I don't know why, but my external sd card reader DOESN'T clip the SD Card when inserted. It always ejects the card . I considered to fix it myself, but it seems that a tiny piece is not fitting well so I'm thinking of ordering a replace part that I could use to get over this.
I have found screens, buttons, SIM readers, but nothing about SD card readers. Do any of you know where to buy this ext. reader?? Thanks!
Solved! I have seen that the SIM card reader comes with the SD Card reader. I will order one. Thanks!
Good to know...thanks 4 the info!

hi,
I've got a problem with my sd card in my prophet. the prophet can not read the sd card the card. when I use the explorer prophet doesn't show the sd card. also I can not the start the apps stored on the sd card.
When I insert the SD Card into a card reader or an other xda I can see all the data on it but not in my xda prophet. Soft reset doesn't help.
check if the card is sdhc or simply sd
sdhc cards don't work with prophet
its a 2GB SD Card from Sandisk that I use for over one year. The issue exists since last week.
it seems like it's some hardware problem
if you haven't warranty, maybe try to open your prophet and clean up pins in prophet's reader
[sorry for my english]
it seems like a hardware problem. the prophet has got warranty, so I will send it for repair.
thank you all for your support.
So I recently bought an 8GB Class 6 MicroSD card from Microcenter (One of the generic Microcenter ones) and when I plug it into my Vista x64 machine and try to navigate to it, explorer.exe hangs and freezes until I unplug it. Ubuntu recognizes it, but it will not show up in GPartEd, mind you this is with two card readers on different computers. The phone recognizes it but won't save anything to it.
And on top of that I had my dad exchange the card out for another one because it is closer to where he works (Microcenter is about 20 minutes away), and they both do the same thing, has anyone experienced this also?
Are you using an SDHC card reader? Those cards are SDHC. Make sure your card reader has SDHC letters on it.
SDHC is not the same as a SD card. Older card readers will hang the OS.
I went to a MicroCenter and asked about the $50 (or so) card and they told me that it was actually just a class 2 so I refused to buy it. Instead I got a NAME BRAND (AData) from Newegg for the same price and I love it! I don't have any issues.
But it sounds like you need a new or different SDHC adapter.
Edit: Have you tried just using the phone as the adapter by mounting it?
If you can access the card that way then my guess is that it's not the card.

I can confirm this. I have a 4 GB SDHC card that will not work in my current reader. I got a smaller regular non-high-density card to recover with. Either get a small card (2 GB) or upgrade your reader.
I did find out that I needed an SDHC reader. I just bought one and it works great.
First of all, I am a newbie. I have searched the boards and can't find the answer.
I am trying to get my Nook Color back to stock so I can return to Barnes & Noble. When I tried to write the TWRP File to my SD Card, I received Error 19, media is write protected. I have formatted my SD card and keep getting the error.
Anyone know a solution?
Is the microSD in an adapter to (for example) full size SD?

Yes, I use the Adaptor to put the SD card into my laptop slot.
A) It's always better to use an external reader than a built-in slot
B) There should be a little slidey tab on the side of the SD adapter, slide it to it's other position.

I tried sliding it to the other position but it didn't make a difference. I bought a new SD card at lunch. I will try it tonight.
Seriously think about one of those $4.99 USB stick adapters as well. You'd be surprised. Just like the magic going to a Sandisk brand uSD card will do, going to an external reader will do the same.
About a year ago, my wife got an NC and I installed CM7 on a microSD card. She loves the NC/CM7 combo. A week ago, I got a NC for my birthday. But I cannot get write the image to the microSD card. Any and all help would be appreciated.
My problem is that when I try to write the image to the card (on Win7, using three different image writers), I get the error message that says "Error in writing disk Disk 1, error 5, access is denied." I have browsed all the threads and searched them. I have also searched the internet. It seems that the problem is that something else is accessing the microSD card, or at least the image writer thinks that that is true, and write access is denied.
I have browsed all the NC threads on this board and searched the internet. It seems that the most common response was to use a different image writer. I have used WinImage, Win32DiskImager and RoadKill. I get the same error message on all of them. I have tried to track down what program/process might be accessing the card, and haven't found any. (Based on my reading in this forum, I have made sure that no Explorer window is open.)
The only advice I've read which I haven't tried yet is to use an external card reader. I have an HP G62 laptop with a built-in card reader. (And it was this system which I used to mod my wife's NC, so I know that the hardware used to work.) I would really like to NOT buy an external card reader, which is why I'm trying to track this down.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?
TIA

Why do you NOT want to buy an external card reader? It is most likely the cause of your issue. They are cheap (less than $5) and readily available. EBay has them for 99¢.
brand of the sdcard?
Any tries with different cards?

I don't think I need another thing lying around that I'll use once. But if it solves the problem, I guess it is worth it.

It is a SanDisk 4gb Class 4. I think my next step is to get a new card and see if that works. If it doesn't, then I'll get an external card reader.

SanDisk is absolutely compatible, so the brand is not an issue.

Since you are obviously using an SD adapter to be able to fit it into the PC card reader, that could be bad too. In fact some card adapters have a write protect switch on them to prevent accidental writing.
If you get an external micro card reader you can throw away that card adapter and have one less thing laying around.

Hmmm . . . I have gotten another microSD card (Sandisk 4gb Class 4); that didn't work -- got same error message. So I bought a microSD card reader. And I got the same error message. Win7 insists that something is accessing this microSD card at the same time I am trying to write the image onto it.
That just about exhausts the solutions I've come across in this forum and across the internet. So now back to the last question I asked in my original post:
Particularly, is there a way in Win7 to identify any programs/processes which are accessing the microSD card?
If there is a program/process accessing the card, I can terminate that process. Any help??

I have solved the problem, by seemingly breaking several "rules."
First, after inserting the microSD card into the onboard reader (nestled into its adapter), I then removed the card without properly ejecting it then reinserted it. Second, I then used WinImage to write the image onto the card using the "Write" command (after choosing the disc under the "Disk" menu and opening the image using "File/Open," I then used "Disk/Write"). Everything seemed to work as it should -- the progress bar incremented up until the files were written 100% and all seems to work fine on the Nook.

Thanks
Many thanks to leapinlar and Rastaviper for helping me through the process of getting this to work. I am now the proud owner of a NookColor which can be booted into CM7.2.

My wife was having having trouble playing songs from her micro sd card (the tracks kept skipping a beat or so), so she bought a new micro sd card. She used the micro sd card for a few days and today the smartphone would not see the micro sd card when she went to "storage". I've tested it on my cellphone and on my computer and none could detect the micro sd card. Could the cellphone have damaged the micro sd card somehow or is this most likely a coincidence?
Personally I think if it's a new card it's just a bad card. It happens.
OK few questions is the SD card SanDisk?
How large is it?
If it is a SanDisk then it is possible for some issues just read up on it.
