I just got a 512 Sd card and my XDA doesn't recognise it.
I also have a 256 card which works fine.
I am thinking maybe I need to flash the ROM but am a little scared of doing so.
The card is working in other devices.
TIA

Same result here. Anybody know what's wrong?
does a flash reader for pc work with the sd ?
format as fat16 or fat32 ?
The Billionton 512mb SD card works fine everywhere else (my desktop, laptops, camera, ipaq 1940 pda, eten p300 pocketpc phone).
re: "does a flash reader for pc work with the sd ? format as fat16 or fat32 ?"
hey mate,
normally i reformat my 512 sd card via the sd-card reader (usb) through my laptop. i once formatted using fat16 and fat 32; i found out that the sd card's memory seemd to be restricted; i could only save files or use up to 300-plus mb. i then tried formatting using the ntfs format and my xda2 didn't recognize the card. i then tried using FAT format and the memory usage went up to 480-plus. i use sandisk by the way, not sure if this is the same as the sd card you have. but i do know that you can't use the entire 512 mb; something to do with the security or the card's internal program to retain files.
2 cents worth

Should I Format My Sd Card to exFAT or Fat32? I want exFAT for file size transfer but wasn't sure if anyone has ran into any problems with it
My 16 gb sand disk sd card is not formatting....I tried sd formatter and Mini Partition Tool but during formatting the sd card unmount automatically from PC and Now the card is in raw form.
HTC Pico also not detected the card due to Raw Form
I searched a lot and at last found that I have to change my sd card......But still a hope because it shows raw form.......
I just want to change ext2 partition to ext3 so I format my ext2 partition to ext3 by Mini partition tool and then my sd data partition did not copy,move and delete any thing so I format it but it goes into raw form instead of fat32.....
ANy Help Guys.
Waiting for reply...
On the format, does it matter if it's fat32 or other choices, like x fat
Thanks
What is the best partition format (NTFS, Ext2/3/4, FAT32, etc) for a 32gb External SD Card?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try NTFS because it provides more space. FAT32 is by default.
