Hi Guys' - I can't seem to find anything about this (maybe too bleeding edge ) but I don't want to commit my miniSD slot to just running TTN6.
Does anyone have any hacks or proceedures for getting it to run off the microdrive instead. I have the full package - DVD + miniSD.
I tried copying the entire 1GB miniSD to a folder on a 2GB one and trying to manually install from there. It does install but upon running claims it can't see any maps...grrr.
Regards

go Tiger!!!
you need to put the maps in the root folder of the sdcard/microdrive
pocket mech
pocket mechanic can move programs from one drive to another, cleaning up the registry, links etc.
but can it move programs from sdcard to another sdcard with only one sd-slot?
well you could still move it to the microdrive first and then change the cards.

well, if you're just upgrading cards.. do it on the pc, with a cardreader to/from your HD.. much faster

Hi guys,
Does someone know how i can use my touch dual as a storage card.
What i meen is that when u plug to youre pc, that it can be used like a memory stick. Without activesync.
I know that this can be some phones, but i dont know how.
Thanks anyway.
Regards,
TMF
You can do it by "CardExpord" (Shareware)
But PC will see only Memory Card, it can't be used for internal phone memory
A tool for the same usage is nueMassStorage and this tool is freeware!
Search for it through the "Development and Hacking" subforum!
Heh, i didn't know about this tool.... thanks again
Hey all, question, I dont know if its my setup since I have the drivers that let me read linux formatted drives in WinXP however, after I got the memory card formatted to the fat/ext2, if I try to connect my G1 to the USB and "mount" it doesnt show up in WinXP to work with. Now in Ubuntu (Which is where I worked on the format etc) it shows up fine. Just need to know if there is a solid way to work with the Fat part of it in Windows to add files or If ill need to use Ubuntu now. Also I wanna upgrade my 2GB to a 4GB, can the files just be transfered over to the 4GB and the G1 would still read everything just fine? Or would doing that screw something up? Just making sure before I do. =)
Thanks for any help.
Poke anyone? I know alot of you have your apps installed on the SD. =/
this thread should of been added to ONE of those APP2SD thread.. might as well format the whole SDCard FAT32 and EXT2...
Fat32 - copy everything to ur comp
EXT2 - they are just apps that u can go to market and download it agian.
Well I do have it Fat32, But the question is, can I transfer the Fat32/EXT2 to another memory card formatted the same way? Or do I have to redownload?
Then still is the issue why I cant connect it to WinXP, Wont show up. =/
nope..
i have xp too and it won't show either.. like the new build(haykuro6.0) i wanna try it out, but i have to go to the process to backup my apps on the SD.. and just format the whole SDCARD.. but nah
this might help.. it tells u how to back up ur apps to the FAT32 part of the SDcard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3808858
im clueless on restoring the apps back
Well let me specify, I have the fastboot drivers put in too since one needed that to mod the g1 and push files etc. So unless there is a way to do both? So I think with the drivers for fastboot and so, it wont read as a removeable storage.
Now I can use Ubuntu (Linux) to Move the EXT2 to another EXT2 but not sure if the cache and data will work the same?
Dear All, please help me here...
today I try to copy a number of files into the MD of Athena... yet it hanged in the middle of the process....
Now... even I have tried formatted the harddrive... The file explorer still can't show the Microdrive..
What can I do now? Thanks...
try removing the battery and see how it goes. if the problem persists, sorry mate but you may have to do a hard reset.
hope that helps
Thanks.. but that doesn't work as well
In settings choose >microdrive>format my microdrive, if I remenber clearly when the drive is not found there should be an option >find microdrive or something, choosing that option softreset the device and find the drive for you.
If that doesnt work perhaps WM5torage may find it for you and then you could format it from your computer (remenber to choose the right drive, you dont want to format the SD card.
other than that you could try pocket mechanic or similar programs.

I would try the wm5stoage option first as doing the first will wipe all info on the drive.
cheers lakeman
also do a search for format options as there is an old thread that discusses this
It doesn't have that option.. when I try to format it... it says .. Microdrive can't be accessed
Sorry... mind directing me to that formatting MD post? I had done a search on it but hardly find related info...
Thanks truly lots
The best i can go is to bought back a drive call "mounted volumn" with about 3mb inside

goto start/settings/system/format microdrive.
in the screen that says format microdrive , click the down arrow and tap recover microdrive
It should prompt you to recover microdrive if it can't be found and warns that the data will be erased.
do a search in the athena forum for format microdrive and look for posts from eaglesteve
Sorry that I have ploughed throught posts to hunt for solution but still problem persist..
I have tried:
- WM5storage... Not able to detect the microdrive with or without WMDC
- Cardexport 3.12... The same
- Rom upgrade and downgrade... the same..
- setting\format microdrive.... only wm6 has the option of recovering the MD... so I tried.. but still.. not useful after the reset..
Please help or I will have to hv the serviceman ready... Thanks anyway
Try pocket mechanic maybe it can see it , you can try it free for a period, other than that....., drives do fail, my previous athena had a MD solid as a rock, my current athena MD is positively crap to the point that I do not use it and I tried everything.
Good luck
Even Pocket Mech. doesn't see it... I have already given up hope and rely on the SD only
Microdrive present but can't see 8Gb
I can't see 8Gb or even 7.xGb anywhere on my Athena. Where should I see it? Can anyone help me, Thanks Derek
Start/Settings/System/Memory/Storage Card/MicroDrive
This should show you if it's recognized and usage,
if it's there.
Thanks
That's what I thought - so what's the problem if it only shows something like 80Mb in the Microdrive, please? Regards, Derek
I've had mine flash in and out of existance, try this...
Sync with your pc via ActiveSYNC, click on Explore (on the pc Activesync), then My device, then if showed the Microdrive, if so click on it and it re-populates the directory. Don't know how serious your problem is but it worked for me.
Good luck.
do you change sync settings?
if you do you should change it to option one.
Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC
if you don,t try this change from option 1 to 2 and again from 2 to 1.
hope it works.
Same problem... but solved!
Hello,
I just resetted my Ameo (Athena 100 with WM6 by T-Mobile, Germany) using the "Wipe device" function of "Sparus EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition" and in result I had neither access to the 8GB Microdrive nor to my 2GB MicroSD Card.
Both storage devices weren't shown in Sparus EveraWAN ... nor in WinCE Plugin for Total Commander, nor anyplace in the device itself (e.g. Memory settings, Explorer, ...)
The SD Card could be brought back by formatting it in an SD Card reader on my Win PC. The MD couldn't be formatted by the internal tools of the Athena. Neither a "secure delete" nor a factory default reset could help it.
I wanted to export the MD with WM5torage v1.90 but it even didn't start.
Solution:
I did as explained above: Control Panel>System>Format MicroDrive->"recover MicroDrive", followed the procedure (reboot and accepting the formatting).
The device rebooted, asked again to reformat, and then both my SD card and the MD returned back.
The point of data loss was no concern to me, because I just backed up all data and my intention WAS to RESET all storage.
Hope, nobody else needs this procedure, too.
Good luck! forcemaker

I would suggest it is time to do a hard reset which will wipe all the data from your machine.
Good luck!
