my xda2 won't detect my sd 256mb storage card. It did for a while but now seems to have stopped. It will still detect my 128mb storage card. Why won't it work? It recognises that the expnasion slot is in use so how come the storage card can't be seen. There is no file to view in file explorer and again when synched it doesn't appear on the screen of my pc. But if I swop and put the 128mb card in that card appears. Weird?
No it is not weird! I think your 256 MB SD card is fried. To unsure it is not try accessing it on PC with a card reader.
Have had the same problem twice with a 256 MB SD card from sandisk.

Thanks, but what does 'fried' mean. It worked for a while. Are you suggesting it's overheated?
fried mean that it's dead, not going to work ever again,
broken .......
sometimes eletronics just die for no reason
to be sure you can try it in a sdcard reader for pc
or you can try storage tools or pocket mechanics
and see if you can format the card using them
or if some of their options can detect the card
Sorry but I don't have or know anyone with a card reader for these small cards. I'll just have to buy another card.
I just bought a 2gb sandisk sd card
it is recognised by the magician but each time it switchs to stand by mode the "memory card" file disappears...So I have to take it out and to insert it again (two times) in order to see it again.
Is it normal ? or there's a problem with this card ?
thanks
:shock:
up
Good to read, Storage to the people!
Take a look @ the card params too. Somehow a magician communicates better with a fat(16) card than fat32.
Have fun, M
thanks for your comment...
I can only format the sd card with the magician because i don't have a sd card reader for my PC. But with the program I use (FORMAT) I cannot choose FAT 16 or 32 - do you know a soft to do this ?
PHM Pocket Mechanic is very good for this, available on trial
I just received my Sandisk Ultra II 2GB card and it's working fine with my S100 (1.12) and I didn't have to format it when I received it.
However I have just come upon a problem. The card works fine in my S100 and I can copy files to it via ActiveSync. In order to speed things up I just tried putting it in the card reader in my laptop which reported it as unformatted...
Got the Sandisk Ultra 2 2GB for my M500 and it works fine in the phone , my card reader however does not like it either.
However i have sd-cf adapter that i use with my camera , i sloted the sd card in to that and in to the card reader and it works fine at very high speed.
Hope that helps.

Laptop doesn't have CF and I'm reluctant to allow it to format the card in case I suddenly have issues reading it in my S100. :/
hi, i ran a benchmark in my 512mb SD card (unknown brand - missing logo) with pocket mechanic and the results are: Read 5.1X and Write 0.6X. Is it bad?
ok my card reader on my laptop and my S100 must talk a different dialect of SD card because no matter what I do they can't work together.
If I format the card in my S100 and copy files via activesync the laptop reports the card as unformatted.
If I format the card in my laptop and copy files on my pocketpc can't see them.
Size doesn't fit to 2GB Card
Hi I just got my sandisk ultra II 2GB SD Card and at first it worked fine.
Magician recognized it as 2GB then i copied some files from my computer with my SD Card Reader. But after inserting the card into my magician i got some weird looking characters, files, and folders. So I inserted it again in my SD card reader and formatted the card. After that my pc and my magician doesn't recognise the card as 2GB anymore just 1GB .
Any help to solve this problem and to get my 2GB back ?
I too facing the same problem it is detecting as 1 GB instead of 2 GB also the after formatting sd card in card reader made i unformated for ppc and viceversa dam,anybody have a solution for this ?
My imate jam had Kingston 128mb mmc card and it was running fine for about 1 month. yesterday i got a new kingston 512 mb SD card to use it with my jam.
I put my 128mb mmc card in a card reader and copied all the data to my computer. Now i removed the card and inserted the new 512mb sd card in card reader. I formatted the new card and copied the data ( of 128mb mmc card) from my computer to the sd card.
I put the 512mb sd card in my jam but it didnt recognize it. THen i put my old 128mb mmc card and jam didnt recognize it too. Its been a day and jam has not been recognizing these cards. i have tried formatting these two cards using Fat and FAT32. but still no success.
Here is the reading from my jam.
Settings-> About says that expansion slot is not in use

what happened ? can anyone help ?thanks in anticipation
Maybe something like the memory card slot's contacts have some trouble probably happened while trying to remove and insert cards often or the other. Rule this out by switch off(sleep mode) your device and insert the card. If the device tries to find a card is inserted by the electronic contacts, it lights up the screen or turns it on.
Does it happen?

i found the solution
Yesterdat night, i inserted my 512 mb kingston card into my digital camera and formatted the card. Then i put the card in my imate jam and instantly it recognized it.
I think the problem is in my card reader ( or maybe in the usb cable which connects to card reader to the computer)
my blackstone cant acces to the sd card anymore if i pull the sd card out and then pull back in the blackstone recognizes the sd card but i only can view the tings that are on the card
so i cant copy, install, remove or rewrite
does anyone know why this suddenly happend
is this a hardware problem?
Hello,
I had the same issue a few days ago. It was due to some bad files on my SD card.
What you can do:
- connect the HTC to a PC as an external disk (not with activesync) or put your SD card into a PC if you have a card reader
- try to copy what you can on a HDD
- try CHKDSK or format the SD card
It should then work again.
i have formatted my 4gb sd card in my pc for use as usb boot for booting image file in pc using ultraiso but after that when i inserted in my htc wildfire but it shows "unavailable" and format and unmount option in greyish, when i remove it it says "removed sd card" and my card in good condition as it works fine when i connect with card reader in my pc...i am confused please help me to solve this.....thanks in advance...
