When i try to delete some apps from my storage card, they seem to be deleted, but when i reconnect to my computer they reappear in the same place as they where... (and they take up the same ammount of space as before, but i can't run them anymore) I already tried to format the card, but it gives an error: "windows cannot format this device" (or something like that)
Is this card broken or is there a solution to this? HELP
Thanks

Try to format the card from your device.
If this still doesn't work, try to find a SD-convertor and format in a digital camera.
Grtz,

First try a HardReset (after SoftReset).
I had similar problems, and I could solve it
with a HardReset.

a hard reset shouldn't affect the sd card in any way.

Sometimes it does. I could not read/write to the card,
after a HardReset I could.

ah yes, but thats the phone, the OP said the PC is seeing errors on the card. If he hard reset, the pc would still see the card as faulty, because a hard reset doesn't touch the card. Yours must have been something different.

I turned on my Hermes this morning and it started giving me a lot of errors on the today screen. They were errors regarding programs that were installed on the storage card and the device couldn't display everything (such as HTC Home, etc.) and locked-up. After a few soft-resets, still the same. I took out the card and put it in a card reader, but it seems that almost everything is gone from there and what's left, both files and folders, has weird names (»╣SöôdεÑ.z╕ë , ╔╞DGV)0.╡En , φE}░wx÷,.Γö6 , £#╚Ç3.3c, etc.). Also, the contents of the storage card show up as having 33.8 GB!!! How come?
What's to be done to recover my files?
I could hard-reset the device, but the data on the storage card is still gone! I don't care about the programs on it (I can reinstall those) but My Documents and other files that I had on it are important!!!

Try an application like memmaid or stk tools (or perhaps other people have better ideas/applications) to repair the content. Don't format the card yet!
Good luck

But there's nothing I can do with the device, since it locks-up, it doesn't synchronize with the PC... I actually had MemMaid installed, but the device does not respond. Also, MemMaid was installed on the storage card.
After hard-reset, device working, but still have the same problem with the storage card data (corrupted, lost?).

So install a 'repair utility' on the device and see what you recover on the SD card.
btw, I NEVER install an application on the SD card

I have MemMaid installed on device, now. What's next? There's no data recovery tool in it (is there?).
I always had lots of programs installed on the storage card and had absolutely no problems (until now). I usually do that because the device memory fills-up tooooo fast. I had my Hermes for about 1 1/2 years with no problems of any kind.

It can't run worse than it did before, but if that's your wish, just uninstall the cab and you should be alright!
HArd reset
back up all your data through active sync or use pim backup and then Do a hard reset of your HD, you can see the wiki for how to hard reset your device. that should get it to factory defaults and if you installed it on your sd card, copy all your data but not the programs folder and then format your sd card this should reset your sd card. hope this helps.

Stop the nonsense, xiyan2127!
After using the SD tuneup cab some of the applications that use CF3.5 stopped working.
Hey guys,
anyone having problems with their microsd card not showing in file explorer?
I'm using a SanDisk Microsd and it was working fine then disappeared.
It has been installed properly and WAS working.
I know its not the card as I have tried the card in a HTC Hero and it works fine. Also tried a 2gb microsd and it does not get recognised after disappearing from file explorer.
I have tried uninstalling programs to see if its a certain cab causing this but no luck. I have found that doing a hard reset restores the microsd in file explorer.
So far two hard resets have restored it but it seems to keep disappearing!!
Did you try another sd card?
It might be just card problem, if not....

Yeah tried a 2gb card that came with the HD2 but no luck
I mean it works after I hard reset but once it disappears HD2 won't recognise when I swap to a 2GB card.
Is this a bug? I don't think its a hardware issue as it shows when I hard reset.
Is your HD2 connected to the USB cable and PC when looking?
If so. Try again without the connection.
I thought I had a similar issue at first with mine - turns out, if I remove and re-insert the SD card - then open explorer and have it as high level view as poss (My Device) - Storage Card folder isn't there.....but then I scrolled to the bottom of the folder tree - and for some reason, once it's removed and re-inserted, the first time you use the explorer, it places that folder at the bottom (so off the screen) but it was there for me [once you've used explorer once and dont remove/re-insert card, it places the storage card folder back up the folder tree in usual place] - sounds like you have a more serious issue though if you've checked that and it's not even there.

No not connnected to USB.
I just did another hard reset and it shows again. I installed a couple of cabs (Touch X Task Manager, tnyynt SD Tuneup) and everything is working fine. I then decided to do a soft reset and it disappeared again.
EDIT: I actually just uninstalled tnyynt SD Tuneup and did soft reset and microsd reappears in file explorer...hmm will have to investigate further.
you have to hard-reset.
I have the same problem when installing the coreplayer...then my storage card disappears. It seems like a driver or something gets deleted or messed up.
hard-reset and you will be fine.
also don't forget to format your SD card once...I forgot this too...maybe that helps too.

I have hard reset but that is obviously not a permanent solution. It is not because of Coreplayer.
I have been using since uninstalling SD Tuneup and soft reset. Working fine for now so I assume it had something to do with using SD Tuneup with leo or wm6.5? Anyway will report back if any more dramas.
I can't find my SD card either seems that i have the same problem as you.. wtf to do??? have formated, an everything i know..

Mine seemed to be associated with software I installed (namely tynnnt SD Tuneup). After I uninstalled it and did a soft reset it reappeared in file explorer...

SD tuneup isn't designed for the qualcomm ..
the SD drivers are totally different on the Leo..

I installed tynnnt SD Tuneup in the beginning. Had a little bit probs with SD card in the beginning also, but yesterday when I moved some garmin maps over to the Sd card, it began stop working. performed a hard reset today and it's working again, but i would not install SD tuneup again this time
all of a sudden my phone is asking me to format my memory card, and the mc is not showing up on file explorer.
i didnt want to format it but in the end i had to . but still it says format memory card. and i still cant get into it .
can someone pls help on this as i have done everything i can think of
thanks in advance
have you been playing with the ramdisk tweaks? If yo dont set 'autoformat' it asks every boot.
If the memory card is not showing up and even does not after a format, your card could be bad ....
its time to change your card. your hd2 has corrupted your card. but don't worry you are not the only one having this problem. there are tons of users out there who got this prob.

firstly, i have nothing but trouble with adapters that the switch slides to write protect when you enter it in the reader slot. I ended up taking them all off, so double and tripple check that.
Secondly, if you go to control panel/administrative tools/computer management (or words to that effect, depending on windows version)
look for disk management, and find your sd card there. See what it says, it could be that you can format it from there, or rebuild teh partition.
(Better still if you have a partition manager program handy, see if you can force it to rebuild the partition on teh card.)
However in all likelihood, its a duff card. It seems to be an emerging theme with the leo, cards going bad.

You said something about memory card being BAD. What does it mean. When trying to make a partition, I saw something saying "bad disk" talking about my 32 gig MC.
I cannot reformat my MC and when tried, it says "windows unsuccessfully formatted the device". Any ideas on how to reformat my sd card friends?
I stopped using windows to format my sdcard as it does a mediocre job at best. All I use now is sdformatter. It does a much better job. I even had a card my hd2 said was bad and it revived it. Give it a try. I also use mini tool partition wizard for any and all partitioning required.
i have been using nand/zip android roms since the beginning but 2 days ago i got a disturbing issue and i tried many nand/zip roms both froyo and ginger with no luck
whenever i unmount then remount the sd card , gallery and music applications stop recognizing my media files
i currently work around this by copying all media files to new locations but this is really disturbing
can any one assist me please
I'd try backing up the SD, formatting it, then putting your files back on and seeing if the problem persists first

So you basically did a proper format like already advised. You obviously didnt do a proper oen before and maybe used windows standard full format etc.
In future if you wish to do a proper format of a SD card use Panasonic SD Card Formatter with following settings...
FULL (ERASE ON)
Size adjustment ON

I didn't know about this "Panasonic" program , although i did more than 4 hours of searching both in xda and google
anyway , i did try a proper format using a tool from site sdcard.org -or something like that- and it did take about the same amount of time with this "[email protected] kill disk" so I am not sure
anyway, the good thing is that it is now working
thanks anyway
hope you mentioned this program earlier
