My SD card was disappearing in Vista after system wake up. I was trying to find a pattern of this behavior:
Boot Vista with SD card already in the slot - SD is visible
Sleep.
Wake up - card is not there, yellow mark in device manager. Inserting, re-inserting card gives no result. Still no SD.
Here is solution ( worked for me at least, Vista with all updates, NO SP1)
1. Remove SD card
2. Boot to vista
3. Insert SD card. It should appear in My Computer.
4. Wait 5 sec.
5. Remove card.
6. Wait 5 sec.
7 Insert card back on. Make sure it appears.
8. Remove again.
9. Insert again. Repeat this couple of times and make sure that it appears all the time you have it insert it.
10. Leave card in.
11. Restart Vista - NOT SLEEP - FULL RESTART
12. Card should be visible after reboot.
13. Put it to sleep. Wake up - card should be there
14. Repeat sleep/wake up procedure couple of times to make sure that it works.
Again, it worked for me 100% and might work for you as well.
Does this problem happen with SP1 installed???
i had this problem too.
after installation of sp1 no problems.
i've only the probloem that after suspension my system recognise the sd like a new inserted device.
update
here is some update when you install it the problem will be FIX.
here is FIX for your problem
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948278/
It seems the solution but there isnt any download link except contact microsoft.....
It seems that MS will mail the hotfix file(s) within eight working hours, after you begged for it (using the first link on the MS page).
I'm waiting.....
Here goes. It seems to works correctly by now....
Has anyone tried this yet???
When I download this file it downloads as "attachment.php" instead of the file above. I can't open it and I am thinking it is probably better if I don't........
It works. Rename the file to "blabla.zip" or something like that, open it, start the msi file, restart the Shift and the sd card is always there. At least for the last 50 minutes.

I changed the name to Blabla.zip and then tried to run the file and it says "cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive."
What am I doing wrong?
Left click on the link above, not right click and save as...

sp1 installed?
The hotfix doesn't help for me. Don't have SP1,but SD doesn't come back from hibernation.
The method in post 1 is actually working until I hibernate (not sleep).
.i think thatb sp1 goes to resolve some problem, i suggest you to try the install. or i don't know, i've unistalled the utility of hybernation from "hd cleaning" and when i go to suspend the shift everything goes well.
my sd card goes to resume everytime i retake vista to suspend mode, but after it works fine.
i suggest you to try with sp1.
you can make a backup with vista business utility and then try with sp1.
if something goes wrong you may recover vista by the backup.
try..
sorry but i don't see others solutions.
I could try installing SP1, but I want to use HDD hibernation. So I guess you are at the same stage than me, as suspend properly works with the SD

Yes SP1 in installed, If I boot up computer from off state I can see the SD card, but even if I just take the card out and insert it again I can't read or see the card in explorer..... Its getting worse.

Hi guys,
I've been trying out different android builds but after a while it won't boot in android anymore.
I run the CLRAD and HaReT, it show the command lines and then freezes on the HTC screen.
It is not the first time I'm launching it, everything is allways set up the way I like it and then I want to reboot a final time and it freezes. (first boot only takes 10 min.) Then I have to take out the battery to reset, but everytime after it freezes, tried waiting for +1 hour but no changes.
When I delete all the android files from my SD card and copy the original ones it restarts again and I have to setup everything again.
I tried new wm roms (Miri HD2 wm6.5.x) different radios (now 2.12.50.02.2),
the new HSPL3 but nothing seems to solve this.
edit: now I'm trying to use the mdeejay froyo HD v3.7 rom
I've searched the forum and other users seem to have the same problem, but no solutions have come forward. The people replying allways seem to think it is the first boot that takes 10 min. but it's not that. First boot works fine.
I would love to have a solution so I can start using android on a daily basis.
If you need more info, just ask.
I was having the same problem initially...very frustrating. Now i found the permanent solution for this problem. The problem on the second time or more on rebooting is depending how do you install the code in the root of SD card. Please follow the instruction carefully as each ROM (depending on which one you use) may require the files to store diffrently in the "root" of SD card. So read carefully after you unzip the code, where should you transfer the files in the SD card. Either under SD root or SD\Android (directory).Eg. I'm using FroyoStone_Sense V3.2 ; use 7-Zip File Manager program (can be download), then execute (click on the downloaded file : FroyoStone_Sense-V3.2.7z ) with the 7-Zip File Manager then you will get 2 directory 1. Android 2. Media and one readme.txt file. Copy the directory 1 and 2 in you root of your SD card. Then you run thru file manager, CLRCAD.exe follow by haret.exe . This the first setup. Let it run and setup your device. It will work and the second time you reboot, just run CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe as usual, your device will work perfectly..Good luck.
Hi, Just to add another note for you convenience if you are using different android build ef Mdeejay_Froyo_Sense_v.2.4.2_NextSense; when you extract the downloded file using 7-Zip File Manager, you will get 2 directories 1. AndroidApps and 2. Media with the rest of files including CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe .Copy and paste exactly the structure into your SD card. It will run beautifully and you will not have probelm on freesing on 2nd reboot even for the next reboot...hope it helps and try it out.thx.
I've the very same situation and Khairon i tried that method doesn't work...
Still same issue...
Any one can solve this?
cheers
Hi, use file using 7-Zip File Manager program to extract the downloaded zipfile. I've tried severals Android ROM builds and it works well on my HD2 after 2 weeks of trial and error on the freezing after the 2nd reboot. To increase your chance of success, reformat the SD card only then copy the files into the SD card.
Thx
all done, still same 2nd boot = freez
dont understand wots wrong
i am using the mjeedy's revolution build
is there any way to completely burn the android to HD2 like wince roms?
cheers
i was having exactly same problems as u, so i formatted my card with a card formatter, not through windows but used a card formatter, installed android agian and bingo it works, im using droidrom, radio 2.12, with the card format do full reset not quick this should work
full format is not working either
I also noticed that there is a file popping up on my SD card : EncFiltLog.menc
Searching around points to SD card encryption, but this is turned of in windows.
I checked with Miri, who made my windows rom and he said it's not set in the rom itself.
But this might explain everything, when I reboot the linux bootloader can't read the SD card because of the encryption.
Only thing now is to turn it off, but how can I do this when it is off in windows
I also had that file today on my "goldcard", the old 2GB SD-card shipped with my HD2. I tried the old card, because I can't start android (on 16GB sandisk) anymore.
Hi, I have the same problem.
Reboot freeze on 16GB Kingston.
Working fine on 2GB SD.
On both SD card is the same formating.
it doesn't seem to be related to the SD card i guess, I also tried my original 2GB card instead of my regular 16GB.
Both give me the same problems.
Hey anyone got a resolution to this??

I have successfully installed Froyo 2.2 Beta 3 (on SD card) and work well. How can I do if I want to change from 2G card to 8G card coz the partition in 2G card cannot be read in PC!
Froyo 3 installation
Hi,
I am trying to install Froyo 2.2 beta 3 from windows with the automatic installer. I am using an 8gb sd card formatted to FAT 32, and followed the directions provided in the zip file. My installation freezes at 'jumping to kernel'. I'm assuming I do not have to partition my card or anything, right? What should I do?
Thanks,
Dia

does anny one knows if there is any update for the original hardware keys (home, camera, lock, call, end call, back) for omnia 2 running android froyo 2.2 beta 3 ?
help
i have tried almost everything to install Froyo beta 3 for Omnia 2 but nothing seems to work.
i reached the point where i see the pink screen but then NOTHING it just freezes.
I tried to install Froyo Beta 3 on my GT i8000.
First problem was that I tried to install, with automatic installation, to My Storage. Resulting in My Storage to disappear. I suppose it has been formatted in 'linux-mode' and so invisible, but I Hard Reset the phone and My Storage is still missing.
Is there anything I can do to have it back?
Anyway I installed a new ROM WM 6.5.3 based (My Storage still missing) and then tried again with Froyo Beta 3 automatic installation using SD card.
Runned androidinstall [ok]
phone rebooted [ok]
entered SD Storage and tried to run Haret, but a GUI asks me the script to use (default.txt), but no scripts are provided in the installation pack...
Back on WM and Kies. Internal Storage (total of 280Mb, 253 available) and External Storage (SD, 4Gb, 3.66 available), My Storage still missing.
Can anyone provide help?
Thx in advance.
Hello,
I installed Froyo beta 3 (on external SD) on my omnia i8000 and it rebooted like the readme file said
The problem is when i run the "HARET.EXE", I get a window where I have to insert a path to run. What should I do?
Thank you.
Hello, Just got a refurbished NC with version 1.2 (read forever). Works great from stock system, but I'm trying to install CM7 on SanDisk 8gb card via post directions on:
[ROM][CM7] [v1.3] Size-agnostic SD Card image and CM7 installer for SD Cards
I've tried the 2 latest stable updates 7.1.0 and 7.0.3 and everything seems to install fine with the last lines saying "all steps complete...flushing caches...shutting down"
When I restart, it goes to the last 20 or so lines of the install and shuts down again (same messages at the end...all steps etc) I've redownloaded both the green 1.3 installer image and the stable roms. When I tried a "nightly" the install stopped on a line saying "looking for file starting with update..." or something like that and it sat there until I held the power button for a looong time.
I did try searching for a solution but couldn't find one like this problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or not doing? Thanks
One thought...the 8gb card doesn't show what class... it only says Sandisk Micro HC
Are you certain you are dropping the CM7 files on the root of the boot partition on the SD?
You seem to describe doing it right but we need step-by-step how you get it done in order to maybe figure out where the culprit is.
I would suggest RECREATE the bootable uSD first.
Note: redownload the image file if needed.
Thanks for replying. Here's what I've done:
formatted 8gb micro via windows 7
downloaded image installer 1.3 via xda
downloaded winimage
restored sd card from image (generic...)
I saw boot disk w/4 files
downloaded latest stable cm7 and copied directly (zipped)to boot partition on sd
inserted sd in NC
it loaded and started updating for about 60 secs like mentioned above
it automatically shut down
When I restart NC, there is a quick white screen it goes to loading and redoes the last 20-30 lines of update and shuts down again. The lines go by so quick I can't read it (or more accurately remember them)
I've redownloaded both install image and stable updates with same results. When I tried downloading a niightly, the installer stopped midway with last line saying something like...looking for file starting with update...
Any help is appreciated
I have the same device as you (refurb NC 1.2 from the recent dailysteals sale) and did the exact things that you did except use win32diskimager instead of winimage, and it installed the cm7 nightly 240 without any issues. It's only afterward that I ran into trouble, trying to install gapps (read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332441)
same device, same procedure, different results.
You might want to re-download cm7 zip file... you can use 7-zip or winrar to "Test archive" to see if it is corrupt before copying it to the boot partition of the uSD.
Like jh mentioned, I would give win32diskimager a try, there were many reported of winimage didn't work well.
Search for the win32diskimager, older version is better for some reason, 0.15 or something. If you can't find, let me know, I'll host the file.
Again, redownload all files, make sure no hiccup in the middle of downloading process.
What you did was correct, just to let you know.
Work-around works---next question
update!
I took out the micro 2gb sandisk from my phone and tried it again doing the normal install. It works! So, next question. Can I make an image of the 2gb sd and restore it on the 8gb sd and via some procedure maximize the rest of the sd?
Any ideas why 8gb didn't work in first place? I had done a full format via windows explorer before trying the first time. Even tried formatting via NC and still no luck. The 8gb was being used in my rooted Eris phone with no problems.
By any chance you got the counterfeit one? the 8GB
not counterfeit...I think...because when fully formatted it was 7.4+ gb
Found another 8gb sandisk micro and used it. Worked perfectly. I should have tried that first and saved a whole lot of time and energy! Thanks to all that chimed in with suggestions.

You have to use at least a class 4 card and that still works pretty pokey. I have my nook overclocked and running on internal and it is almost as fast as a stock Atrix

Hello Great minds here,
Device HTC HD 2 / 16 GB (Transcend SD Class4) with two partitions 7.4 for Win and balance loaded with ICS at root.
I installed windows 7.5 SP 1 Mango (Yuki) working great - Tons and loads of thanks to Yuki (team).
I installed ICS Beta 7 Build 14 working great with almost all features looked in so far. thanks and applaud to Ankuch. Many thanks for such work. Installed as per the tutorials for dual boot. However, I face the following issues:
1. In settings option of ICS total internal storage reported only .96 GB. On using ES Explorer error reported no SD card mounted. SD card formatted with , FAT 32 as primary partition , unused 6.17 GB. For win it is logical partition.
2. At no point of time did I run Haret.exe or ClrCad.
3. Reports no USB storage, this is as advised by ROM Chef.
4. Is there any application which gives an option to boot into ICS or WIN as startup. Tried exceller Boot loader but the thread notified that it is for adndroid / ubuntu, so did not load. Pls advise if there is any application.
5. If I boot into win 7.5 and then switch off to boot into ICS, the booting fails. Reason I noticed that win 7.5 locks the SD. Then reboot into win 7.5, unlock the SD and then boot into ICS thru Magldr. Kindly advise whether this is correct or I have done some installation error.
Thank you in advance for the amazing knowledge and ideas you people.
Thanks a ton.

1.Is the partition set to primary??
4.u r using maglrd right?? Not sure about that but after unlocking SD u can choose from maglrd menu
5. Yup that's correct
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Yes the partition is set to Primary for FAT 32 and for windows it is logical.
could there be an issue that since ICS is loaded on the SD, Sd is not recognised. On starting file explorer it reports SD not mounted.
Got boot loader called excellor boot loader but is for windows 6.5. Unable to locate one for windows 7.5
Yes can boot in from Magdlr.
Thank you for the support.

can u make sure that you did it correctly by following this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4
Saw the video today. No I don't think I did everything correct.
Trying to re do everything once again and then get back to you.
Thanks.
Ok now the first problem crops up. I haveof one partition flashed SP1 of Windows 7.5 (Yuki Rom). Then reset the phone as shown in the video, however, when I check the memory card in the manner suggested in the EASEAUS Partition Manager the SD reads only 14.73 GB of only one partition there is no 200 MB FAT 16 partition. Tried doing resetting many times but the same prob.
Re installed everything but the problem remains the same. On starting ES File Explorer " SD crd not mounted or not present".....Kindly HELP
Hi,
I have an identical setup as you and coincidentally had the same problem as you.
I referred to this video tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944288 and am now happily running Tango (Yup!!) on NAND and different versions of Android on SD.
Try it out and let me know if it works for you.
