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.

Question regarding Backing up HD2 SD 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

Format the sd card and then copy the files you backed up to the computer maybe you did something like hitting the wrong button on somewhere...

To format external SD in your phone,
Goto, Settings - Storage - Erase SD ( make sure you are erasing your external SD, you can use the size to confirm)
Or do it in CWM recovery

Shouldn't be. The card reads fine on PC and on the phone.
I think you're looking at the internal memory of the Sola. It's deceptively called "SD-MEMORY". If you go to the root of the drive, there should be something labelled "Ext-SD". That's where your SD card is.
