I just noticed that my 1.46Gb microSD partition only has 697Mb available (I think it was 1.20Gb after I first installed 7720) and haven't installed anything of note so I was trying to see what was up with TouchXplorer but can't see any "SD Card" directory even after activating "Storage Lock". Any pointers on how to do that? Thanks!

You haven't created any folders / directories called storage card by any chance?

I found the problem. a directory named "storage card" was created in my root directory.
now I deleted it and the problem is gone.
thank you. that was the exact problem, only I didn't create it but my "card export" created.
OK - good that it's solved
Mike
This will happen if you remove the SD card and some application still thinks its there. It will create a folder "storage card" for writing files and the next time your SD card is there it will get the next free name, e.g. "storage card2".
One application that does that: Pocket Internet Explorer with registry tweak to use the storage card. So if you use that tweak make sure there is always a SD card inserted. Or close PIE and disable the tweak - before removing the card.

Hey,
I was using Pocket Mechanic to defragment my storage card, and at the end of the process it had asked me to soft reset my phone to complete the process. So i did that and now my phone will not start if my storage card is in my phone and to turn on my phone i have to wait untill everything is booted to insert the storage card. And for some reason when i go in my file explorer it shows as one FOLDER named "storage card" and my STORAGE CARD named as "storage card2", and now all the shortcuts do not work and i cannot rename my storage card back to normal, any ideas? thanks!

Well, it unfortunately looks like you've got a corrupted storage card. You're going to have to format it. If you have shortcuts to programs that you've installed onto the SD card, re-installing those apps will/should just resolve the shortcut problem.
STOP, thats not always the case!
a) Remove storage card.
b) Open a file explorer, you shoudl see the folder "storage card". delete it. It was created, because the system could not open up the real storage card.
c) re-insert the storage card. It should now come up with "storage card"
Still, the storage card could have bena affected so you could use a application like "pocket mechanic" to scan the storage card for errors.
If you find errors get a storage card reader for your pc. then you copy all of your (working) data to the pc, format your storace card and re-copy everything to the card.

Ok so that did the trick! delete the Storage card folder before putting in my storage card successfuly fixed all the shortcuts. However, I still cant reboot my phone with my storage card in it, once it gets to the windows mobile screen it just restarts and it will never get any further than that unless i take out my memory card. In my memory card i do have Tomtom set up in it and its got a "autorun" file in it so could that be the error? thanks!

Hi there, all of a sudden my storage card has decided to rename itself from storage card to storage card2, and with this all my programs that where intalled on the original storage card have stopped working. How can i change this back as my file system now shows 2 storage cards(default new storage card and my old one that has been renamed storage card2), i hope this makes sense and there is a work round to this, i have tried pulling out the storage card but this didn't work please help as this is really annoying
More people have experienced this and there's a solution. Use the search function and you will find.
Yeah i have just looked at the search facilaty and it all seems a bit complicated all i want is for someone to give me a brief and easy solution please
1 take out the card
2 rename the folder 'storage card' to something else,
3 reboot
4 insert sd card and your card will be correctly named again.
its caused because the system is looking for a folder on 'storage card' before the system has finished mounting the actual storage card,. so it creates a folder instead.
1 take out the card
2 rename the folder 'storage card' to something else,
3 reboot

This problem of disappearing Storage Card / Storage Card2 keeps appearing frequently on my WM6.1 Samsung device. Everytime doing the manual process is troublesome. Is there any way to get rid of this problem permanently or in automated way?
Hi all
I used sktools to move and store my e-mails in storage card. on each start up, hd2 renames my storage card as "storage card 2" and creates a folder named "storage card" on device. I can rename or erase it but I can not do this on every start up.
Is this because my storage card is slow?
Any advice please?
mine used to do this also, i got bored of removing the sotrage card 2 folder so just left it, annoying being there but doesnt cause me any probs, everythiung still goes onto the actual SD card. prob has stopped now since doing a hard re set a few days back, so not sure what causes it. if i get again ill prob just ignore.
but doesn't it rename existing storage card as #2 and create "storage card" on device. then the e-mails will be still kept on the device.
yeah it does rename the actual storage card as storage card 2. never tried to get emails etc saved onto it though so not sure about that.

I am going to guess that either at one time, you removed your storage card while the phone was on, or you had issues with your storage card ...
You should find a file in your device memory named "Storage Card" rename it to something like "Storage Card3" and Reset your device as soon as you rename it ...
then it should be back to normal, when you restart, then you should be able to remove "Storage Card3" ...
Hope it helps
it is about sktools. on each reset sktools creates a new storage card and also renames real storage card as storage card2.
I am able to rename them to normal. but I can not do it each time. I am looking for a way to avoid sktools doing this.
this is not SKTools create folder.
In your startup loaded poutlook.exe. But this time OS has not yet been initialized your card. So messaging program cannot find path and will create folder Storage Card. After this OS end initializing card, but name "Storage Card" already used and OS will set for card name "Storage Card2". This is common problem.
Try delete poutlook.exe and tmail.exe from startup.
If this not help - wait new ROM update. Maybe they fix it ( i not believe).
Thanks for the comments.
Any other program to let outlook write the email bodies and attachments to Storage card?
I used the S7 trick to format and have a card "adoptable" and I can see on the storage section both internal memory, a sd card under "device storage" and sd card under "portable storage". (I did 50% split on the SD card).
The thing is.. I ran out of space and I did not find a way of moving applications to the new "device storage-sd card". How can that be accomplished?
GM-900F running stock 6.0.1.
Thanks
