Can't Access SD CARD

Hi,
I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I have brought a Kingston 256mb SD Card and put it into my XDA II but the problem is I dont seem to be able to access it.
Can anyone please help.
Regards
Hm...i think you made a bad choice of using kingston 256 mb sd card. I use the same card as you do...but until now nothing happens with my card. My friend encounters the same problem with you. Maybe your card is defected like my friend's ? He changed to another brand though
you could try formatting it in a sdreader or in the xda using storage tools or pocket mechanics
do you have link for pocket mechanic.
tried doing a search on here but it returns too many unrelated threads.
thanks in advance

brougth to you by rudegar in assioation with google

Thanks for the link but the program only recognises a 14mb card, which i didnt think i had???? or is that inbuilt into the xda II.
It still doesn't recognise my kingston 256 card.....
Any other suggestions guy!!!!
Try to format the card with a digital camera.
storage is the name of the backup
storagecard is the name of the sd card
if it cant see the storagecard then you can try with storage tool
http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html
if that also dont want to see the card then you can try formatting with a cam like was said
or maybe the card is just defect
Thanks again Rudegar
Tried that but that also didnt work. Only recognises 16Mb of Extended ROM and 16MB of storage memory.
Like I said before I am new to this and now I also a bit thick. Can you confirm to me the following;
1. XDA II come with 128 MB of memory
2. They come with 16 MB of RROM
3. They also come with 16 MB of memory
I didnt think point 3 was valid.
Anyway i'll just have to try the Kingston 256MB on a camera and see if it works. If that fails, I'll just have to get another one.
Also can anyone connfirm to me that when you put a SD Card into the memory slot at the top does the XDA II automatically recognise it?
Thanks you all for keeping up with my stupidity.
Go to settings
then to system
then memory
then to storage card
and then on the drop down does it show the two mediums
Storage card AND
storage this is normally 14.57 or depending how much you have assinged to it
The storage card is the external medium like by me a 512 gives about 488 free space

I have the same problem. Storage Tools isn't recognizing my card either...
Did you found any solution to this?
Yes. The solution was to replace the card. The card itself was fualty. I now have 1GB Kingmax SD card which works briliantly

I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please

Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card problem

Hello,
I use a Sandisk 8GB micro SDHC card in my Tattoo. The first problem is that the card is not always recognized. After a reboot it works mostly fine again. The second problem is that i lost sometimes all my data on the card without any reason, it is just gone in a moment, I have already formatted the card in my PC but without any success. It is also not possible to do a format in my Tattoo (not working). Any suggestions how to handle with this? Thanks a lot, Mark
try formating the card i have the same card and it works sharply.. (format twice. )
Oops
I was thinking about buying this card... But now I think I won't risk :\

I've had this problem with my 8gb sandisk card too, but with froyo NFinity - had to format it the first time, and it was fine for a couple of days, then yesterday it came up with "Preparing SD Card", then "SD Card safe to remove" then "SDcard blank or has unsupported filesystem" in the notifications blind. Never had anything other than a FAT partition, and when I try to fomat it (on the phone, in Windows, in Linux) I can't. :/ I think my 4gb card was fine, but a bit scared to check now!

San disk 8Gb sudd

Hi
I have a problem with my new SanDisk 8GB memory. Some times when I am loocking for a file in the memory, it appears as empty. Re booting the phone everything returns to normal, but it is a problem because the alarms that have their sounds in the sd don´t work in this condition.
This did not happened with the 2gb memory that came with the Tattoo.
The memory was formated with the phone but still remains the problem.
Can some one help me?

Thanks for you reply.
The Tattoo is 100% original, buyed unlocked in USA. The microSDHC is a Sandisk 8Gb buyed in USA too.
I was looking for somebody with a similar problem and the way to fix it. Or a good idea to do it.
The original SD 2Gb wooked fine but it is too small.
I don´t know if the trouble is the SD or the phone. The SD may be the guilty

Same thing happens to me as well but only when the card is not mounted (eg when my tattoo is connected to my PC etc).

Hi, The format was made by the tattoo, I don,t remember what type.
Today walking with a temperature about 12°C the sd missing problem was present each 15 minutes (or near).
Restar the Tattoo and all was OK.

One thing more. Last night tired of losing the SD and his music I gave format FAT32 (not quick) to the memory with a PC. Lamentably the problem was continuing I didn´t install data from the Android Market (WIFI Connected).
Then I decided change the SD as the next step.
I charged the battery of the Tattoo during the nigth. Phone was ON with the SD indicating capacity 0. But surprisingly this morning the SD was OK!!.
It seems that something has to see the condition of the battery, I will follow this point.
I have/had the same SDcard. I had the same problems after about one month. A few days later the SDcard was undetectable for my Tattoo and my computer. In the moment my SDcard is on the way back to SanDisk for replacement. The problem with this card is that it is only class 1. I think that could cause this strange behavior.

hi
u know what i also got a sandisc 8gb and it is hanging wen i use a cooked rom with apps2sd but its ok with the stok rom as i want to use cooked rom with apps2sd went back to my 4GB and everything is fine may be this is not built for 8gb i mean models in india which also dont have 3G

Hi. Well, 3 days ago I changed the 8GB SanDisk memory to a new 4Gb Kingston memory.
Now all work fine. I don´t know if the problem is general for 8GB SanDisk memories or only the one that I have, but the Tattoo is not guilty!!!!!

[Q] Android can't see MicroSD card

As said, Android can't see my SD. I have CleanDroid installed on NAND.
When I insert the SD in the phone, appears an icon on the top that says "Now it's possible to remove the SD safely". If i remove the SD it says that it's removed, and when i reinsert it, again "Now it's possible to remove the SD safely". Obviously i can't install apps in the sd through "APP2SD", can't use Waze cuz it says that doesn't find the SD card in the phone, the same appears with the camera that tells that if i want use camera i need to insert an SD. BUT THE SD IS STILL THERE!!! what do I wrong with it?
I tried to change my 8GB SD with a friend's 2GB SD... but still the same. I tried to go in Settings, Memory, "Install SD" too, but it only tells again that i can remove the sd safely...WHAT THE HELL I WROOOOOOONG?!?!?!?! xD
EDIT: I forgot, i tried to change the ROM too, tried about 5-6 different ROMs but it still doesn't work...
Did you try formatting with Panasonic formatter?
You're just inserting the SD card right? You're not pressing amount SD card in settings right?
Its look your cards r not compatible with HD2 card reader. I had same issue with about 3 or 4 cards.
The best way is to use genuine SanDisk cards !

but...it's impossible! simply cuz with wm6.5 and wp7 it works perfectly! And on the PC too! In fact yesterday i came back to wm6.5 and the SD works well...
Just format it. ._.
i've tried to format it in ntfs, fat32 & extFat...don't work.... :'(

hi guys, there is an update: today i woke up and tried again to insert an sd card. If it's formatted in NTFS or in exFat it says "The SD is damaged. Do u want to try to format?". So i answer yes, it formats the card and then says again the same thing "The SD is damaged. Do u....". From there whatever SD i will insert wont work cuz it will say the same thing. If i try to insert a 2GB Sandisk SD it wont work, the same for my 8GB Kingston and everything else. If i flash again the ROM (the same or another) it tells only that I can safely remove the SD card...BUT I DON'T WANT TO REMOVE IT! I WANT TO USE IT!!! xD so i think my problem is something like a "loop". The telephone remembers his last one choiche and whatever I will do it will give me the same response for every SD. If I format it will be the same...
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE PERSON WITH THIS FU*** PROBLEM???
I sometimes have this problem - it sometimes does what you describe or says that the card is Damaged.
The only way i've found to fix this issue is to format the Card on a Linux machine - i have a laptop that i can dual boot with Ubuntu - i remove the partitions on the card and format it fresh to NTFS using the Disk Tools in Ubuntu and it works a charm every time....
Hope this helps - it is a bit of an annoying issue!
Cheers
Paul

I actually just fixed my sd cards today. I ultimately had to go to a store that had a nokia E71 and reformat the cards with the built in symbian OS. No pc or any other device would recognize the cards before I reformatted with the nokia. I think there is also a way by reflashing WP7 with the card inside, then make sure not to do any updates. You then pull the sd card and reformat in a PC.
Hope this helps
do you think that an e65 will work the same? probably my dad has still got his old one

Not sure man, I know that you have to do it through the file explorer that's built in, otherwise it will try and ask you for a password before formatting. As long as it's running the latest symbian you should be fine

Theres a list on this thread for confirmed devices that format wp7 corrupt sd card check it out.
If is doesnt, whilst you have wp7 installed send the storage unlock.cab to phone then send 1gb partition cab reset the phone from about..check if partition took effect first..press storage unlock on homepage tile .turn phone off your pc should recognise the sd card in sd card adapter for example it should read 7gb instead of 8gb use easeus partition tool to fully reformat..good luck
