My SDHC 8GB card was working OK the last 6months. Today I noticed that the phone was freezing when sliding down at the contents of the root folder of the card in file explorer. I moved the 2 files (using my PC) at a different folder and the pone freezed when I was in that folder. Finaly I deleted them.
Now, after 79-10 hours I noticed that I was having the same problem in the "My documents" folder o the device memory.
Does anyone know anything about this?

First of all make a backup of your SD card continent, and do a SD format. the needed application is built in your rom.

recently, my kjam is showing 2 storage card folders, i don't know why but one day i just had it. what would be the cause of this?
my normal mini sd card is shown as storage card 2, and the storage card folder is showing installed app on it (phone skins) plus the temporary internet files folder.
any idea?
I don't know what causes it, but it happened to me once. I took out the card and soft reset it and it was back to normal.
i just did that but no changes happened, i still have the 2 folders (storage card & storage card2)
i there any other solution?
I had same problem when install to autorun application with an internal reference to Storage Card. I suppose autorun appications run before Storage Card device availabity.

Same thing here!
I've got the same problem and I posted under a new thread as I believe this is related to the upgrade of my TMobile UK ROM - did not have the problem before.
this happened to me too , and the folder contained a "my documents" folder
Wierd !
It's not at all weird - just read my article. I explain there how this can happen and how the mess can the cleaned up.
I realised it is because you set your StorageCard as the default message - or temporary internet files store. The problems I usually have when I use ActiveSync and I turn off (or it turns off itself) the PDA.
My method is very simple and works:
Just delete the empty StorageCard folder and after a soft reset everything will be fine.
If you cannot delete, for example because TemporaryInternetFiles are there and index.dat is locked, you have to make a softreset first, and after it you can delete the fault SDCard folder and after another softreset everything will ok.
Hi,
Suddenly i restarted my phone and it created a new Storage Card on the device as a folder. My storage card has now been recalled storage card 2 ? Why would that happen and how to fix it please ? Its annoying cos none of my shortcuts work now as the file path has changed so I'd like it back the normal way.
Thank you
This happened to me. Its actually a quick fix: just remove the memory card, then delete the folder titled "Storage Card" (given there is nothing in that folder, if so, back it up first and put it on the actual memory card), then re-insert the memory card and it should come up as "Storage Card" now.
I think a soft reset works too. happened to me once and I believe thats what I did.
It's happened to me several times.
Don't know why but a delete of the Storage folder and a restart fixed it.
Don't delete the wrong folder ..... check it is empty.

This could happen if you have tweaked your registry settings to store your IE cache in storage card or if some application is using storage card to store application data (for example an RSS reader). When the phone restarts and it is not able to locate the storage card due to some reason (for example timing issues in code), the phone will create a folder by name "Storage Card" in main memory if any application tries to write to storage card. Later when you reinsert your card, it will be named as "Storage Card 2", as there is a folder already by name "Storage Card"
If you dont want to lose any data, instead of deleting, you can just rename "Storage Card" folder created in the main memory.
BTW, I faced the same pblm yesterday. Very annoying when it happens often. I never faced this with my magician.
i had the exact same prob, didnt know why. and it was because i did use the reg tools to tweak that IE cache is stored on stroage card. i did wat u said, just deleted the folder and reinserted the card, also changed the reg key's back cos i cant b arsed with that on every soft reset!
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!!
Mohammad
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.
Having an issue with my Wing, hoping someone can help. I had my Wing connected to my PC today, iFonz was the only app running. I wanted to copy some movies to my Wing and I know that copying directly to the microSD is infinitely faster than going through Activesync, so I popped out my card, put it in my reader and copied the movies. When it was done I put the card back in my phone.
So I'm at work today and want to send a text to my brother, hit the SMS button on iFonz, and it crashed. No big deal I thought, I'll just relaunch it, crashes happen. So I relaunch iFonz... nothing... so I try to launch Resco File Explorer... nothing... interesting. So I fire up the normal WM file explorer, it seems my SD card is now called Storage Card2. Storage Card is still shown, but doesn't load anything when selected. So now whenever a lnk is looking for a program on my SD card it doesn't find it.
Any one know a way to fix this? I tried resetting w/ the card in and w/o the card in, same issue. 8*(
I seem to have fixed it. I fired up Resco off the SD card, deleted the Storage Card directory on the Wing, then soft reset. The Wing recognized the SD card as Storage Card again and all is good. 8*)
I've run into this a few times as well. It only happens to me if i left an app running in the background or with certain today modules. I've always had to use the same solution as you did.
I think the cause would be if there is a registry tweak that redirects database directory to the Storage Card and you removed it and did a soft reset, it would actually create a directory automatically even though your SD is not there! And what you would do is pop the SD in again and that would create the Storage Card2 directory.
Fix i think would be, delete the Storage Card directory using Resco Explorer, turn off the phone, insert your SD then turn the phone again.
The only registry tweaks I've done are to change the font colors for the today screen, so that wasn't it (of course an app might have done something).
I don't know the offending application, but something must have wanted to write to the /storage card/ folder on the phone. When the card itself wasn't there it simply created the directory it needed to write the data to. Like I said tho', the simple solution was just to delete the newly created /storage card/ directory, make sure the card is in, soft reset.
How to fix it easily
Okay, just go to file explorer on your phone. You will see storage card2 with the black icon on it and another folder that says storage card. Delete "storage card," and take out your storage card. Then put it back in, and it will just say "Storage Card."
hi,
i just pulled the sd card from my i9000 into my pc and i cant see any file from it...
then i put it back into the phone and navigated with astro filebrowser on it, there are all know android dir on it and one called sd...
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.
