during installation process, i reset device then some files on my sd gone but when i took card out of ipaq and connected it to card reader all files was there. sometimes later after few tries restart ipaq just shows card but theres nothing on it.
so whats the problem maybe i should buy 1gb card or other brand card?
or maybe update rom to win 6.5 or other not original would help..?
I would flash it but i really dont want to brick it.
Please help.
Thanks.

I think your sd card is just a bit loose...
Try to tighten it

i flashed my ipaq 614c to manila 6.1 win but same problems, i wonder if for you people were facing that kind of problems?
