My WinXP can't identify the microSD card in my Legend
I have been able to HTC Sync my legend with my laptop but I don't want to sync Outlook for now, so it doesn't matter
What i want to do is copy data to and from my microSD card to my laptop
The problem is that WinXP doesn't seem to have HTC/Android drivers, and whenever I try to connect, it identifies the phone as "Android device" and prompts to install drivers which I do not have
How can I make my WinXP identify & read my microSD card?
have you tried using a card reader?
cheers, stephan1
or you could download the newest active sync / windows mobile device center

Hello
My Touch HD can't read microSD cards anymore. One day I noticed that Storage card is missing from File Explorer. I put that card (an 8 Gb SanDisk SDHC) into my laptop's card reader and all I found out is that the card has bad sectors that cannot be recovered. So I bought another 8 Gb microSD which works OK with my card reader and my Polaris but the HD doesn't read it. When I connect the HD to my laptop I get the USB2PC popup where I have de Disk Drive option and if I select it nothing happends. What could be wrong?
ROM: 1.56.479.0
Radio: 1.13.25.24
SPL: 1.54 SSPL
I got mine to work by using

No problems since.

@Andrew
Nope... still nothing...
Ok check the pc to usb.
Check on the HD Start/Settings/Connections/USB to PC
UNCHECK Enable faster data sync
Boot your pc and HD then try the USB connection again.

I already did that and nothing happened...
Ok can you connect with Activesync to the Hd storage ?
@bigdish
I can connect ActiveSync to the internal storage only. The computer cannot read the microSD card unless i plug it in the card reader via an adapter. Nor the disk utility tools can't read the card through the usb cable connection, no mather which type of connection I choose in the USB2PC popup.
Mmm
My problem was different to yours - I cound see the card in the HD but the file info was garbage - my pc cardreader could not read it so thats why I suggested flash format which cured my problem.
Have you tried soft reset on the HD without the card then insert it again ?
@bigdish
Even hard-reset it with the card taken out. I cannot understand what the problem might me and I am thinking about sending it to service. I am starting to think that this ain't a software problem
Hi, I having a problem where it either takes ages (more than 3 mins) for windows to recognise the SD cards when I connect via USB, or else doesn't recognise there is any external storage connected to the PC..seems to happen on different PC's so it seems to be an issue with the SGS (my old G1 always works fine).
When I connect to the PC, It asks which type of connection i want, I select Mass Storage and then mount the SD card.
Edit: and when it DOES recognise the card, There are no files listed in it....
Edit: THis also happens when connected to Kies...both cards appear empty
Have you tried to use "Mass storage" option instead of "Ask on connection"?
Yeah, tried both. Now no XP machine will recognise phone...
Tried it on Ubuntu and works straigth away
First i would like to thank you all for some interesting reading
i have just recieved my DHD and love it, my problem is that my sd card shows up just fine on the phone telling me i can unmount it and available space blah,blah, on the same screen when i connect it to the pc running windows 7 as soon as i select disk drive the sd card is un-mounted and then it is not visible in windows explorer also i have removed the sd card and placed it in my pc manualy and sits there looking for drivers
thanks in advance Mick
I assume you have selected "DISK DRIVE" from the drop down list that appears when you connect a USB cable? If so, this is most likely a Windows driver problem. So you might need the HTC drivers.
If you install HTC Sync (found on the card supplied with the phone) that should install the appropriate drivers. If it's not there, go to the HTC website and download latest HTC Sync version.
Can you try a USB stick or a standard card in the card reader of you PC and see if they work?
It could be a faulty SD card, I had problems with the one sent with my phone and had to replace it. All working ok now.
hi thanks for your reply i have done all of the above but still no joy, if the sd card was faulty i would assume it wouldnt work with the phone at all, the only thing i havnt tried is install the htc syn on my laptop to see if its a windows 7 issue or issue with my setup
otherwise i will have to wait and see what htc say about my issue
Cheers
Mick
Wait so let me get this right...
SD card in phone - Works
SD card in phone, hooked to computer using USB and selecting Disk Drive - Does not work (cannot see in Windows)
SD card directly in computer - Does not work...
Sounds like your issue is with Windows, not with HTC or your SD card...
Are you on a work computer by any chance? Can you plug normal USB flash drives in OK?
Either you're missing the Mass Storage driver or it's been disabled on your computer.
Running on WP7
now trying to activate Windows Live ID
But when i plug Usb to my phone it doesnt work .
is it my sd card doesnt compatible ?
San disk 8GB class 2
When U flash WP7 with SDcard ，WP7 will RE-format the SDcard to an unknow partition（be part of the wp7），so when you connect it to your PC ，it can not be recognize. but if you use a cardreader ，you'll find a 200MB-size partition ， and it can be used。
the only way to back your normal card you need to formar you SD with some software，like “Panasonic SDFormatter”（free）
do you launch zune on your computer or not?
usb in WP7 is very freaky it only works when zune is launched
even then you can only sync through zune that is a bit of pain
hope they fix this in next builds
yeah i did launch zune already , probably i need to format my sd card first and try again.
Thanks
Still Fail
format my Sdcard already
but the problem still there #%@$
when i open windows mobile device centre.. my phone doesnt connect to my pc..
My Trophy 7 stopped working in Zune a little while back - it just won't install as a recognised device on the computer.
So I decided to get a new phone but I want to keep my files from the Trophy, so I bought an SDHC card reader and took the card out of the phone only to find when I plug it in the SDHC card reader it won't appear on my computer.
The card reader lights up to say there's a card there - just my computer doesn't like it.
The card reader picks up a standard 2GB SD card and it's definitely an SDHC card reader as I checked the packing (providing the packaging isn't lying).
I'd really like to get my files off the card. As far as I'm aware you can't access the files directly when the SDHC card is in the phone, but seeing as it's now in an adapter I don't see why it won't appear on my computer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can access these files?
P.S. I've tried EaseUS to see if that picks it up too.. It doesn't

You cannot pull files off of the card in this manner. Windows Phone uses a proprietary file system that Windows cannot access. I suggest replacing the card into your Trophy for now, and we can try troubleshooting the Zune connection. I'm assuming the Trophy was otherwise working correctly.
It is most likely your computer that is at fault for it not being recognized in Zune. After reinstalling the card into the Trophy, make sure the phone boots properly. Connect it to your PC and open device manager, and see if the phone is appearing at all, and whether or not it is installing a driver for it. Also, was your Trophy running a custom rom, or was it stock?
If all else fails and we can't get Zune running, you can put the phone on wifi and upload pictures and some files to SkyDrive.
