of cause, you need Pocket Mechanic. what do you need it for?

Before you change it,remember:YOU SHORTCUTs MAYBE WON'T WORK!
Use a Reg Editor(like Resco Registry etc.) to find this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\Folder
Change the default value to the name you want.
Soft-reset your PPC
Enjoy it!

Storage Card
,but now i have same like
"bereitgestellte datentrager" in German,not a Storage Card ?

Im having same kind of problems...
Anyhow: The value in registery shows "Storage Card" but when using file explorer, the real name of the inbuilt Diamond storage, is "Storage Card2". And of course I can't rename it directly because it's in use. Must be a simple solution for this but can't figure this out. Any easy way to correct the name?

Solved!
It had something to do with the new ROM edition I was using and the option to store attachments on a storage card. I uncheck the box "When available, use this storage card to store attachments", deleted the old "fake" storage card folders and did a soft reset --> problem solved huraah!

storage card has renamed itself to storagecard2

I've installed realplayer. I rebooted my wizard and upon reboot my storagecard has been renamed to storagecard2. therefore my shortcuts to programs installed on the storagecard do not run due to the 2. I've tried to rename the storagecard but it won't let me do it! any ideas how to force the rename back to its original?

Hi - yes this happened to me once - look in the root directory of the device there should be a folder called \storage card - probably empty and then your minisd card called storage card2. Delete the storage card folder - check first if there are any files in there, if so save them. Then soft reset and all should be well - no need to relabel your minisd card it will rename itself when you soft reset.

This happens if your device tries to write to the Storage Card when it isn't avaliable (either ejected or before the hardware is ready on boot). I had the happen several times when I was storing e-mail and temp files on my storage card.

tweaks 2k2
this happened to me aswell but this was due to a app...tweaks 2k2. this is a common bug with this app (see website if youn have app installed)

thanks guys problem solved now

Guys how did you fix this issue with tweaks2k2?
I have just tried 3.25 upgraded from 3.18 and it is now giving me this storage card2 issue... I havent changed any settings in tweaks2k2!
Any help would be appreciated... I have tried deleting the fake storage card dir and then resetting but still comes up with this problem... pls help.
Thanks.

Thanks guys! I was about to restore an old registry (which would not have helped) when I found this thread! Life saver!

Please guys and gals follow my articles - I've elaborated on the problem (and the solutions to it) several times; for example, at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...s_to_rename_itself_to_sd&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

I had the same problem and I had to perform full restore. Maybe could someone try to install the application to the main memory not on the card...

See if it will let you rename it then soft reset. It proberly wont let you delete it because there are some protected files in the folder.

MiniSD data disappeared, HELP!

Hey everyone,
for some reason, my MiniSD card looks empty all of the sudden.
didn't do anything special.
i just see a Outlook folder, and it had 1.8GB of music and programs.
when i click memory i see 1.8GB of 2GB used.
but i just dont see all my data.
what should i do to repair it?

If you have a card reader remove card from phone and put it in there, computer should see everything, then when you put it back in the phone it ought to be good.
otherwise just remove it reset the phone and then put it back in again, that might just about do it.

Well, that didnt work.
i ran StorageTools on it, but then it just deleted the rest of the missing files and gave me the whole miniSD as empty.
so i did a hard reset and reinstalled all my software
and today it happened again
all the data is lost again
what do i do?

I have the same! Once in a while I loose files from my storagecard. I have to reinstall the programs.
I made a copy to my PC, so I can copy back if again I loose files. But I really don't know why this strange behaviour happens.
Maybe it's the card itself?

So its not even just me
anyone else had this issue? found how to solve it? i had it day after day.
do you also have the problem where the card looks like it hasent recovered the space?

It's an old problem. If you use search, it turns up few dozens.
Are you using WM6 or WM5? WM6 reportedly has better driver support for SD(HC).

I'm using WM5.
2GB cards arnt SDHC?
i tried searching but didnt find anything that looks like that problem.
want to help me out with a link?

I have this file loosing problem with WM6 and WM5, but not so often, maybe once or twice a month.

Hmm... it was reported that WM6 would solve this problem but it turned out that it's not true.
Perhaps you guys should try the application called sdsentry, which would save your day.

happened to me a few days ago.. something to do with losing power and killing the file allocation table (or something like that).. I used a program called 'GetDataBack for FAT' and got almost everything back.

MiniSD Data dissapearing workaround
1. Stop ALL programs running from miniSD (plugins, background progs, etc.)
2. Trinity On, remove miniSD card.
3. Soft reset Trinity.
4. Using File Explorer (since this could be the only option available), DELETE the "STORAGE CARD" directory.
4. POWER OFF Trinity.
5. Insert miniSD card
6. POWER ON, voila!
Use it at your own risk, it worked for me just fine.
For Admin: Since thius is a pretty common issue for Trinity owners it may be a good idea to make the message STICKY.
Cheers, Fanelul

Yeah this is a pretty common problem. I had a patriot 2gb nonSDHC card once which had this problem, recurred all the time, changed to kingston and never had it again.
This is probably gonna be your best choice unfortunately.

I had the same issue some days ago with my Trascend 2GB , that's what I did:
1- via a card reader I saved all data in the minisd to a tempdir on my desktop
2- reformatted minisd in FAT
3- copyed all files again from the tempdir to the minisd and reinserted in my Trinity
4- All my files are back again
This help only if you can see your files on the desktop via the card reader..obviously..
Bye

fanelul,
how can you delete the "STORAGE CARD" directory since you removed the miniSD card before? As you know when you remove the card the directory disappear from file explorer list..
Bye

I've had this problem twice.
What I did when data diasppears was:
1) soft reset
2) use the file explorer of ppc
3) you should see 'storage card' AND 'storage card2'
4) delete 'storage card' and leave 'storage card2' alone
5) soft reset
6) you should get everything back whe the ppc reads 'storage card2' as the offset storage card when it changes back to 'storage card' minus the '2'
Hope this helps many.

isnt the case
Hey, this isnt the case, sorry.
i dont have Storage card2.
anyway, i just got this thing again
this time i lost all the folders on the miniSD
but the files that were flat on the miniSD are still there
i think ill try buying a new miniSD card.
if that dosnt work ill send the Trinity for repairs.

Hi,
I've same problem since I use a PNY 2 Go sd card.
To solve it quickly I switch off the screen (hard button on the right top), remove and replace mini SD, and it's ok.
No problem with my 1 go....
After my christmas trip I'll replace Wester_Europe map by French_map and burn my 2go card....

I had a similar problem too. But not all the data disappeared from my minisd.
I used to store images taken from the camera in the rootSD/MyDocuments/images.
My Trinity deleted ALL the data inside the MyDocuments directory, and the data inside Windows directory.
This happened after a soft reset. My Trinity was frozen and i had to soft reset through the lower button.
When it turned on again didn't find any of the programs installed.

Cannot delete file with question mark in it

Somehow an installation file became named PocketPuTTY_WM2k3_release_?007-02-28.zip I don't know how the question mark got there, but now it won't let me delete it. What do I do? Won't let me rename it, either. Total Commander doesn't work either.

Sounds like it is corrupt. Have you tried a soft reset?

If you mean holding down the power button and restarting it, then yes.
When I try to rename it to remove the question mark, it says "A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: \/:*?"<>|"

Can anyone help me with this? The file is named PocketPuTTY_WM2k3_release_?007-02-28.zip

Hi endolith,
Is the file on the device or on the memory card, if it's on the memory card then copy everything onto your PC and format the card then copy it all back.
Just a thought.

Yeah it's on the device. I downloaded a thing that turns the device memory into a USB storage device, and I can access it in Linux and see the bytes, but can't mount it as a drive. I think it's not formatted with a normal file system.

[deleted double post]

That's a good idea to use WM5torage to try and delete it.
You could try deleting it with Total Commander for Pocket PC but if that fails it may be hard reset time. Perhaps that would be the best thing anyway as I had a problem similar to this on the MiniSD card and never trusted it again until I formatted it but it seems like a drastic measure just to remove one file.
Good luck.

Tried that too. I wonder if there's another file manager that can do lower-level things.

Maybe I can use WM5torage read/write and use a byte editor? Or maybe there's a low-level memory editor available for WM5.

Yes, indeed, if you can find something that will alter the file allocation table then perhaps you could replace the dodgy character in the file name, leave the hard reset as a last resort.

Use a MiniSD card reader or WM5Storage and use the MSDOS commandline interface to delete the file by using wildcards.
e.g., from start/run/cmd.exe
Code:
z: (or whatever drive your SD card is in)
cd "\directory name\with quotations\if you use spaces"
del PocketPutty*.zip

WM5torage doesn't seem to be able to turn the main memory into a drive, though. It creates 3 partitions, but none of them seem to be mountable.

wrong sd card path when i want to install

hello,
if i want to install a applikation on the sd card it says that it can not do.
In the past I changed my sd card so it bekome a new name as sd2 but i think in the registry would be the old name of sd1 so i cant install applikations.
Does anyone knows the place in the registry ?

Is it because there are files already there that need to be overwritten?

Moreover,
there should be a folder named " sd1 " already exist right? And it will come back again even you had deleted it after softreset.... right?
if the answer is yes, you need to do some reg. tweak before you can do anything......
remove your storage card,
1. use reg software (for me I feel more safe for editing the registry) like SKTools...,
2. remove all tweaks that pointed to the storage card, e.g. Internet temp. files, messages...,
3. softreset,
4. delete the sd1 folder,
5. softreset,
6. power off,
7. insert THE sdcard (Prophet will POWER on automatically, and you will find your sd card with the name it should be ~~~
GOOD LUCK ~~~:
