Help formatting sd card

i have tried this with 2 different micro sd cards. both 1gb. 1 sandisk, the other is a samsung. both work fine in the g1 and if i connect to my laptop (windows) i can access the files and everything as normal. when i right click and tell it to format however it ejects itself and i have to remount. i do not have an adapter to put it in my card reader, so this is the only way i can do it. can anyone tell me what i'm either doing wrong or a quick fix for this?
dont know man cuz i didnt hve that problem sorry dude
The g1 doesn't like it when you do that. If you don't have the adapter. Your only option that I know of is to format it is from android itself in the system options. Sorry to hear about your situation

I have/had the same issue, so i will tell you what i did and maybe it will help. I formatted my sd card on the RC33 update in fat32 and from the computer.(when the g1 liked the sd card).
My suggestion if you don't want to downgrade to upgrade..is to stick the card in another phone that can connect to your computer and format it that way.
Upgraded to cupcake (what ever version you want). Then the g1 was reading my 4gb card wrong. So i removed all info on the sd card just copied to folder on pc and formatted the sdcard through the phone. From there it was reading the card correctly. To go on, i then partitioned with apps2sd. Placed all info back on sd card and waa laa...like magic...or dream...or hero...i dunno confusing...who's on first?

help me please my hd2 could not detect memory card

hi i installed wp7 then after it i go back to win mo 6.5
but my device can not detect my micro sd card i format it and i change my sd card with new one but my device said no sd card include in tools format sd card said # the storage card has been damaged and unable to be formated #
i do every thing after this problem with my device changing rom install nand android and re install wp7 but non of them can detect memory card i do hard reset , task 29
is it soft wear problem or hard wear problem????
please help me urgent
So you are saying that you previously had WP7..So after changing ROM (windows 6.5 or Android) you need to format your card with Panasonic SD formater so it can read the full capacity of your card....BUT.....! You are saying that you did all this steps and still your device doesn't recognize your sd card and also you changed the card with a new one! HMMMMM......
Most probably a hardware problem (sd card holder and reader in the device)
Imo something went wrong with Installation or so! Dunno!
Some guys here said that WP7 will burn your card or something!
What SD cards did you use?
Anyone else that experienced this problem????

Nexus One Thinks All SD Cards Are Blank

I'm having a weird problem with a Nexus One. It had a 2GB microSD card in it that seemed to go corrupt (all the file names went crazy) so I reformatted it and it happened again within minutes. So today I bought a new 8GB microSD card and and the Nexus now gives the error of "Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem." It is unable to format the card, but it doesn't give an error. I tried formatting the card to FAT32 on my computer, still the phone thinks it is blank/unsupported.
I'm hoping the SD slot isn't fried... any thoughts?
You could try reformating the SD card in a computer using SDformater with erase on.
I have the same problem for a few weeks now. My phone can't seem to read the sd card at all. Thought it was the sd card so I bought a new one, but problem remains. I know both cards work (have tested them in another phone and the computer reads them). I've tried formatting the card in the phone and reformatting with erase on using SDFormatter in my computer but my phone refuses to read it. Think it might be my sd slot as well...
Currently running CM 7.1.0. Haven't tried a factory reset or flashing another ROM (how would one go about doing that with no sd card?) as I'm not too keen to lose that data if I can help it.
Did you manage to fix it?
I was not able to fix it and after many hours of troubleshooting, so I gave up. Good luck to you, and please reply if you find a solution.

[Q] Captivate - cannot see SD card

Samsung i897- given to me used, Original owner said never used the sd card slot as it never came with one.
I hit flash to stock from the phone menu, it is at O/S version 2.2.
I am trying a sandisk micro sdhc 8 gb.
I put the card in the phone, the external sd was/is greyed out for mount and format.
I tried the disc in my pc and it read as fat, so I reformatted it as fat, and it still does not show in the phone.
I tried putting files on it when connected to the pc, and it worked.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is this a common problem for this phone? Does the card need to be named something special? I looked in the manual and cannot even find what format the card should be (fat,ext4 etc).
Thanks in advance.

OK so,
Tried Formatting the sd as NTFS? what kernel do you have? what compilation of froyo do you have?
External SD is mounted as vfat.
Can you see the SD card by using a usb adaptor outside of the phone? If not, try another card. If yes, format it there as a fat and try again in phone.
