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

Any comment welcome... or should I just get a 1gb card?
Has anyone successfully used Adata 150x 1gb sd with their MDA Compact?
Thanks.

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.
hi
i just bought a new 2GB Transcend MicroSD Card
with mini sd adapter.
but the wizard doesnt read the card
(fat32 formated)
if i try the card in a cardreader its working ,
my old 512mb mini sd card working is working in my wizard..
any solution?
XTRANGE...
Try to use a ROM that contains the app format storage and try to formatt... but i think it may recognize it first... nothing to lose if try... or reformatt it on a XP built in with card reader.
Panasonic makes a free sd formatting software that it claims to strictly adhere to the sd standard:

You could give it a shot, don't see how it could hurt
Hi,
i have a new sandisk 2GB microSD card in my hermes. Because i have no card reader for my pc i want to format the card in my hermes.
Is it possible to do so? I cant found any option for formating.
The hermes says in settings >> memory that no card is installed.
I thing it is because the card is unformated.
I do so, but there is no storage card.
The mobile device also says that there is no storage card.
I know that Resco File explorer can format the card but most cards are formatted fat by default. The Hermes at least recognises this. If you're not even getting the sd card recognised then there may be either a problem with the card or with the Hermes.
It would be best to just fork over a few bucks and get a card reader for the pc as if the pc is recognising the sd card that means that the Hermes may have a problem. Try formatting FAT32 anywaty then put back into Hermes. May work.
If the pc doesn't recognise the sd card, does happen that new cards go bang, then I'd suggest taking the card back and getting a new one.
Cheers...
8gB micro SD
Hello,
I have the same problem. My 1gB card works fine in my Hermes but the new 8gB is not recognized. Spec says phone can only take maximum of 2gB but other forums say can use 32gB. My latest clue is that the card was preformatted with FAT32 and the Hermes requires FAT. However FAT can only deal with Volumes up to 4gB. So I stumped.
If you read a bit further you'd realise that these people with 32 Gb cards run custom roms which have the patch applied...
There is a cab file running around that allows you to run sdhc cards on WM 5/6 but I can't remember what its called (try sdhc patch in search)...
Hello,
I bough a MicroSDHC 4 GB memory card for the prophet, but the only problem is It is not recognizing, some one told me that it is because of the file system of format, my 2 GB micro SD card have FAT format and 4 GB had FAT32 by default, so I reformated it in FAT and still I can't get it working, it's not regognizing.
Well, I saw a thread on web some where saying to download "driver" and install it on the non-supporting MicroSDHC device and it will start recognizing. Is it true?
Please help, if it is possible do tell me some decent way thanks.
FAISAL!!!!!!!
prophet doesnt support sdhc only recognizes sd.....their aint any driver support aswell
I have found this program:

what is the size of sd card that a o2 xda himalaya running windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5 can take. i have a 4GB sandisk ultra 15MB/S SDHC MEMORY CARD that does no get recognized when i insert it.
are there any workarounds or is it a certain way of formating it or just a hardware problem?
himalaya only run sd cards anything over 2GB are sdhc
I am using a transcend 4 gb sd card ( not sdhc ) which I bought of e bay last year.Also works in Alpine and Blue Angel
it also supports 4 GB card but sd card as per all above post
if u can't able to detect it then just clean out the contacts of the card & also clean the inner contacts in himalaya with clean paper...
