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

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

In my case by restoring an old sprite backup after the upgrade to Rom 1.72 the access to my SD card was removed; so I reinstalled 1.72 and will not use the old backup anymore.

I tried every thing ..urgent help needed please

problem with sd 1g card

Hi,
Someone plse help me!
I bought a sandisk 1g sd card for my XDA II. During copying files (+- 500MB) via USB, activesync gives me an error (A device stopped functioning...) afterwhich the XDA doesn't see the card at all.
The supplier replaced the card and the same thing has happened the first time I wrote to the new card.
I can't format the card because the XDA doesn't see it.
What can I do?
Paul
edit : I have ROM 2.06.00WWE, Radio 1.18.00 Protocol 1337.38 extROM Sin.Merged.v2.0
My 512MB card works perfectly

I find that transfering anything to an SD Card on my XDA takes forever. Whenever I want to transfer anything over, I use a card reader.
It may be worth investing in one, as they're only around £15-30. The speeds will be MUCH faster, and I recon you may be rid of this error.

You may have to format ur SD first, I recommend formatting it to FAT32..
U can format it using StorageTools or Pocket Mechanic.. U can Google them, I can't remember where I downld them..

I recommend format it using Card Reader on your PC not on your pocketpc

How to use a 4 gb sd (no sdhc) card on qtek 9090 wm6

Hy
i've buyed a 4 gb sd (no sdhc) card
the name of the sd is MICRONICA (an Italian factory)
but my qtek 9090 with wm6 says in memory program/storage card : Not installed
How can i format it (there is a cab for formatting the sd direcly on qtek 9090? (i have not the card reader for pc...)
or a program to use the 4 gb sd card on qtek 9090 as the 1 gb (the last sd card was a 1 gb and goes well...)
thanks in advance
bye
Paolo

u dont need to install any cab to make it works.
If the sd card supported by ur BA, then it will shown in the Settings>Memory>Storage Card screen. Otherwise, I think u need to find another brand of 4GB SD card.

Best way to format the card would be (as you dont have the external cad reader) to go to a computer shop, look for a laptop with attached card reader and use it.

Have you used "encrypt memorycard"?

no
please help me i need my contants

Put the card in your pc. and try some recovery programs.
next time. remove SD card before flash phone

u may also try standart error-checking tool in windows. that's has halped me. after recover your data backup it and format your storage card.

The only think that you can try is to go back to the rom you had before udk's rom.

Problem to Fash from a 16GB SD card

Hello,
My Problem is that i can´t flash a costum Rom from SD Card.
Some Details:
- SD Card: Adata 16 GB Class 6 => Formated in Fat32
- I tested it with some custom roms and renamed all files to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of the SD card
- I installed HSLP with no errors
- Original SD card a gave away to a friend
- The only way to flash the roms is Active Sync
I hope someone know how to solve the Problem
nobody has the same problem?

I have same kind of problem with 8GB Class 4 SD card. With original 2GB everyting runs fine. I formated 8GB SD in HD2 and same problem. HSPL just boots up but stays in 4-colored view. Seems like HSPL can't use bigger SD cards or what i'm doing wrong?

it isn't hspl it is the phone that doesn't handle large cards very well.
do you need to flash with sd card? much safer too use active sync to flash.less likely to accidentally mess up your spl

Thank you! I will follow this information in future!
But is there also known problems using larger SD for normal device usage like applications, data, images etc?

there have been some reports of problems with large cards but I think in most cases it is due to slow/fake cards.
the large cards should have no problem in general use only for flashing.
