This started happening after I've installed a new bigger SD card. I've copied all contents from the old SD card to the new one.
But now I have problems with USB connection as mass storage. It usually resets and after restart, there are many applications missing (blank shortcuts and apps are not in the launcher).
What is going on??
Using your phone as Mass Storage would require the SD Card to be unmounted,if by any chance you reboot in the process,your phone might not automatically mount the SD Card，and therefore you will not be able to access the apps on the card.
You may try to mount the SD card manually,still,that won't fix the icon problem instantly,you might wait or refresh a bit.
But I haven't saved any of those apps on the SD card (if it isn't done automatically somehow).

Hello there
Ever since I changed the storage of my emails to the storage card, I have the problem that the device creates a folder called "Storage Card" when I perform a soft reset. The actual storage card is then mounted as "Storage Card 2". This has the effect that not only my email bodies are not saved to the storage card, but also that software installed on the card can't be run. I have to start Resco Explorer, remove the storage card, delete the "Storage Card" folder and insert the storage card.
It seems that the storage card driver isn't loaded until later, when the system already created \Storage Card\Messaging\... folder structure.
Is there any way to have the sd card driver load earlier, or any other solution? thx.
No solution?
I have had the same problem. I have only seem the problem from time to time, havent figured out what triggered it..
Try not to set the PIE temp. file to storage card and email attachment to storage card. Because during reboot the system can't see the SD yet, so it will create a storage card from existing rom, and this will cause your subsequently detected SD to be mounted as storage card2.

Yes, I realize that this is the problem. I'm therefore looking for a solution to either prevent Outlook/ActiveSync from creating those folders, or else tell the system to mount the storage card a bit earlier...

setting all the temp/cache dirs for built-in MS Win apps (like Word and PIE) on a storage card is a bad idea, from my experience, as the Universal unmounts the SD cards on power down. this causes many of the built-in Win apps to crash when powered back on, with PIE bringing down your entire phone if it can't find the cache dirs. I don't know about you, but I like my Universal to behave more like a stable phone, and not a Win PC. Installing code on the card also seems to be a bad idea, as this problem also causes apps to crash. setting cache and other volatile information to the storage card for 3rd party apps seems to be ok so far. Maybe because they're not privelaged to being integrated with the OS like built-in Win apps.

Hello everybody, I'm new here and I'm having a strange problem with my Hermes.
Sometime ago I downloaded the slide2unlock cab and installed it. Then I removed it for some reason. Last week I inserted my sd in the computer and it asked me to format the card. There was no way to get into the sd and I lost all my data.
Now, after having formatted my sd, the device is continually hanging and when I put it in standby it always turns on automatically. Most of the times it also doesn't recognize the sd card and I have to reboot.
Can anyone help me, please?
Did you reformat the sd card FAT32? Its the preferred format but they seem to come formatted FAT by default.
Check to see if the sd card is still being detected by the PC, if it isn't then its time to get a new sd card.
Had you installed any apps on the sd card that might be causing problems.
Not from the sd card but I have had apps that, though I'd installed to the sd card, had installed the exe file onto my Hermes and a heap of data files onto the card.
Otherwise, might be time for a Hard reset...
Tanks for the fast answer. The sd card is formatted to FAT (not FAT32) and now is working in the computer.
Regarding programs installed in the sd, the problem could be exactly the slide2unlock, but I've removed it sometimes ago.
Only other thing to do wopuld be to do a hard reset. !st backup up your contacts to the sd card with spb backup(has a demo of 5 backup/re-installs). Needs to registered but you can at least backup contacts and messages then re-install after HR.
Hard reset should fix all your problems.
Cheers...
Ok so I tried accessing my gallery and my folders are missing - rebooted the phone, still missing.... file manger >> sd >> all there is is a friendly name.txt
where has my content gone!?
Also when plugging in my phone to my PC using media player mode only the phone directory displays, no storage card
Has it wiped itself? - How could I check this?
Settigns >>> SD card and phone storage
now reports External SD card as total space 'Unavailable', and the internal SD card as 13.43GB I've tried unmounting and re mounting - no change
if you put it back on a PC, does it read fine your SD card?
make sure you don't have it mounted
when mounted, you can't access it via the phone
I know this is a stupid question, but is it physically present and on the right place? If you try to remove it and put it in another card reader does it read itself? Do you have some other phone you can try this with?
Sorry its the internal SD card that seems to have formatted itself, I had many images etc. on home\sd - now its empty

Your SD card might be corrupted, can you write files on it?
I am running a HTC Touch HD with a 8gb microSD memory card, i was watching a movie on it when it suddenly froze. Done a soft reset and found that the storage card to be empty and all programs which were installed to the mem card are also gone. However Start > Settings > Memory > Storage Card, shows 7.2gb used 700free meaning that the data is still there but the phone will not read it for some reason. I have been doing some research and have found that a lot of people have had the same problem but have not as yet posted a solution
All threads i found on this topic are from 2008-earlier and i was wondering if anybody has found a fix for this yet or whether i'll have to format the storage card completely as the computer on which i made the back-up for the card was also formatted last week in which case ill have to download all the data and programs again.
Thanks in advance
I have a similar issue, I had my Touch HD connected to the PC using the 'Disk Drive' option and accessing some files on the SD card whilst TomTom was running. I unplugged my device and TomTom complained about missing files then the app would not start again, I could not see the SD card after this on the device or my PC SD card slot so I restarted the PC and the phone.
I could then see the files on my SD card, and I could see the files on my device but it is now appearing as Storage Card 2, I had to reinstall my apps to this new location to get them working as I could not get the SD card to show as Storage Card, and there is already a Storage Card showing as well as Storage Card 2.
Weird!!!
Im having a weird issue on stock where I will just randomly lose access to my SD card even though it says its mounted in settings. When I use a file explorer it says the card is blank when I navigate there. I have a few apps that use the SD card for storage such as my camera and I dont know its not working til I try to use of of the apps which causes it to freeze up.
Rebooting the phone solves the issue until it decided to do the same thing again. Does this with two different SD cards also
