my 2gb card wont work anymore, i can format it countless times through my tp2 but when i plug it into my pc as disk drive it shows up as a removable drive like it should, but i click on the drive and it says it needs to be formatted, but before i can finish formatting, it says windows was unable to format it, i can access it on my pc through windows mobile device center, but i need to be able to access it through "my computer" any suggestions on how to fix this? i tried using a card reader but it wont show up at all, and i always lose my card readers anyways so i prefer to stick to usb cables

Maybe it's just time to get a new card. They're awfully cheap. You can replace a 2GB microSD card for about a dollar. I'd suggest getting a higher capacity, though.

Hi, I've got this big issue since I installed Vista: it can't recognise my 2gb storage card if I put it on my usb card reader; Vista asks me to format it and if I agree, it formats micorsd as 1 gb storage card; then I put my microsd on my phone (TyTN, WM6) and also the phone sees it as 1Gb. Then, if I reformat micorsd by the phone, for example using pocket mechanic, I can obtain again 2 Gb storage card, but just on my phone. If I insert it again in my usb card reader, Vista doesn't recognise it and it asks me to format agin.
I've tried to formata as FAT32 and top chanche cluster dimensione but nothing to do.
Please, could someone help me?
Thank you.
Gianni
Can you forget using the card reader and use wm5torage instead, using your device as a usb drive with your card? That's what I do. Just a suggestion. Unfortunately, I can't help with Vista... I use XP. Sorry.

I forgot to say that I've already tried using WM5torage, but it doesn't work anyway: Vista doesn't recognise driver and it's not successful, so I can't use it.

Had the same issue and turned out my card reader was just old. I bought a new one by Sandisk, and having no problems now.
Thank you for suggestion.
If it can be useful, I've solved my problem installing CARD EXPORT II and modifying "usb to pc" connection. Now I can connect my Hermes by USB and it works as a card reader.
I think my A-Data 8GB Class 6 SDHC is hosed. Is there anything else I can try before I have to purchase one? This is what I have noticed and done to try and resolve.
I cannot write anything to the card. However, I can read from it. I’ve tried deleting folders and files. They show they are deleted; however, when I take out the card and reinsert it shows back up. It does not show up as a drive when I hook it up to a card reader. Disk Management scan showed nothing. When I connect the Touch Pro to the laptop as a drive instead of Active Sync, the storage card does not show up. I can go through the File Management in the Windows Mobile app and see the storage card. Format is not available. A friend with an Android tried reformatting it and it just sat there. He took it out and resinerted his and it started formatting his card.
Is there a format program to use on the phone (searching now)? Is it time to buy a new SDHC?
ETA...I just installed FlashFormat from cnetx. Received "No storage card detected". Is there another good flash program?
You can try a card reader in your pc (ether built in or USB) to format the card. if you need help let me know.
btw a good program to format anything on windows is called swiss knife and its available for free here:
http://download.cnet.com/CompuApps-SwissKnife-V3/3000-2248-10070864.html?part=dl-CompuApps&subj=dl&tag=button
Yep...I tried a card reader to my laptop. XP did not see the card. However, I tried a different card and it showed up.
I will look at swissknife.
Swissknife does not see the card.
I ordered a new card.
Alright, I have a 2gb memory card which had worked fine until I started rooting my phone and doing all that stuff. Now the phone detects the memory card and it's working fine, but the pc detects that there's some storage thing but doesn't really recognize it. It doesn't even show how much space the card has or anything, it's just disk E. Yes, I do mount the memory card when it asks.
Are the drivers for your device installed on your pc?
I think so, yes. But just in case, where can I get a pc suite or something with the drivers?
I've just tried reinstalling amon ra, and the phone pugged to the pc just fine. I think this happened because of the phone reset. Someone had the same probem and says refashing heped him, but how can I reflash if I can't even put the zip file into the memory card?

What device do you have?
Vodafone 845/huawei u8120
Try placing your sd card in the card reader on your pc, then putting the rom on it so you can reflash it.
no micro sd card reader in my pc, only sd and others.And I don't have an adapter
sometimes when i connect the phone the memory card gets dec=tected but only for like half a second and then just doesn't recognize it anymore
Anyone? I press mount in the usb setting and the drive appears but when I click on it it says ''please insert a disk to drive J''. I've found some search results via google on this but nothing worked for me. My phone is vodafone 845
So my S3 Pebble Blue is on it's way & I want to put all music & stuff on to my 64Gb Micro sd card.
Do I....
1: Format on the pc, if so which format & would the S3 still want to format when I put it in.
2: Format it in the phone & then remove & insert in to PC to transfer all my music & stuff?
I am familiar with android & formatting micro sd cards. I just wondered if being a 64Gb would be a different matter.
Ta
Just format in phone.

I also just received my SGS3 and inserted the SanDisk 64gb micro sdxc card.
I didnt format it, because it just seemed to work fine without formatting. Now I put all my data on it, but after a restart of the phone the card is suddenly corrupted...
In my phone it recognizes the card, but says its corrupted and needs to formatted. It then ejects the cards for safe removal. In my pc it doesn't recognise the card at all.
Does anyone have an idea on how to recover the data on it?
And what is otherwise the best way to format it?
Thx
RE:- 64GB MicroSDXC errors
I would use a external compatible Micro SDXC reader and connected it to your computer and try and recover the card on the PC. (first)
i) what operating system are you using on the PC.
ex-fat format problem in windows xp. If you have windows 7 it should be able to read ex-fat cards natively.
If you have xp you can try and install the
search for the knowledge base article 955704 on Microsoft Technet support package to enable xp to read ex-fat cards.
In the past I have used my external 9 in one reader to fix corrupted cards to recover the files from them using recuva or similar software it will restore the files onto your pc hard disk.
let me know how you get on.
Thanks a lot for the quick advice.
I don't have an external reader yet, so I ordered one just now. I have win7 on my pc, so I guess that will be ok. I'll try it later this week when I have the reader in.
Once I have it recovered (or not), what is the best practice for setting up the card? What's the best way to format it?

Free PC program Recuva http://www.piriform.com/recuva mount via USB or scard adapter.
Or even try Hexamob (need root) our some other file recovery app
When done, best and easiest to format through phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
I was taking some pictures on my s3 yesterday and randomly the camera went black. The whole phone packed up so I took the battery out and put it in again and started the phone back up.
Now my memory card isn't recognised, and even when I put it into a USB memory card reader to my PC, it doesnt show up either.
If I put the memory card in my phone, and connect my phone to PC using a USB cable, the device shows up under Portable devices, and then shows phone and memory card capacities. But when I click on the memory card, it says no files!
Any help please!? I had loads of photos and videos on the card that I need back!! It won't show up under My computer so using recovery software is pointless.
Thanks
Sounds like your sd card is broken. Just to make sure, try another card reader and another usb port on your computer. If it still doesn't show up, get a replacement.
no matter what , data is gone
try low lever hdd format app
and try re formatting it and seee if u can save ur sd atleast
RECUVA or similar programs may recover some data .

When I put the card in my phone, and connect the phone by USB to my computer, it shows up there, but when I click on it, there's no files. The memory is still showing as being used, but just not accessible.
The card doesn't show by itself on the main My Computer screen.
Here's a screenshot....
