SD works on XDA not on PC? Why?

Hi all!
Quick (I hope) question.
I have a M1000 that I have been using with a Kingstone 128MB SD Card. I also have a PC with one of these multiple card reader built in (6-1 I think they call it).
When I put my Kingstone card in the PC 6-1 a window open automatically with the card content.
Now I have finally bought a 1GB SD card from Billionton (48x) on eBay.
When I put the Billionton in my PDA everything seems fine, I can see the card and record on it.
When I put the card in my PC it can't read it at best, if I try to turn it on with the card inserted windows get stuck before login... (I am using XP)
I can see the GB card only through ctive Sync.
What can be the reason for it? Updating the drivers on my 6-1 is not an option... I have already looked for them...
If the solution is "formt the card" can u suggest a SW that I can use from my PDA?
Thank you!
Chris

Formatting Mini Sd Card

Hey do any of you know how to format an SD Card? I flashed my old rom onto my 2gb sd card and really dont want to let this go to waste. is there a way to reformat this card so that my MDA will recognize it? Thanks in advance for any response.

you can use your pc to reformat a card [if you have a card reader]
or you can use your ppc to do it. resco has a format card thingie. or you can get another app [I use Storage Tools from Softwinter]

Got it. Thanks.

[Q] CM7 on SD Card (nook Color) - PC asks to format

Hi - need some help! I have a nook color, and flashed the CM7 (7.0.2) to SD card, using verygreen's instructions. All instalation went OK in NC, but when i put the SD back in the PC to copy the GApps, the PC pops a message saying that I have to format the card to make it usable. Any ideas on how to avoid this, or am i missing something?

Hi Kitila thanks for your reply. Could you pls provide some more detail on how to do it? I'm a bit new in all this and am afraid i might mess something up. Thanks!

CM7 on SD Card (Nook Color) - PC asks to format card for GApps
Hi,
I am having this exact same problem. I have tried to search for an answer, but only found this thread. Unfortunately, as a noob, I am also having trouble understanding what the one reply means.
The issue: I am able to put the CM7 on my 16GB sandisk microsd card. I am able to put the nightly on the microsd card. I then can get CM7 to load nicely on my Nook Color. However, when I then remove the sd card from the Nook Color and put it back in the computer in order to install GApps, I get a message telling me that I need to format the SD card. As I understand it, formatting the SD card will erase the CM7.
Can anyone walk me through (or point to a walk though of) a fix for this problem.
Thank you in advance. This is such a valuable resource.
Dan

Try using a USB card reader.
Cheers,
kev

Use of English would be nice!

Thanks much, Kev. Do you think that's it? Weird. I'll need to pick up a USB reader tomorrow. I'll report back.
Thanks!
Dan

Kev,
That worked. Thanks so much!
For those in the future that are having problems with their computer wanting to format the microsd card every time it is inserted, try using a usb microsd card reader instead of the slot in the computer.
Thanks!

Flash Android WITHOUT SD card?

Is there any way or any android roms that can be flashed WITHOUT the use of an SD card?
My SD card is currently unrecognized on my windows 7, CWM and WM6.5 after unsuccessful attempts at installing the latest WP7 Mango (I also tried unlocking my SD card, but it failed to detect card). By unrecognized I mean that the system CAN'T SEE IT AT ALL, like there is NO SD CARD INSERTED.
I heard that android 'could' recognize cards that are otherwise unrecognizable and be able to fix it. It's my last and only hope left to save my SD card.

Only some devices can unlock the sd cards..
See the win7 section of hd2

Hrm.. I don't think my SD is locked though, if it was then XBmod's unlocker would've worked and unlocked it. It's just that my SD card isn't detected at all...

Oh okay use a SD Card reader and format it with "sd formatter"

I had the same problem with my SD card, turned theres a difference between micro SD and micro SDHC, well mine and many other older card readers do not recognize this SDHC type at all.
good luck

I got a adapter for that when I bought my micro sdhc card.
Maybe you get one

i did to, but apparently my (built-in) card reader was too old, it wasnt the shape or adapter or anything, it just wouldnt recognize it - but at least it taught me a lesson, always nand backup and careful with the wipes

[Q] Hot swapping SD cards?

Can you hot swap SD cards on an HD2 running WP7 and DEV_STORAGE.cab?
I have two HD2's.
One I had to send in to t-mobile, but I still have the locked SD card.
I tried.... and found out, that I can not boot my new HD2 with that locked SD card, so my question is can I swap them out after I'm booted into WP7 and then unlock the sd card via the DEV_STORAGE.cab?

you cant hot swap.... sd card is WP7 storage memory... if you want swap cards you must do hard reset....
for unlock card use DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab

Thanks.. that's what I was thinking.
So just to be clear, flashing a new ROM will reformat the SD card even if it's already locked by a different WP7 ROM?
