Storage tools cannot format SD Card ? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Anyone experienced the same ?
I just installed Storage tools ver 1.5. I launch it, try to format my Sandisk SD Card 256 Mb, but the status said "Cancelled". Same thing happened when I try to verify, scan, etc my SD Card.
Anything wrong ???
What I am trying to do is to format the SD card with backup FAT option so that I hope there is no card erasure issue happened again.

I had this problem with StorageTools v1.4 I had cooked into my 4.01.16 ROM. I downloaded the latest version of StorageTools (v1.9) and it works fine now. I'm not sure why the cooked v1.4 didn't work, though.

SD Regonized problem

I did use WM 2003 on my T-Mobile MDA since ver 3.04 , 4.00.01 , 4.00.05 , 4.00.10 and 4.00.16.
I found that all version has a SD regonizer problem. If I insert a new SD card into the machine , it will not regonized immediately (it still display the content of the old card), I have to reboot the machine to fix the problem.
Anyone got this problem or know how to fix it?
Get the latest version (2.6-2003 compatible) version of Flash Format-trial is free:http://www.cnetx.com/format/
Copy the contents of your sd to harddisk (preferably bij sd reader)
Format the sd with Flash Format 2.6
Put your sd copy from harddisk back to sd.
It worked for me, much faster, no more problems with 4.0016.
I figured somehow the 2003 sd format is different from the 2002 one.......
I found that it's not the problem of the ROM, it's my MDA cannot detect the SD is exist or not anymore, it just keep thinking my SD is inside the SD slot.
Since it is offtopic, can someone move this topic?
Moreover, anyone have tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

MDA 1 Problems with MemoQ 4 GB SD Card

The device recognises, in principle, the card (also its size) and can access some files; however, many files are just being displayed, but cannot be opened. It is totally random which files can be accessed; usually, the first files I copied on the SD card can be read by the MDA 1. The SD card is all right (checked on the PC), reformatting it with FAT 16/32 didnt help either.
I currently have Windows PPC 2003 (T-Mobile/DE, 4.00.33). Might a ROM upgrade possibly fix the issue? If so, which one would you recommend me?
Thanks a lot

im a total noob but im not sure that wallaby can work with 4gb card, I have 1 gb and it work fine

SD card not working help ?

i have old gene and i use wm6.1 and everything is ok
but suddonly become the sd card unreadable and always ask me to format it
and when i format it i cant see it in explorer
and that massage appare when i put the sd card
(Do you want to format this storage card to make it readable? This will permantly delete any files on the card.
and i select yes
then said
This storage card has been successfully formatted.
but when i go to file explorer
it is not there
by the way my sd card is 2 Gb
Try to format the card on a card reader. If the problem persists, then try another card.
Two possibilities : Either the formatting utility in your rom is not formatting it properly, in that case, format it using a Card Reader as ramerson said, OR The card is probably getting bad due to a bad system area. Its not properly retaining the file system structures created during formatting process and the phone cannot work with this corrupted filessytem.
i tried and use another sd card with deffrent sd card size and i have the same proplem and i use wm6.5 and also the same and wm6.1
I think there must be problem with your phone if it is refusing different cards on different ROMs.
@smb: While some of builds of Wm6.5 have issues with SD card, but such instances are not reported with wm6.1 ?
BTW have you tried to format your card (FAT32) using card reader.
@techmate : Buddy for general use in phone Fat32 is a bad format. It slows down the speed of file access to pathetic levels due to its very small default cluster size of 4096 bytes, or 4 KB. Fat16 is the recommended format for windows mobile, and most other mobile phones.

missing files on micro SDHC after transfer

Hi, i have my HTC hero rooted with the last Villainrom 12.0.0, i recently bought a new micro sd card 32gb and i dont know why but after i transfer data to my sd card i can see it, taste it, use it with no problems, but when i put the sd card into my phone some files get missing, i dont know why, but they just dissapear, may get into some kind of trash folder hidden into the card, but they are just gone...
i tried eather mounting the sd from my phone trough USB and retrieving the card from the phone and pluging it into the sd card reader in my pc, it doesnt matter, the problem stays.
i thougt may be it was some problem with the partition, i had the partition to use apps2sd, ext3 and all the crap, but the issue was still there, then i formatted in my pc fat32, still the problem, and finally formatted trough my phone fat32 and the problem persists, i dont know if maybe some software on my phone is making this happen or anything...
i dont know what to think, i know my sd card is ok becouse i used it filled with data and had no problems before...
please help me.... im gonna cry
I have exactly the same problem with my HD2... trying to upgrade from 8bg micro SD to 2gb micro SD.... everything copies across (or so it seems) however all the files in the 'program files' folder haven't come across, nor has my TOMTOM gps folder files..... ?
I've tried everything I can think of, why can I not copy card to card via my PC.... I'm sure it was simple when I changed from 2gb to 8gb cards.
Any help very much appreciated.

SD card is damaged - Try reformatting it

I had had a SanDisc 32 GB class 10 and everything was ok, until the time in which I needed more than 30GB in my HTC Desire X. So, I decided to buy the Kingston microSD 64 GB class 10. Even though our phone has official limit at 32 GB, after googling I noticed that I would not have problem with this card. So I bought it.
From the begin I had a few problems. Very often, about 2-3 times every day, it was required to unmount - mount the card for reading some files or for renaming them.
... it was not big problem for me. But from yesterday, I cannot have access to the sd. I see a message Damaged SD card, SD card is damaged, try reformatting it. And if I try reformatting it, nothing happens. Also in settings - storage I cannot mount the card, and I just see that SD card is unavailable...
What I have to do now? To try a format from windows 7? If so, what format? Fat32, ntfs or something else?
Maybe it is better to use the warranty?
Thank you in advance...
For sdcard, try to format to fat32 (should work either using gparted or windows format tools).
try to format your sdcard with the offical tool from the sdcard association:
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
if you wanna format your sdcard the right way, THIS IS THE TOOL TO GO!
The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards
if you still have problems, try to get a replacement from your dealer or sandisk directly.
if that doesnt help, try a different brand like kingston, samsung, etc....
