My SD card (Transcend) goes 'missing' once in a while. and the files seems to get corrupt even when I am copying on my WinXP PC (using an SD card reader).
Searching the web I found this Panasonic SD card formatter which claims to format your SD card to be more 'SD compliant' compared to a windows format. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html
Eager to solve my SD problem, I went a head and download this software and perform a format on my SD card. To my horror, after formating, my SD card is only recognized as 1Gb!! Maybe it's only meant to format certain SD card brands, clearly mine is not the case.
If anyone is having this problem, you can download this software to fix your 2Gb SD Card back http://www.ritekusa.com/jsp/SD_Cards_Download.jsp
It does fix my SD card and give me back 2Gb of space. Hopefully after formating it with Pocket Mechanic will make it more compatible with my Dopod D810 and not make my files go corrupt.

Help,
After i flashed my KAISER i have a problem. The sd card is not recognised anymore. Is there a solution for this problem?
I hope so, otherwise i have a brick
Storage card problem
I always used a 4 gig card, just tried an 512 mb card, and that one was recognised. Strange isn't it?
First, which method did you use to flash your new ROM?
If you used the USB method to flash your new ROM, did you remove your SD card during the flash process?
If you used the SD card method to flash your new ROM, did you do a hard reset with your SD card inserted?
Second, do you have an SD card reader for your computer? I would probably try to verify that the file system and data are intact on your SD card. If you have an SD card reader, you can also use it to reformat your card.
If none of this is helpful, provide some more information to fill in the gap between your microSD card working properly and not showing up on your phone.
Re
I flashed to TPCV5.1 full today. No sd in my phone.
My cars reader in the computer doesn't recognise the sd card either.
Strange thing is , when i use an other 4 gig sd card, the phone still doesn't recognise it, my card reader on my computer does, so why not on my phone.
I had a 2 gig sd card, and put all the data again on it, and it's working.
Stilli have a problem that my phone won't recognise a 4 gig sd card.
So far my story.
Does seem odd. What file system is your 4GB card formatted with? If it shows up as "RAW" or anything, I would definately format it to FAT32.
Edit: I was referring to your "other" 4GB card. I don't think I have any advice for the original one.
I just got a new SD card.
After putting it in my phone, android said it looked corrupted. Formatting didn't solve this.
I rebooted into recovery and partitioned my SD card.
After that, the SD card worked just fine, but it's slow.
Only 1.9 MB/s while it's a class 6 SD card.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the SD card, maybe a different way of partitioning it?
there isnt a way to really speed up the card. it might just be a bad card. try formatting it on your pc or mac as FAT32. results will vary with the speeds.
I just got a new revo yesterday, and while poking around I noticed that the 12 Gb of internal memory is mounted as an sd card, while the actual sd card is mounted as a sub dir called _ExternalSD. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yep, you have 16gb internal and 16gb external
Yeah, but the point is that the internal memory is not being mounted as internal, it's being mounted as an sd card (with the actual sd card being a sub directory). I can see several problems with this, mostly with trying to transfer data. Or if you had a 32 GB card that you wanted to use for whatever instead, unless you can specify where a program stores stuff, it's going to store data on the "SD Card", which in this case is not the removable sd card. I guess if you want to transfer stuff you just have to remember to move it all the the "_ExternalSD" sub directory first, or you are going to plug your card in somewere else and wonder why there's nothing on it...
Not sure about your phone but mine saves to the real sd card. things i want on my internal memory, things i want saved on my sd card go to external sd card.
Some info:
LG optimus 2x
MIUI rom
16GB SD card
Fat 32 format
only 392mb used
PC recognises full 16gb (well, 14ish due to formatting) and phone sees 5.50GB. It also says that its only got 40-50mb space remaining which is completely wrong.
I've formatted the SD card through the phone & PC (using the slower format too)
The SD card was used as a recovery SD for my Nook Colour before the current phone and I'm not sure whats wrong.
Any suggestions?
Just to make sure:
Check that you're not looking at the internal sd (since that one is 5.5 GB)
Hmm, how embarrassing. I think I am looking at the internal SD card.
However under the SD card menu, I can unmount/mount the (5.5gb) internal memory and format it (which I've already formatted )
Any thoughts on how to view the external SD card? there doesnt seem to be a menu for it in the MIUI settings
I would look in /mnt/emmc, sound likes the mount points have been switched.
I have the above memory card for my N7000 (Rocket Rom v3) and am having problems verifying its capacity.
H2testw (Windows utility) verified it as having no errors and as 32Gb
ES File Explorer's SD card analyst displays capacity as 11.06Gb
SD Tools displays capacity as 11.6Gb
I have tried copying music (21Gb) to the sdcard using two methods. Firstly connecting the phone as a media device which was very slow and started to throw up errors after a while. Then secondly by removing the SD card from the phone and plugging it into my laptop (Win7) which was far quicker. This second method didn't throw up any errors BUT when I put the card back into my phone no files were found!
I am beginning to think I have a fake SD card which when plugged straight into my laptop is telling it 'Yes I'm a 32GB card' but for some strange reason allows it to copy too many files to the card without complaint. I am going to do some tests to check this out.
In the meantime is there an alternative utility which is guaranteed to verify what my card is either on Android or MS?
Thanks
Please try to do a SD card format on your laptop before putting it in your phone
It might be an issue with its storage that is preventing android from detecting the full size
If that didn't work, try to format the memory card over the phone (using settings)
Best of luck

Okay there were 2 problems, the first one was getting the memory card to be read by my note which I've now managed to do, not sure what I did but there you go, but it certainly wasn't reading before.
The second problem and this is a little embarrassing but when ES File Explorer opens up it displays the contents of the "/sdcard/" by default which on my old desire was the external sdcard but on my note its the internal memory! Not the external sdcard! To view the external sdcard you need to navigate to "/storage/extSdCard/" which is downright misleading unless you come from a Unix mindset of course
SDTools just seems incapable of picking up the external SD card and can only see the internal memory.
