Hi,
For some reason my miniSD card is now shoing up as StorageCard2, which isn't a big problem in itself, but TomTom can no longer find any maps on my device. Is there a way to change it back to StorageCard1?
Thanks

Look for "rename sd card" somewhere in the prophet section (can't really remember, but it is in this forum, with some reg editing)
If u hv resco explorer, then delete the storage card, then remove yr card and put it back..
Thanks a lot guys.
It's still named as Card2, but TomTom can see the maps now for some reason :S .. but I'll keep your suggestions in mind if it goes funny again
Thanks again
That happened to me when I updated to a larger SD -- apparently the Athena remembered my first SD card and named the second one Storage Card 2 -- I ended up hard resetting (for another reason) so now it's back to being the only Storage Card.

Yes. It does this if you are storing mail attachments on the SD card and the SD card is not available when it needs it (eg if using WM5torage when a new attachment comes in). It therefore creates the Storage Card subdirectory in the main memory and renames the SD card to Storage Card 2.
To remedy it, change pocket outlook so it is storing attachments in main memory. Soft reset. Delete the Storage Card subdirectory. Soft reset. Set pocket outlook back to storing attachments on the SD card.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I would like to format my micro SD card, but I don't know how to.
I know that there is an option that says " clear storage" but it is for internal storage only ? or can format as well the sd card?
I haven't any card reader on my pc, so I have no idea about how to do it from Hermes itself. .

Keep your micro sd in card reader , you can format it only from pc.(buy one card reader)
if you want format micro sd from device , you need a 3d part application , but from pc is better.

The resco explorer, has a format storage card utility
I have done it already, and works fine.
pocket mechanic works well, also finds errors, cleans up, makes coffee etc
If you're on XP, just right go into disc management, find the card, right click, and choose format...likely a similar method on Vista, but I haven't used it.
No third party tools needed, etc.
Edit, oops my bad, I misread that you didn't have a card reader for the pc.
Another vote for Resco explorer btw, I couldn't live without it.
Well, I got 4GB Micro SD. Formatting (FAT32) done through PC but never been possible through Artemis by any of the softwares mentioned here. The SD works fine under windows, but I gatta take it out in every new ROM or Radio flashing. Is there any way to make it being seen by Artemis DOS system?
Thanks

Delete the folder "MSMETADATA" on your storage card and do a soft reset and that should work
Unless of course the sd card has failed... I had one or two do that... All you have, if the pc won't recognise to format, is a lump of plastic.... You'll have to get a new one...
phone no longer recognizes sdhc card
Okay, guys I flashed my hermes this morning with this
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html and now it no longer recognizes any of my micro sd nor my micro sdhc cards. They come up on the computer but not on the device. I even installed the sdhc.777 cab and it still doesn't work. Help please...
refuse2bstopped, try a different os... If that doesn't work you may have a broken or misaligned pin in your usb reader on the Hermes. It may also just be dirty or have some corrosion on it. If you want to clean it use a cotton bud and some isopropyl alcohol (surgical spirits). DON'T USE METHYLATED SPIRITS... It leaves a residue.
Cheers...
sir...
im just wondering if my mini sd is busted and it has no use anymore..
why can my camera still recognize that there is still a memory card installed in to my unit that its even asking me to either save the picture's towards my unit or mmc
im just wondering if it can still be recognized by my unit can i still fix it/format it so that i could use it again...??
i know your the expert on this that's why i thought of asking you this..
thanks for reading my msg'
I like to look at things step by step
1. SD card isn't recognised by Hermes - not even detected...
2. Camera detects it - did you try taking a few pictures and seeing if it actually wrote them to the card? I had a phone that registered the card but kept throwing up "sd card corrupt" every time I tried to use it.
3. Does a PC recognise the sd card when inserted into a card reader? If you don't have 1 I'd make this a priority to get, a friend of mine bought one off ebay for $5 AUD including postage...
If the pc recognises it maybe you should reformat it fat32. remember to backup any data first...
4. If the pc and camera have no problem then I'd start suspecting the Hermes... I have two sd cards so I have no problems testing but you may need to either get a smaller card - I use a 512 for flashing the os, or find someone who can lend you theirs to test. If the 2nd card reads then either the card is bung or the Hermes has a problem with it (incompatibility has been known to happen). Clean the card reader as best you can with isopropyl alcohol and a piece of cloth. There may be some type of corrosion or dust on the sd card reader contacts.
These are the steps I have taken to work out if the sd card or Hermes is a fault. Generally I find its the card (happened once to me and once to a friend).
Hope this helps...
Cheers...
Been through this. Very recently, actually. Like, last night.
I don't have a microSD reader and I found myself needing to reformat my microSD in my Hermes to FAT32. I was trying to do SD flashes. Long story.
Anyway, know what I did? I used WM5torage. As long as your ROM is functional and your SD card isn't wasted, activate WM5torage and have WinXP format your "USB Mass Storage Device" for you through My Computer. It only affects the SD card.
I mean, it worked for me.
sd 2gb
i have i sd 2gb card, my pc can see it and use it but only on fat format. i cant format fat32, i get an error(not able to complete). i cant see or use it at all on my phone. (the only selection i have to format (on my pc) is fat,fat32, default unit size)
please help, so i can use the card on my pc and phone
edit:i have searched and the only thing i saw was prog. to format sd, that prog let my pc to see the card, but lost the ability to see it in my phone. (sorry i dont remember what the prog was)
A very good (shareware) 3rd party programm comes from softwinter (storage tools)
rgs
If the PC picks it up, right click on the sd card and select format. Make sure its fat32 though. Easiest thing to do... NO 3rd party apps needed...
i guess i wasnt clear enough. my pc comes up with an error "not able to compleate" when i try to format my card in fat32 (that is when it is in my pc), but i can format fat (but thats no help for me). if i put the card in my device, it doesnt see it, so if i link my device to pc, pc doesnt see the card. so still cant format via pc.
i tried 3rd party as noted, as i thought, if my device cant see it the app cant see it.
thanks for trying, but still in the same boat.
it is a new card too, im woundering if i bought a bum card and i should return it for a new.
any suggestions welcome
Reboot pc then try again... I've had this happen too and a reboot seemed to fix the problem. Just a psychotic computer problem...Sometimes pcs can be..... TROUBLE..
Cheers...
i tried that again, still doesnt work. but i did see autoplay run this time, i think that may be my prob.. 2 progs. trying 2 run on the same source at the same time. now trying to find a way 2 shut it off (like i really need it anyway)
I bought A Sandisk 1GB Mini SD Card off of ebay for $10
-just the the card no card reader, or adaptor of any sort.
I insert it into my wizard, and it fits it with the spring loaded mechnism fine, but when I go to memory managment, im not sure if it knows it's there or not
Memory management will say that, that "external storage": "Not Installed"?
But when I go to take pictures, I go to the utilities/options menu, then general tab, and it doesnt even acknowledge that theres their a card in the slot, only seeing system memory.
So my question is, are their any programs that can/will format my card, or implement something to make it work?
I have Total Commander(not installed), and thinking about downloading this program called "SKTools". Would these programs work.
Cause not only is this a brand new card, but i have pictures and programs that I want to get installed on this device.
-Ive already amazed myself by using the Lockiwiz, to unlock my phone(having only 2-days worth of exp with a smartphone device)
-taken a few pictures, which i have to downloading off my wizard through activesync
-An some other freeware programs that want to install themselves on the system memory
Please help, all/ and any post greatly appreciated
Thanks!
EDIT: I downloaded SKTools onto my device, and its a cool program( I think its a alternate version of total commander but you pay for it?), but it doesnt recognize my Mini SD card either!!
-I also found this program called "WM5Storage", in the description it say that it's specialty is dealing with "external storage", downloading/ and uploading without the need of activesync?
Last edited by projectdarkside(1) : Today at 09:06 AM. Reason: Found new program
I had the same problem.
The only thing that worked on my sd-card was to clean it with an sd-card reader that was pluges in too my computer.
PS. I hope you understand, my english is not so good.
http://pocket-mechanic.en.softonic.com/pocket
got some tricks up it's sleve
jus using card reader to format it to fat 32 format then is ok.
your only option is, which has already be said,is to format the card with a card reader. WM5Storage when activated allows your phone to become a usb storage device that can be plugged into any pc without the need for active sync to be installed. you can then see the contents of the sd card, but as your wizard cant even see the sd card that wont work either,nor will any other program you install.
Either the card is incompatable or it needs to be formatted
The best option to format any SD or MiniSD is into Digital Camera.
hi
I recently updated my 2gb transcend sd card to a 4gb same brand
and i had no problem at all then some days ago i updated the rom to the latest one by cloudyfa
but today when i woke up i see that the my documents folder on sd card is empty ! absolutely nothing in it
windows shows that 3gb of sd card is used but inside there is only 400mb of files
and the rest which was in my documents is gone
what is the reason and can i restore the files ?
thanks
oh something i rememberd : the 2gb flash had a 4kb cluster size and this one had 32kb cluster size as default.
but i dont know which size was better so i didnt change anything. is this the reason for data loss ?
SD Card
Sometimes reseting give that kind of error.
Try to unplug SD Card.
Soft reset without the card
Plug the card
Soft reset with the card
Hope this will help.

If you don´t find your lost files after that, maybe you should have to use some file recovery soft and check your SD Card...
Regards.
thanks
iused recovery and worked partly
by the way what is the best cluster size for a 4gb sd card and jamin ?
knowing that i have a lot of photos and lots of mp3 on the card ...
I'm wanting to backup & format my SD card following a problem with Sense not loading described in another thread. Having read various threads about this problem it seems that some, if not all, revolve around issues with the SD card.
Through File Explorer, on the phone, I've selected ''Show all Files'' from within my SD card directory. However after connecting my phone to my PC thru active sync there are some files that are visible on my phone in the SD card directory which aren't visible in the SD card folder on my PC screen. I've tried to find the show all files setting on my pc but haven't been able to.
Thing is I don't want to backup my card then format it and possibly not backup all files that are present on the card.
Any help appreciated.
Hi there,
Two days ago I copied all the files on my SD card to my laptop, changed my card from a 2Gb one to a 8Gb and copied all the files back again onto the new SD card. I never even looked for hidden files neither on the phone nor on the laptop and it all went without any problems and all is working fine.
For sake of good order, I can't guarantee it will work with you as well, but it should.
Bye,
Itamar

Hi, thx for the reply. Think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and go ahead.
Hello all..... just a quick one..... I have a HD2, and have recently found that I cannot transfer files onto the SD card without running the chance of them not actually showing up. Sometime they do, sometimes they don't.
By the above I mean, if I transfer a music folder across which contains a dozen or so mp3..... the transfer appears to happen okay.... the green progress bar on the laptop takes the expected length of time and the folder appears in the directory of the HD2.... HOWEVER.... when I open this folder, the MP3s are not there????
I have had this with some other files (usually larger).... they appear to transfer across without problem, but once I disconnect the HD2's data lead and search through the storage card - nothing there!
I have a HD2, running WM 6.5 on thre latest Vodafone rom, and using an unbranded 32gb sd card.
Any help... VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
I suggest you make a complete back up copy of all the contents of your SD card. hben reformat your SD card using the Fat 32 option. Also I suggest you take your SD card out of your HD2 and put it into a SD card reader and use it to reformat your SD card. All you have to do is find the SD card on your computer by going to My Coputer, it will be listed as a mass storage device or a removable drive. Right click it and select format and use option Fat 32.

First, I would try the re-formatting as discussed in the last post. However, did you try transferring via ActiveSync (assuming you were using the USB drive option)? There are two ways to transfer files on the HD2.
Are those files, by any chance, set to hidden?
If your sd card is an unbranded 32GB one bought from ebay it's most probably a fake...This behaviour is exactly what happens if the fake sd card is 2 or 4GB fooling you to think that it's 32GB one. Any file you transfer that exeeds the real storage capacity of the fake sd card will be lost.

That makes sense.... it was from ebay, and would account for the corruptions and problems which have occured since I swapped it for my 8gb.
I wonder if I have any recourse through eBay?
I've went back to my old 8gb card and everything working fine now.... duff card - confirmed....!
