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

I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please

1GB card detected as 135MB-Problem Solved

I have a problem, the SD card works, the device asked me to format it, but after the format my S100 detects it as a 135 MB card. I don't have a card reader to try formating the card in it , but while in the phone i tried to format it from my PC - no change - after the formating it's still detected as 135MB. How can I fix this?
I've tried Resco Explorer, Softick CardExport II<both format on the device and from my PC in card export mode> and Pocket Mechanic<both in FAT16 and FAT32> - all the three of them detect it as 135 MB card. The card is working great with Universal, and in camera the card is working too, so it's OK and it's realy 1 GB....
the brand is 1GB PQI hi-speed 133
============================
S100
1GB PQI hi-speed 133x
R 1.13.00
G 1337.43
D 1.13.00 WWE

Subject: 1GB card detected as 135MB????? HELP ME PLEASE
Hi use this app inside the windows with a card reader,
CompuApps SwissKnife V3 3.22
link: http://software-files.download.com/...48&siteId=4&edId=3&pid=10485574&psid=10070864
good lock , [/quote]

10x, pal, as soon as i 've tried i'll write what's the result.

There's some kind of problem- Swissknife gives me an error when I try to run it under Windows XP SP2. During the install there were no errors. But the program crashes everytime I start it up... I've downloaded again from the developers site reinstlled it and - nothing - it gives me the same error again. everytime I run it I end up witjh the MS error reporting tool...

Problem Solved
IT WORKED. I've just needed to restart my PC. The card is shown now as 955MB card. Great tool. I've even succeded without the card reader-used Softik Card Export II and formated the card via the USB directly on my Qtek

Storage card: Not Installed

Hello Everybody !,
I bought a HTC Touch (ELF) about 2 years ago.
HTC has 1GB SanDisk microSD card. About 2 weeks ago stored card was run but now its not running.
When i click Start > Settings > System > Memory > Storage Card HTC display a message "Total storage card memory: Not Installed"
The operating system windows mobile 6.0
I tried soft format and hard format and I formatted storage card with FAT file system on my pc by using microSD adapter.
But same error again "Total storage card memory: Not Installed"
I guess storage card slot is damaged But i didn't drop my phone im using my phone very careful...
I searched and tried other xda-forum suggestions but they didn't work...
Please help me.
P.s.: I cant speak english well. I tried explain my problem...
Best Regards,
Thank You

If my sd card corrupt i guess it couldnt work on my computer but i can run on my computer also i tried another sd card (8GB Toshiba) but didnt work again

2 ways you can do right now, since the sd card corrupt thing is out of the picture.
- Flash to Windows Mobile 6.1 and try again
- Send back to HTC for repair for SD Card.

Device slow incerdibly down when memory card is full

Hi, if I really fullfill my storage card (4GB SDHC), system shows it is 3,6GB and used is 3,6GB, then device is incredibly slow. It is unusable.
I have Rafyvitto_Acer_s200_LEO_23519_BlacK_NeO_v.3.0 firmware.
Do you have same experience or is problem only in my device or card?
Thanks Kenia

4. put sd card back to S200, check the card work without delay.

I deleted about 100MB and everything is OK. Only want to know, if it is hw or sw problem. I guess that system creates something like content index on memory card and if there is not enough free space, system cycles. But as i wrote, it is only my supposition.

MiniSD card format

Hi Friends!
I've faced a very strange problem... One day my MiniSD card is crashed... All information is lost and device doesn’t see the card inside.
Utility to format the SD card isn't presented in standard programs. Format can be done using Resco explorer. I've installed it in internal memory and tried to format my SD... unsuccessful. I've formatted SD in PC using adaptor.
Now device can recognize the SD card but I still can't format it.
I have installed all software today but afraid that the SD will crash tomorrow…
Is it available, generally, to format SD card in HTC HD? May I need to but a new one?

Shalom, just to boost your question: No, I don't think you can format an SD card in htc (hit the cell ). I had been looking for the same before and didn't find it. But hang on, there might be people who know it better.

There should be a clear / format sd storage option in your WM settings. using windows to format it is just as good
