Hi, I've just got WP7 on my HD2. I had it before, and the current problem was not there, but now I have installed WP7 again, ZUNE and the actual phone does not recognize my 8GB MicroSD HC Class 4 card.
Is there any way of resolving this? As I said, when I had installed WP7 before, Zune regonized the MicroSD card, but now, does not.
Thanks in advance.
I'd follow these instructions (not necessarily all the way), but installing easeus partition will give you a better understanding of whether your sd card has been formated for wp7

Just to say, I do not have an adapter.
ahha - ok, well aside from going and buying one, i'd try the following..
try re-seating sd card.. then
goto settings -> about -> reset phone.
this will reset device and wp7 will try to format the sd card..(all data will be lost obviously)
if that doesn't help, try the above with the sd card removed,(remove the sd card while in wp7, then reset)
allow it to boot up into wp7
re-insert sd card and re-set phone again.
(this is based on experience from formating my sd for dual boot)....
did you have your sd card out when you installed wp7? cause if you did then you would have to do it all over again i think in order for your phone to recognize your sd card.

I flashed wp7 but now I want to go back to android but my SD card only has 199mb free instead of my original 16gb. I'm guessing due to the wp7 partition. How can I reverse that and get it back to the original 16gb. I've tried formatting it and everything.
Help please
You need to delete the individual partitions of your sd card and make it one big card again
maybe some software will help:
EASEUS Partition Master (Home Edition)
MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition
There was a similar thread somewhere...anyway, the only way you can format your sd card back is to put it in a symbian device. It recognises it as broken an formats it. I personally confirm this with Nokia E71. Nokia n97 mini is also confirmed by other people. Since Symbian hasn't changed much in the past year i guess almost all devices from 2008 till now can format your sd card. Now you just need to find one.
You can do it using diskpart in vitsa / 7 just as effectively
Where do I find that disc part at on windows 7?
Google Panasonic sd formatter
Install and in options 'format volume size adjustment 'to on.
You dont need to do all that.
Just falsh an Android ROM onto your phone.
Once you have android up and running, go to Settings>Storage>Erase SD card.
This will un-mount your sd card and format it. Once its complete, it will see all the storage.
Keep in mind it will wipe whatever you have in your SD card.

I just did that and it didn't work for me. I had a 2GB card and it only formatted to 200MB. The card needs to be repartioned in order to regain the space that WP7 takes.
What I did was just stick the card in a USB card reader and used HPUSBDisk.exe on it. Worked out great, but I also unchecked the quick format option (not sure if that matters).
I have the same problem also.. If i understand correctly, we didn't put the SD card once we first boot the window 7. do these partitions method work? Thanks ahead

wp7 make a partition on your sd card using the whole thing. correct?
can you make it so when you install wp7 it only uses 8gb partion on SD card?
Then I would be able to boot ad from sd or ubuntu.
the only tutorial on how to dual boot wp7 and AD, you need a 8gb sd card. I have two 16gb SD cards
Any answers would be helpful
Thanks
i also dont have a sd card reader on my computer

There are a couple tutorials for partitioning your sd card to dualboot wp7 and android. There's a thread in this section and another thread in the hd2 android sd dev section. If the tutorials use a 8gb card as example, it doesn't mean you can't use any other size. I have a 32gb card partitioned.
And you can use magldr in mass storage mode as a card reader, but it will sometimes corrupt the file or card, so if you have no other card reader, use magldr, but if you can use a card reader, I'd go that way.
I formatted the SD Card on my HTC HD2 to 2 partitions FAT32 and the other for Windows phone 7. So I have a MagLdr to allow dual boot between Windows phone 7 and Android. When I boot into Android (SD/Magldr) it does not detect SD Card. All applications which use SD Card dont work as they complain "Insert SD Card". I tried to reformat the card using Easeus (also tried it with windows) but no luck.
The mount SD Card option on my phone is greyed out so could not do that either.
This is a 16 GB Sandisk micro SD Card. I tried various Android version but no luck. Any idea how to fix this problem . Please help.
Format it while its in your phone and dont partition it
and recheck if the application work
The Format option is also grayed out as it does not detect SD Card. I wonder if this is a problem as I am loading Android from SD Card (using Magldr).
when i installed the new windows 7.5 rom, it booted fine but it says a message that i cannot use this sdcard (emergency or turn off buttons are shown)
BUT NOW I CANNOT USE THIS SD AT ALL (WHEN I PUT IN SD READER OR MAGLDR NOTHING HAPPENS?????????????????????
PLEASE HELP

Windows Phone 7 formatted the SD cart as FAT16, MAGLDR can't read this format.
You can reformated with a SD card reader and a any partion manager program, format as FAT32 and MAGDLR will work.

If they used the XBmod-Yuki 7720 ready ROM rather than HD2Owner's V1.20 WP7 Build 7720 [test ver. 1] their SD cards were formatted with Microsoft's WP7 proprietary SD format. This explains why their SD card readers could not recognize their cards. This by now is a well known issue, and therefore the search link I gave above may be quite useful.
I Had Same issue. just solved it now, i had to re-flash with the old rom with memory card inserted, installed DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab which unlockes your SD card again, unlocked my memory card, then switch off, put into USB flasher mode and reflash with 7720 image and now unlocked SD card, detects ok again now all working
got both my SD cards working now with 7720, had to update phone to 7392 first with one card before i could unlock it. the previous rom drivers were no good with some cards.
Couldnt use or detect the card with any partitioning or Formatting software until i unlocked it in Windows phone 7 with DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab
hope this helps some others?
Hi. I was directed to this website, because I had a problem with my HTC HD2, regarding the SD Card. I had Android installed on my sd and was booted on it. I selecting the Unmount SD Card > Erase SD Card data while booted to Android. After I restarted my phone, (it was now switched to windows 6.5) It is no longer detecting my SD Card at all. I tried reseting to factory settings but that didnt work. It is a 2 gb SD card. i dont care about the files in it, I was want it to detect the SD card with all its storage space. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Take the card out, put it in a card reader, card reader goes in the PC and format to FAT32. It should work then. If it still doesn't, you could try software from this site:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/
It's a partitioning software. You can check the health of the card, it could be that it's just dead. You can probably get a new 8GB microSD for around $6.
Good luck!
Did you try changing it?
