Hi guys,
I know that there was couple of similar threads around, but did not find any solution. So I am reopening this issue again.
SD card in my magician is getting formatted without any reason.
Looks like problem with FAT.... If I use some data recovery software, I can save the data from the card.
I have tried all the hints from the other threads like registry edit, format SD card in magician, etc....nothing helped.
It shoudl not be firmware problem, couse i have tried 3different ones.
Tested with different SD card and gets broken as well
Magician is fresh installed, only Tomtom and SBH pocket plus.
Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks!

k well if you tried the search function most common problem with Fat cards is the partition gets corrupted, get some partition management software delete the current SD card partition and put a new one in (suggest you will probably need a card reader)
i do it at least once a week to keep my card spring time fresh and nice and fast.
hm...that means reformat SD card once a week? thats pain? Is it only WM3 problem or WM5 has the same issue as well? thanks
no i rebuild the partition, it just depends on what you do with ur card and how big it is.
ive got a 2 gig partition that is full of all sorts of things (also regular supply of movies and MP3) so my partition is in need of constant repair, i also use Fat32 instead of Fat16.
but from what you say i would recomend at least fixing it once and see how that goes.
Hello! Although this is my first post on the forums, I have been reading extensively through these forums for the past ferw weeks since my acquisition of my new to me MDA (i.e wizard G3). Yesterday, I took out the sd card for a few hours and now when I put the card back in the wizard is not recognizing the sd card in the file explorer. I put the card in the PC and it is recognized fine there. I reformatted the sd card via FAT and inserted it back into the wizard but no luck. I soft reset the phone several times but in vain. I then eventually hard reset the wizard and THEN inserted the sd card but still not read. I tried going through the My computer--> Manage --> Disk Management but the sd card is not showing up on it.
The sd card is clicking in and out fine from the wizard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. All my medical programs were on the SD card. And with that many programs I cant just work off of the memory.
Thanks in advance

update
I installed the wm5storage and the program does not recognize the sd card either
Update
-Tried formatting to FAT with computer and re inserting did not work
-Tried Formatting with WM5storage and THAT didnt work either
-CID unlocked the phone, installed 3.08 ROM, and then "Crossbow reloaded" with 2,19 UK Radio Rom, tried inserting the sd card and still not work
-Tried formatting with "Flash Format" and the program says "no storage card detected"
I am thinking that I may have damaged the pins or something when I was reinserting the SD card, initially when I noticed the problem
2 options in front of me now!
1. buy another mini SD card and see if that works
2. Open up the Wizard to see if it is a hardware issue
Opinions etc would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Ive got the same problem with my Qtek 9100
hi i had a near identical problem occur with my xda mini, as in after removing and reinserting my sd card it was not being recognized. i happened to have a old mini sd card (only 64mb tho!) and that was recognized. so i just bought another 2gb sd and its been fine ever since, but saying that i have not removed it from my mini yet! which is getting a little annoying now as i was given a copilot kit and the software is on a mini sd card
Try removing all formatting and then allow the phone to format your card. I had a problem with my second MiniSD card after formatting on my PC.
Insert your card into your card reader. Right click "My Computer" and click on "Manage". Then left click "Disk Management", find your card and delete the partition. At this point, you can then stick the card into the phone and it will ask if you would like to format the card. Even though the computer will not recognize the card, your phone will.
Snapin Disabled
I tried the approach of right click my computer--> manage --> disk management --> but it tells me that the snappin is disabled and when I go into start--> run--> gpedit.msc --> to enable the disk management it still does not recognize my storage card in the disk management. Hence I am unable to remove the partition.
Thanks for the replies guys, any suggestions on how to enable the specific snapin on XP?
Thanks

New Mini SD Card
OK, so in attempts to diagnose the problem, I went out today and purchased another 1gb minisd card, inserted it into the wizard and................NOTHING. Still no luck. Does this narrow down to the problem to a hardware pin related issue? Or could this still be a software problem. I figured that a new sd card may resolve the issue but unfortunately not, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations?
Thanks in advance

If you tried another card and a new ROM, I would say it is a hardware issue, if it's still under warrantee then I would send it in. If it's not and you want to try to fix it yourself, there is the HTC wizard maintenance manual (Google search) that will give you step by step instructions on how to disassemble it. Or sell it on eBay then use the money to buy a new one.
i got 8gb memory card with my hd phone,it's 2 months old.suddenly memory card dosen't work on my phone. file manager does not show memory card even my phone shows the message 'install storage card'. now i am really worried,it seems like a big problem.i tried to another memory card but still shows the same issue.
plz suggest me how to get rid of it?.what to do now...............? .
same here..
for 6 months i hadnt got any problem.. but now the phone isnt recognizing the storage card
Use one of these to format your SD-card again:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
I want to format it.. but I want to back up it first because I have a lot of things that I dont want to lose.. But even my pc, doesnt shows me the storage card.. doesnt recognize it, to back up it..
please help..
If even card reader on PC can't recognize contents of SD, you can probably throw away that SD...
But, for last chance, try to read it with SD reader which came with SD card (if that was a case) or on another PC...
I will try my SD card in another phone... i havent SD reader.. I havent done anything to my phone.. It was ok, when I woke up and my phone didnt recognize my SD..
I heard about a program called restoration.. search for this..
maybe this can help me?.. format my SD, and then restore my things on SD again?
sooner or later all sdcards die be sure to backup important data from your sdcard to your computer once in awhile
My experience....
I see a number of comments about this problem in the Touch HD so I will share my experiences.
My HD quit recognizing the memory card some time ago. Occasionally I could re-install a ROM and get it to function briefly. As soon as I installed programs on the card, the links would disappear and the card would become unreadable. I tried different cards, I tried new cards, I formatted the card on my PC, I ran task29 to clean ROM memory prior to installing a new ROM and I I tried the stock HTC ROM. The micro SD cards are always perfectly functional and readable on my PC and on other devices including a friend's Touch HD.
After all of this, I gave up and I now use the HD without a memory card. I have become very frugal with memory useage!
If anyone discovers a fix for this malady, your solution would be greatly appreciated.
I searched.. and the only I found is that we have, as soon as we get our new SD card, to do a FAT32.. so it will not have a lot of problemss
If the card is formatted correctly, and is recognisable in a PC and other devices, then it's more than likely to be a hardware issue.
I know, because one of my devices is also broken exactly like this. It's likely the SIM/SD Comboboard, but I've never found a supplier for spares . . anyone know of anywhere?
Hello guys,
Same problem with touch hd. tried everything mentioned. task29, different roms, other sd-cards, reformatting etc... still no luck!
hope someone is going to find a solution soon!

disapearing micro SD
I also had the same problem some time ago when connecting to pc through USB opting for disc drive connection and not using the sync button, then solved the problem when I flashed a new ROM.
Regards,
I also have this problem.
I've had the 8GB SD Card for about a year now and untill now, its always worked without a problem.
I installed a Topix Rom this weekend. I also installed most of my programs to the storage card.
Within a day it was dropping in and out. I am able to see the card, but not run any mp3's off it.
When the card drops out, I can either take the card out and reinsert it or restart the phone and the card is visible again. It still cant play mp3s or videos though.
Anyone else having this problem since they've installed a new Rom?

Spares for hardware fault
Just to add, as I said previously about my device, the SDCard reader was faulty, and HTC Europe refused to supply the part without a HTC Service Centre repair.
For anyone else having hardware issues, I managed to source the part from China, and now it's working perfectly again after a simple repair.

Hello fellow members of this forum. I have a Htc hermes and in the description of the phone(on Cnet.com) i clearly saw that the storage memory of the phone can be backed up by a microSD card. My question is why then when i install apps to the microSD card, does it take up space on the device as well? why can't the amount of apps able to be installed be limited by only the size of the microSD card?
Also why can't Gameloft games be installed to a microSD card? thanks guys for your response i'm sure it will help others too!
Shortcuts and other system stuff seem to be added, registry etc... Works fine otherwise even when doing a hard reset most apps will still work, some don't though...
Have always been able to install gameloft to sd card...
I removed my storage card from my T-Mobile USA HD2, when the phone was powered on thinking the phone was powered off, put card in a reader/writer, discovered the phone was on so I powered phone off, meanwhile while card was in the reader /writer I added a new cab to storage card it then put it back in my phone, powered phone on and attempted to run the cab but the cab would not run. I discovered that I could not even re-install any cabs that were on the card. (Although all the programs on the card still run without any problem). Since I didn't turn the phone off before I did this, nothing on my storage card seems to link even though all programs run without any problem. Now I can not add any new programs to the storage card. Is there a way to recover from this without the long tedious process of a hard reset? Any registry edits, etc?
Any help or thoughts are much appreciated!
Thank you,
Dubby

If it were me, I would copy everything on the card to my PC. Then I would format the card through Sense. Then move everything back. No need to hard reset yet.
