Using the phones file explorer. I moved it to the system 16g (took a while), then put in my 8 gig and moved it to the root of the sd card.....
Ive just heard people not able to and dont know if anyone else got it...
If so mods Please delete... I tried searching but its being wack.
I used Ubuntu to copy it from the 2gb card to my 4gb card and I can still play the movie on mine, no problem.
I moved it to an 8gb card with windows. just copy it on to a pc then the destination card
Yea, it works fine to move it around. Just make sure to move the whole "Movie" folder if you want the shortcut to keep working.

I just got a new microsd card, and I already have a 2gb one which came with the HD2.
Can I move everything from the 2gb card to the new one ?
I know images and videos will be moved with no problems, but what about the applications stored in the 2gb card, will they work ??

Yes mate - just copy it all across and it will work. Do it on your PC. I just copied my old card to a folder on the desktop and then copied that back to the new card. If you've got a seperate card reader then you can just copy from card to card. Either way, it's not an issue.
Thanks I just wanted to make sure before doing so.
Yeah I have a spare reader somewhere around I think, well thanks for your reply !!

I put something into it and only things in this folder i can see on my pc why? I would like to copy photos or music directly to the sd card...
can anyone help me?
If you try to access your SD card from the External drive folder called "SD" it won't work.
There are 2 drives actually for this phone when you plug it with USB, one is the External sdcard (the 6gb partition that comes with the phone) and the other is the microSD card. Both are in My Computer.

Im not using a USB Cable to acces the sd card, I put the card out of the phone into a cardreader and then I cant see any files on the card only the files in the folder called "sd" on the card but in the phone I see there more folders on the root of the sd card.
On the phone I see following folders in root of the sd card:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
Everything in this folder "sd" I can see on my pc but not the folders on the root of the sd card?
why?

That's because those files and folders you only see on your phone are in fact part of the internal memory and NOT from the microsd card.
The microsd card is in fact the folder named SD.
Your best bet and it is the one I personally use is to leave the card in the phone and attach your phone to the PC via USB.
Once you have 'mounted' the phone you will then see 2 (two) directories.
One directory will be the internal memory (roughly 5.6GB) and the other the microsd card.
On mine it shows as drives E & F.

Sorry on my phone it isnt that way.
On the root of my phone there is folder called "sdcard" in this one I can find this folders:
albumthumbs
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and one folder called "sd"
only things in the folder "sd" are visible on my pc. for ex. if i take a pic and store it by the cam app to the sd card its saved into the sdcard\dcim\ and it is on the sd card. when I put the card into the pc Im not seeing anything... if I go with astro and copy the pic from sdcard\dcim\ to sdcard\sd\PIC and put the sd card into my pc Im seeing on the sd card ONE FOLDER called PIC?!?!
Ive just checked it with the usb cable and its the same thing, if you plug it in you get two drives one with the folders
Android
bluetooth
DCIM
....
and another...
BUT BOTH ARE THE SD CARD, try to connect the phoen without a installed sd card to a pc you will see nothing...
And this point I would like to change.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying.
The folder sdcard is the internal memory
Whilst the folder sd is the MicroSD card.
If yours is different then I don't know what is going on with your Galaxy S

Yes, I agree... it is confusing.
On a Windows Mobile device the SDCard relates to the external SDCard.
With the Galaxy S, because it has an 8GB storage card (of which you only get to use around 5.6GB) it treats this as the SDCard and of course anything saved does indeed go to this storage.
Looks like we will have to wait for Froyo to arrive on the Galaxy S before we can download direct to the MicroSD card (which as we know is indeed buried inside SDCard/SD.
Sorry, but another basic question which I've searched for the answer but can't find an answer that makes sense to me.
I have an x8 running on Gingerdx v010. Runs great.
I have just been given a 8gb Micro SD Card, Class 10.
What's the best way to go about swapping the stock sd card with this new one - do i just copy and paste all off the old sd card onto my desktop, and then copy all that back to the new sd card?
Or do I need to partition the card in any special way?
I'm a beginner at this, so please don't get too technical!
I'd like to put some music on the new card, and I reckon i've got a few GB of albums etc to put on it. also, will probably try to put as much as possible on it to make sure there's plenty of available RAM in the internal memory.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
This is a really useful site - glad I found it.

bump... anyone?
Backup copy/move all the files in old sdcard to PC. Insert your new sdcard and boot, enter CWM>advanced option>partition sdcard>select 512mb>then zero swap. reboot. Then copy/move ur files to new sdcard You can also partition using windows You just need partition if you are installing many apps like me
Partitioning is not required, just copy data over from old card to new card.
i just bought a 16GB card, i moved every thing from the old 1 to this new 1 but not every files were moved and it seems to me that im not doing it right.
can some 1 please tell me what to do to be able to move everything on my old SD card to my new 1
thank you very much

IF you have partitioned your SDcard you will either need a special program or need to use a Mac or Linux computer to copy the second partitioned section.
If you are using one partition just copy everything from the SD card to your Computer, then from the computer to the new SD card.
Remember to make hidden files and folders visible in Windows before you attempt copying, and move all the apps that reside on SD back to the phone's internal memory (if left on SD, their encrypted files might not work after copying).
sorry, im not really good with this stuff
if you dont mind, could you give me more detail instruction,
thank you

He is saying
1.Make sure that Hidden Files & Folders are show on your PC.If not,appy it under My Computer>Tools>Folder Option
2.Connect your old sd card to your pc via a memory card reader or you can do it via Data Storagr mode on your phone using data cable.
3.Open old sd card(show as a drive on your pc) & select all the files on the sd card including hidden files too.
4.Copy selected files(whole files on the old sd card,ok) & paste it on somewhere pc your pc.
5.Now remove old sd card & insert new sd card to the card reader.Then open it.
6.Now move that old sd files to the new sd card.
That's all!
moving between folders, 1.4GB large on the same card. took about 5 mins ... isn't supposed to be like a sec? my card is Samsung *PRO 64GB 64G microSD microSDXC micro. I dont know the file system yet... never format it. Once it arrived, I just put it in ^.^

If the file manager really does a MOVE it is supposed to be like a sec. But some file managers do a COPY and then delete the old stuff. 5 minutes in that COPY scenario is not the worst speed possible, but is nothing to write home about.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I was on PC. I was using PC file Explorer to move files on this SD card when the phone connect to PC

Try using a card reader and plugging directly into pc instead.

That explains a lot - over MTP move IS implemented as copy+delete.
