Use one of these to format your SD-card again:

I want to format it.. but I want to back up it first because I have a lot of things that I dont want to lose.. But even my pc, doesnt shows me the storage card.. doesnt recognize it, to back up it..
please help..

If even card reader on PC can't recognize contents of SD, you can probably throw away that SD...
But, for last chance, try to read it with SD reader which came with SD card (if that was a case) or on another PC...

I will try my SD card in another phone... i havent SD reader.. I havent done anything to my phone.. It was ok, when I woke up and my phone didnt recognize my SD..

I heard about a program called restoration.. search for this..
maybe this can help me?.. format my SD, and then restore my things on SD again?

sooner or later all sdcards die be sure to backup important data from your sdcard to your computer once in awhile

My experience....
I see a number of comments about this problem in the Touch HD so I will share my experiences.
My HD quit recognizing the memory card some time ago. Occasionally I could re-install a ROM and get it to function briefly. As soon as I installed programs on the card, the links would disappear and the card would become unreadable. I tried different cards, I tried new cards, I formatted the card on my PC, I ran task29 to clean ROM memory prior to installing a new ROM and I I tried the stock HTC ROM. The micro SD cards are always perfectly functional and readable on my PC and on other devices including a friend's Touch HD.
After all of this, I gave up and I now use the HD without a memory card. I have become very frugal with memory useage!
If anyone discovers a fix for this malady, your solution would be greatly appreciated.

I searched.. and the only I found is that we have, as soon as we get our new SD card, to do a FAT32.. so it will not have a lot of problemss

If the card is formatted correctly, and is recognisable in a PC and other devices, then it's more than likely to be a hardware issue.
I know, because one of my devices is also broken exactly like this. It's likely the SIM/SD Comboboard, but I've never found a supplier for spares . . anyone know of anywhere?

Hello guys,
Same problem with touch hd. tried everything mentioned. task29, different roms, other sd-cards, reformatting etc... still no luck!
hope someone is going to find a solution soon!
Greetings

disapearing micro SD
I also had the same problem some time ago when connecting to pc through USB opting for disc drive connection and not using the sync button, then solved the problem when I flashed a new ROM.
Regards,

I also have this problem.
I've had the 8GB SD Card for about a year now and untill now, its always worked without a problem.
I installed a Topix Rom this weekend. I also installed most of my programs to the storage card.
Within a day it was dropping in and out. I am able to see the card, but not run any mp3's off it.
When the card drops out, I can either take the card out and reinsert it or restart the phone and the card is visible again. It still cant play mp3s or videos though.
Anyone else having this problem since they've installed a new Rom?

Hello I'm new here, I couldn't find what i was looking for so hear i go...My sd card is not working either after about 1 year just stopped working the phone says it is not installed so is it possible to reinstall it? Thanks...
Quick update...
I tried formatting the sd card & it worked. Thanks people

yes
same as you

Spares for hardware fault
Just to add, as I said previously about my device, the SDCard reader was faulty, and HTC Europe refused to supply the part without a HTC Service Centre repair.
For anyone else having hardware issues, I managed to source the part from China, and now it's working perfectly again after a simple repair.

[Q] Apps wont install without sd card being removed

I'm usually good about searching the forums and finding fixes for all my problems (and I've had many) but I can't find an answer to my current problem.
I am not able to install apps unless I remove my sd card. Whatever problem I have with my sd card might also be why my titanium won't restore anything. I've tried clearing market data/cache, using a cache cleaner app to clean my sd card cache, I still can't figure out why I can't install apps. This is universal across roms (cleared data each time)
Are there any fixes I've missed? I'm gonna assume its an sd card issue....
Help!

i have seen that happen on a couple custom roms, but you can always just unmount the sd card then remount it after you do the install, then you could move the app to the sd card

I've tried to unmount through the settings and I get a force close everytime. I've tried terminal as well using umount /sdcard and it says "failed." I've also gone back to an old rom I was using and I get the same problem. The sd card thing is a workaround, but is there a solution? My last resort would be to reformat my sd card.....

Ill reformat today when I get home from work. Ill report back later :/

Either your card needs a reformat, or your card is going bad. The only other things that could cause these kinds of problems is if say, the SD slot in your phone was going bad, or some other circuitry connected to it, in which case your sole solution would be to get a replacement phone.

I was getting that then I did a backup of my contacts and did a factory reset then reloaded all my app from the market. Now all is good

Thanks! I havent had a chance to get to a pc. Im hoping a reformat will do the trick.

I figured it out! I was about to reformat my sd card and I remembered reading somewhere that the .android_secure folder causing market problems..... So I tried deleting the folder and my apps started installing again! Not sure why this would be but it worked!

SD card loose
I had the same problem and I noticed that the SD card had backed out of the slot a little. I pushed it back in and everything works fine now. I wish I had seen that before the hard reset.

[Q] SD Card Damaged after clockwork backup.

Searched but found no topics regarding this issue (in HD2 section and CWR).
Ive just done a backup of my ROM/SD-EXT and after rebooting its now saying my sd card is damaged and needs formatting.
Has anybody else had this issue or can shed any light on it?

No sorry m8, all worked fine on my side.
(PS! I see you know where to ask questions LOL )

Indeed, obviously I have more then one brain cell

do your windows pc "see" the card, the partitions and the content? In the SD build days i also got corrupted SD card, but after i put it in the cardreader, windows repaired it every time automatically. just let the checkdisk run over and it should work.

It did but would read contents properly then just kept failing on everything.
tbh its quite weird, not only did the sd card report as damaged after clockwork mod but after I repaired by formatting I installed new magldr and THAT ended up ****ing cards up aswell because of the new major usbmasstorage bug.
Aswell as the SD cards it seems to have also broken 2 card readers of mine because since using the damaged cards in my readers one of them just simply wont read any cards any more and the other just keeps asking me to format every card I try, even on other machines.

i wos have same problem i was formated in win os 7 no prolems put again and work whti no problems

Thats really weird..
One last idea would be to format your sd from winmo. This way i managed to reactivate a "dead" sd card too.

"Dead" SD Card

I'm not exactly sure if I got the same problem as everyone else with a dead sd card from windows phone 7. I was trying to use XBmod-Yuki's back to the future rom, and after the first update my phone froze. So, I wasn't able to access my sd card on anything; including windows, linux, the works. I wanted to play with the rom, so I thought I would try and install it without any sd card and just live with 50MB of storage. I ended up getting to the point of installing 7720 and zune said that there wasn't enough storage on my sd card. I decided to pop in my "dead" sd card anyway while my phone was running, and then go into the settings and reset the phone to factory defaults. I was hoping to see if MAYBE the card would magically start working again. The phone started back up and like magic with windows reporting 7.20GB again as if my sd card had never kicked the dust, but I had to start the whole update process again because zune kept giving me problems with restarting my phone to begin the install. Since doing that I haven't had any problems with my sd card. Again I'm not sure if I was getting all the proper symptoms of being locked out of my sd card and having the need for the nokia trick, but I thought I would share and see if this helps anyone else.

Problematic MicroSD Card

Been experiencing issues with an SD card. this is an 8GB that I was using. I normally remove the SD card from my phone and attach it to the adapter toread from the laptop's SD card reader. one of the times I did this, Windows popped up saying I needed to format the device. I put the card back into my phone, and saw that the SD card came up blank.
I put the card back into my computer and ran PhotoRec to see if I could pull any data off of it...it spit out 3000 something text files all with 2 lines each of garbled characters. I tried using TestDisk (program that comes with PhotoRec), and it says there are no Partitions on the card. I tried to format using the command line formatter, but the filesystem now shows up as RAW. I tried using the official SD Formatter tool, and it says my device is Write Protected (when it is clearly not).
I'm about lost on what to do next, as nothing seems to be working. is there something I'm missing, or am I dealing with a completely dead card?

Try the thread in the stickies right above this:

I already tried this, but thanks for the suggestion. The problem isn't with syncing data, but moreso with not being able to properly repartition the card
At least, that's what I believe the problem would be.

Thought you might try his methods on recovering your data.

I understand. Recovering also wasn't a big issue, as I keep backups of my data every so often. My main major loss is the use of this card.
