I have a 16gb memory card which was synced with windows media player playlist.
Due to some other reasons,Computer stopped responding and i had to force shutdown my system.(Amidst Syncing process)
After restarting i continued syncing files.But when i removed the card after syncing completed and reinserted it.Only the files which were
synced before shutdown were present.
Problem: Files in memory card are unchangable.(Data in it are not deletable and new data is not added)
Tried the following methods :-
1. Formatting via windows explorer (shows error) (both quick and normal )
2. Formatting in disk Management
3. Formatting in cmd
4. Softwares (HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool & SD card formatter)
5. Delete synced songs from windows media player
1. Files are not important so recovery not needed.
2. Its a microSD card used for mp3 player
3. Erasing files seems that files are erased but it remains intact after reinserting.
If there is any way the memory card can become usable again.Plz help me ...

anyone have experience this problem?
Sometime I cannot select library from SD card eventhough I have MP3 file on my SD card and already update the library (there's no option to select SD card). But If I access the SD card using file explorer it appear.
When I format the SD card and update library then the SD card option will appear.
Does anyone can solve this Problem?
Please help

Thank for sharing your oppinion. Just delete MSMETADATA folder on storage card.
There was one time i had to hardreset Trinity for this problem after hours solving it.
suddenly all my mp3 from micro SD is gone and I cant addno mor...pleas what is hapening here
only the MP3 files? you may accidentally deleted them or the parent folder.
There are some Rules on data loss:
STOP working with the card immediately.
switch on write protection (if you can)
Connect the Card via card-reader to the pc
Try to recover your files with special software, for eg: GetDataBack for FAT
If you have the original files on PC: Just copy it again to the SD Card
I've got hold of a new MicroSD card, class 2 16Gb.
I've got about 6Gb of music which I want to copy across but I am having huge problems.
Firstly I tried using Windows Media Player sync function - but it only works for about 20 tracks and then stalls.
Copying the files directly using 'Disk' or 'ActiveSync' settings - look like everything is OK, but when I look at some of the contents of the folders they have wierd/scrambled names.
What is really puzzling me, is that I have both quick, and full, formatted the SD Card and the same folders are always messed up. I have tried every combination of copy method I can think of!!! The files are fine on my PC.
Copying the backup of the contents of my old SD Card onto the new one works fine.
Anyone else had this? Is it my SDCard that is screwed? Please Help!!!
no it's active sync and media player that are screwy. for best results put the card in a card reader on your pc, or if not available when connecting the phone to pc choose disk drive mode and copy it that way.
I'd say you got a faulty / "fake" card.
yesterday i had a severe problem with the standard media applications (video/musicplayer and gallery).
none of them would show me any of my media files when started.
the video player said "no sd card inserted", the musicplayer crashed with "music database to large" right after i started it and the gallery showed no pictures at all.
i was able to start a video by directly clicking on it within the filemanager.
i removed the external sd card, but this behaviour did not change after that.
than i copied all content from the internal sd card to the external sd card, formatted the internal sd card within the phone and than moved all the files back from the external to the internal sd card.
i did NOT overwrite any files that were created after formatting the card.
this finally helped and the media applications now work again as before.
my guess is, that the media database somehow got corrupted and therefore i would like to know the file names where the database is stored.
than, if this happens again, i can just delete the relevant files.
Its a hidden file in /mnt/sdcard/.gallerycache/ delete that and media scanner should rebuild the cache.

Hi,
I have G2 with stock f/w (2.2) with build # 1.22.531.8.
Here is the issue,
I copied mp3 files from PC to the SD card (used USB cable).
when I start the music app or ringdroid, I can't see any files on my SD card. how ever I can select the files using "ES File Explorer" and play it on music app.
But no files show up on the music app.
Here is what I have done so far,
--> deleted all the ".nomedia" files from the card
--> backed up data and formated the SD card thru the phone
--> copied all the files back
Here are few other things that I tried,
--> removed SD card and inserted it back
--> unmounted SD storage and mounted it within the phone settings
The music files are copied to the /music folder.
Please let me know if I am missing something here.
Thanks for your time.
have you tried a different music player ?
and try putting them in /mp3 (works for me)
maybe format the sdcard on your pc
