I've got hold of a new MicroSD card, class 2 16Gb.
I've got about 6Gb of music which I want to copy across but I am having huge problems.
Firstly I tried using Windows Media Player sync function - but it only works for about 20 tracks and then stalls.
Copying the files directly using 'Disk' or 'ActiveSync' settings - look like everything is OK, but when I look at some of the contents of the folders they have wierd/scrambled names.
What is really puzzling me, is that I have both quick, and full, formatted the SD Card and the same folders are always messed up. I have tried every combination of copy method I can think of!!! The files are fine on my PC.
Copying the backup of the contents of my old SD Card onto the new one works fine.
Anyone else had this? Is it my SDCard that is screwed? Please Help!!!
no it's active sync and media player that are screwy. for best results put the card in a card reader on your pc, or if not available when connecting the phone to pc choose disk drive mode and copy it that way.
I'd say you got a faulty / "fake" card.

I thought I would never post 'coz I am very good at trying to look for issues I have with my MDA but my current dilemma had me really stumped. I have this "file" on my miniSD card named tE and is 1.5gig and I just can't delete it. It all happened when I installed emoze and sync'd with my Outlook. "My Documents" was deleted from my SD and this file came up but I just can't delete it. My MP3's and video files are gone but my sd card still reads the same amount of space like all my media are still present! Please help!
simple, get all ur files from the sd card, format it, and recopy them again...
or at least try to delete the file by connecting it to a usb card reader!!

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I tried that already and even used an sd adaptor to try to delete the file but all my efforts were futile. Copying all my files even gives me an error on my active sync. Everything seems to work though except for about 1.2gigs of files missing but still occupying my sd card.
right converted my dvd to a avi file and now got to put onto my memory card, but when i click copy it goes to copy it but when it gets half way it just re starts copying it again? is it cause the file is too big?
also how do i check how much memery space i got left on my memory card?
same problem
They only way I have found to copy mpegs or avi's to the mem card is to skip activesync altogether and use the adapter for my minisd card to plug into my laptop directly ( I have an sd port). If you dont have that you can buy a usb adapter that will do it. I then do a normal file copy to the storage card, place it back in the wizard and it works fine.
If you dont have an adapter for your memory card use wm5torage http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271652
I haven't dl'd any movies yet, but have had similar problems with large files. I have found that if you go to Tools->Options and uncheck Media, then Sync and disconnect and reconnect your device, it should not restart your Sync proccess midway.
After the file is dl'd, just reselect Media, and Voila!
Hope this helps!
I have all my pictures on my Cingular 8525 save to my SD card, a 1GB Kingston microSD.
I don't know when exactly i lost access to my pics, but i noticed right after i had synced the device, since i was trying to pull the pics off the card....Figures, as i am going to back up my photos i lose them before i can do it!
I tried to use active sync to browse to my SDcard and view the my pictures which are saved in my docs and the my pictures. When i opened my documents the folder kept showing up empty, i reset the device and the same result...so then i took the card out of the device and put it directly into my laptop and when i tried to open the "my pictures" folder that way, i get the message, "That file is not accesible...the file is corrupted and unreadable"
I'd be very grateful to any suggestions on what i can try to retrieve these pics, i had a lot on there and my friends are asking me to send them...THanks!!
same problem here....
You might like to try software like this http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/digitalphoto.asp. IMPORTANT: Make sure don't write anything to SD card now. Just use PC and the software to recover the images. Good luck...
Is there a Pocket PC program that i can install and try to do that without needing a desktop?

Try a data recovery program like GetDataBack and use a program that allows your PPC to export your microSD card like a USB JumpDisk, or plug it in to your pc's card reader if you have one.
I suffered from many corrupt storage cards when using spb insight on my wizard. I have to keep inserting and removing my card until i could see the corrupt files, once they show up i'd use GetDataBack and recover my card. Then format it and add the recovered data.
Hi,
About month ago I bought a new 16GB micro SDHC card from Kingston (product page at kingston.com/ukroot/flash/sdhc_micro.asp ) for my HTC Hero (GSM version). Since them I'm having a problems with copying and accessing my files from this card.
According to seller, this should be Class 6 card, here is the auction:
allegro.pl/kingston-microsd-16gb-class6-najszybsza-na-allegro-i1233201913.html
Getting to the point... Situation is like this:
(I tried all those things listed below under Froyd 1.5 and Villain ROM 12, with latest radio)
I connect my Hero to PC (on xp or ubuntu) and I copy files to card (...big deal . After that I wait for a few seconds and unmount the disk on PC and turn off USB MassStorage on Hero, then I unplug the usb cable. Card is then normally mounted. After that, when I try to access those files i.e.: via Astro, Music player or PDF reader, I cannot do this, because all copied files disappeared or sometimes they're are on the card but are corrupted and any app can't open them. Moreover all copied directories are there but all are empty.
I tried various ways to copy files: via adb, ftp, dropbox, recovery mode (amonRa 1.7). I even tried removing all spaces from dir and file names, it doesn't matter, but every time it's the same.
I also noticed a lot of files in LOST.DIR on card. I know that the system stores there files that weren't properly copied and/or card was unmounted too fast, but usually there is less files that I copied. I even tried to rename few of those files (that I know that were mp3 or pdf) and add mp3 or pdf extension to them, but music player or pdf reader showed error that file is corrupted or something similar.
I followed also tutorial from the unclockr:
theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-switch-to-a-different-microsd-card-on-android-when-using-swap-hero-and-or-apps2sd/ but with same result.
Any ideas, how to solve the problem? (beside returning the card to the seller?)
ps.
Cheers,
J
Ok, I think we can close this topic.
I checked this card in another telephone (different than at first time), and situation was the same.
I have to return this card to the seller.
I have two 16gb micro SD's and I've found a similar situation in both cards.
When I'm in usb data mode (either in Android or WM) files will NOT copy onto the SD card. It will show the file icon but there is no data there.
eg. I copy a song onto the memory card, I see the song name + icon on the card. Disconnect USB mode, and go to play the song... it's not there. The phone can't read it.
At the moment I've resorted to sticking my memory card into my N95 and copying data that way... so sad lol.
Any Suggestions/Ideas?
It could be that the data is not actually being written before you dismount. Make sure to properly stop the USB device. Its happend to me before. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

I had some similar problems, I ended up using micro sd in laptop to copy some files over. Or, I rebooted phone after sync and they were there.
