The SD card has to be in your phone when you first boot wp7, and wp7 formats and makes sd part of internal memory. You cannot read other sd cards with wp7 except the one that is formatted and part of the memory, but you can not take that card out and use with a card reader after that. WP7 doesn't support the reading of external memory cards.

MiniSD card format

Hi Friends!
I've faced a very strange problem... One day my MiniSD card is crashed... All information is lost and device doesn’t see the card inside.
Utility to format the SD card isn't presented in standard programs. Format can be done using Resco explorer. I've installed it in internal memory and tried to format my SD... unsuccessful. I've formatted SD in PC using adaptor.
Now device can recognize the SD card but I still can't format it.
I have installed all software today but afraid that the SD will crash tomorrow…
Is it available, generally, to format SD card in HTC HD? May I need to but a new one?

Shalom, just to boost your question: No, I don't think you can format an SD card in htc (hit the cell ). I had been looking for the same before and didn't find it. But hang on, there might be people who know it better.
There should be a clear / format sd storage option in your WM settings. using windows to format it is just as good

[Q] MicroSD Card Problems

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.

can i install application on sd card

how can i install an application on 2gb sd card on HD2 running with WP7?
you dont need to.
WP7 uses SD storage and its internal memory in a form of RAID
basically, if you install WP7 with your 2GB SD card installed and the SD card is compatible, then you will use the SD card anyway,

[Q] wp7 rom chefs quick question

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.

[Q] SD card issues

help needed am new to android, i recently flashed android 2.2 froyo onto my htc hd2 which has a 8gb sd card in it . when i connect my phone to my pc and select the disk drive option, the drive whic opens up is is 199 mb and contains several folders including android secure. now i get warnings about my disk space being low when am installing apps, where has my 8gb sd card gone to?
You more then likely installed WP7 onto your HD2, formatting your memory card to a special ext.
Google SDFormatter v3, copy contents of your SD card to your PC.
Use card reader and take micro sd from HD2.
Run the program, it will ERASE THE ENTIRE MICRO SD CARD, put back on your files you transferred over.
Are you using a SD card build or are you using a NAND ROM? If you are running a NAND ROM did you partition your SD card for A2SD?
As the post above me said save your files from SD card to your computer and reformat your SD card. Do a full wipe of it and use Fat 32. But I don't know why the post above me said anytbing about WP7 as you didn't say anything about WP7.
yes i had installed WP7 on it before flashing android on it. its a nand ROM. THANKS
