My Trophy 7 stopped working in Zune a little while back - it just won't install as a recognised device on the computer.
So I decided to get a new phone but I want to keep my files from the Trophy, so I bought an SDHC card reader and took the card out of the phone only to find when I plug it in the SDHC card reader it won't appear on my computer.
The card reader lights up to say there's a card there - just my computer doesn't like it.
The card reader picks up a standard 2GB SD card and it's definitely an SDHC card reader as I checked the packing (providing the packaging isn't lying).
I'd really like to get my files off the card. As far as I'm aware you can't access the files directly when the SDHC card is in the phone, but seeing as it's now in an adapter I don't see why it won't appear on my computer.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can access these files?
P.S. I've tried EaseUS to see if that picks it up too.. It doesn't

You cannot pull files off of the card in this manner. Windows Phone uses a proprietary file system that Windows cannot access. I suggest replacing the card into your Trophy for now, and we can try troubleshooting the Zune connection. I'm assuming the Trophy was otherwise working correctly.
It is most likely your computer that is at fault for it not being recognized in Zune. After reinstalling the card into the Trophy, make sure the phone boots properly. Connect it to your PC and open device manager, and see if the phone is appearing at all, and whether or not it is installing a driver for it. Also, was your Trophy running a custom rom, or was it stock?
If all else fails and we can't get Zune running, you can put the phone on wifi and upload pictures and some files to SkyDrive.

Hi all!
Quick (I hope) question.
I have a M1000 that I have been using with a Kingstone 128MB SD Card. I also have a PC with one of these multiple card reader built in (6-1 I think they call it).
When I put my Kingstone card in the PC 6-1 a window open automatically with the card content.
Now I have finally bought a 1GB SD card from Billionton (48x) on eBay.
When I put the Billionton in my PDA everything seems fine, I can see the card and record on it.
When I put the card in my PC it can't read it at best, if I try to turn it on with the card inserted windows get stuck before login... (I am using XP)
I can see the GB card only through ctive Sync.
What can be the reason for it? Updating the drivers on my 6-1 is not an option... I have already looked for them...
If the solution is "formt the card" can u suggest a SW that I can use from my PDA?
Thank you!
Chris

I was trying to find a faster way to downloading video to my MiniSD card so I used the adapter and stuck it into my SD port on my laptop. The laptop recognized the card as being unformatted and offered to format the card. It was the phone that formatted the card and so I'm wondering how it formatted the card for use. I don't suppose there is a way for my laptop to recognize the card without formatting it? Further, I'm having problems syncing files larger than 300MB into the card. When I tried, active sync would shut down. That was the reason that first got me to try to use the adapter and my laptop.
AFAIK Windows Mobile formats Storage Cards as FAT16. This file system is readable for all Versions of Microsoft Windows.
The fact that your card reader does not recognize the file system makes me believe that it's not fully compatible to your mini SD card. You could try to format the card in your reader. Maybe you're happy and it works after that.
If not, go and get an other card reader.
Active Sync is not the application to use for transferring huge files. It is known to be quite instable. Maybe a more recent version of AS might help, or a direct USB storage driver for your 8125 like 'WM5torage' for example.

Hello,
I'm having issues with my Micro SDHC 8GB card (class 6). Whenever I connect the MicroSD card to my diamond2 phone, it works for a while and then it disconnects (the phone does not detect that there is a microSD card connected). To get my phone to detect the card, I either manually remove the card from the phone and insert it back in, and if that doesn't work, I soft reset.
I don't think its because of the card since it works flawlessly on my computer and I don't think its from the ROM, since before updating to Dutty ROMS, I used to get the same issue.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
Your card is likely going bad. The phone will lose it first then the PC.
You may want to back it up and reformat it.
I just lost my SanDisk 16gb after multiple times of reformatting it and eventually is would crash again. No physical damage to the card. Just couldn't take the rewriting and deletions....
Connection mode issue
When you connect your USB. You have 3 options. Active sync, internet sharing or Disk drive. I think your's might be in the disk drive mode. So it doesnt read in your windows as HTC Hero drive. But check out if there is another extra drive that shows on your My Computer. If it is so, select the option Active sync and you can see your Micro SD card there.
Thanks,
Raj
First i would like to thank you all for some interesting reading
i have just recieved my DHD and love it, my problem is that my sd card shows up just fine on the phone telling me i can unmount it and available space blah,blah, on the same screen when i connect it to the pc running windows 7 as soon as i select disk drive the sd card is un-mounted and then it is not visible in windows explorer also i have removed the sd card and placed it in my pc manualy and sits there looking for drivers
thanks in advance Mick
I assume you have selected "DISK DRIVE" from the drop down list that appears when you connect a USB cable? If so, this is most likely a Windows driver problem. So you might need the HTC drivers.
If you install HTC Sync (found on the card supplied with the phone) that should install the appropriate drivers. If it's not there, go to the HTC website and download latest HTC Sync version.
Can you try a USB stick or a standard card in the card reader of you PC and see if they work?
It could be a faulty SD card, I had problems with the one sent with my phone and had to replace it. All working ok now.
hi thanks for your reply i have done all of the above but still no joy, if the sd card was faulty i would assume it wouldnt work with the phone at all, the only thing i havnt tried is install the htc syn on my laptop to see if its a windows 7 issue or issue with my setup
otherwise i will have to wait and see what htc say about my issue
Cheers
Mick
Wait so let me get this right...
SD card in phone - Works
SD card in phone, hooked to computer using USB and selecting Disk Drive - Does not work (cannot see in Windows)
SD card directly in computer - Does not work...
Sounds like your issue is with Windows, not with HTC or your SD card...
Are you on a work computer by any chance? Can you plug normal USB flash drives in OK?
Either you're missing the Mass Storage driver or it's been disabled on your computer.
I am not sure what to do. My 128GB Evo Select micro SD card is accessible when in the phone, and items can clicked on or be used etc. Same with if I put it in a card reader and attach to my PC. However, every time the PC sees it, it says there is errors and needs checking. Then it says, no errors found. I can't format the card in or out of the phone, yet all the files are there. Anyone know what I can do to "unlock" the card, or format it? I've tried all sorts of different ways to do so and no luck so far. (running Superman rom currently)
