What your going to do is, copy all your files from your old SD card to a space on your hard drive. Then, insert the new SD card into your phone, format it, and only after you have formatted inside the phone, you can put your files you copied to your hard drive onto the new SD card. Just drag and drop. Simple.
p.s. This is just what I would do. Might be a faster way

If you are using apps 2 sd, here is what I did. Made a nandroid back up with extension. Copied everything off my sd card to my computer including the nandroid back up. Inserted the new card into the phone and booted into recovery. Partitioned the new card appropriately for apps 2 sd. Copied the files back onto the sd card. Wiped data, dalvick, and ext while in recovery then restored the nandroid back up. Everything should work then.

If you're not running a2sd copy to pc and then on to the new card after you've formatted

Question about SD card

For some reason my sd card just started saying I have errors with it and it might need to be formatted. If I copy everything from the sd to the computer, format the card, then copy it all back, will it mess up any settings I have? It is able to read the card in recovery.

[Q] "SD card blank or has unsupported file system"

Hi all. I've been doing some research on this for some time now, and I haven't been able to find anything of relevance.
I have a 32GB Kingston microSD card that my phone cannot read. I get the following error:
"Bank External SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported file system."
When I try to format it with my Galaxy [2.2 legit froyo], it will still not let me mount it. Now this SD card may be FAT32 or it maybe NTFS - I'm not too sure, but which ever one it is, my phone doesn't like!
I don't know how to access this memory card via my computer, I was wondering if there was a fix for this or if there was a program on the Market that will allow me to format back and forth with NFTS and FAT32 through my phone?
I've tried everything, whatever I do just does no work, so please don't be telling me to make sure I've put it in correctly or take it out and put it back in because they simply do not work.
Thanks in advance...

No? Bump... Please help me, I hate having no space on my phone!

Try using a card reader and see if shows up on the computer. Sd formatter has worked for me before to bring an unresponsive card back. Do a google for sd formatter.

How can I go about actually connecting my microSD to the computer..?

You will need an sd card reader and the adapter for the micro sd.

[Q] Planning to change my SD Card.

Hello!
I'm planning to change my Xperia X8's SD Card.
I'm using Racht's custom rom, 2.2.1 CM Floyo v0.20, also found in XDA forums.
Of course, this offers the use of apps2SD.
Would it be ok if I just copy-paste the contents of my old SD Card to my new one?
Would I still be able to use (without any problems) the apps I transferred to my SD card from the phone storage?
In other words, will all my files (apps2SD transferred files also) in the old SD card still work if I just copy-paste them to the new SD Card?
Very sorry if my explanation is complicated.
Thanks!

Yes it should be fine.

How did the change of SD Card go?
Im about to do the same thing and was wondering i its possible to copy all contet from current SD Card to my PC and then copy it to the new SD Card.

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't really changed it yet due to my busy schedule. Hopefully, I would be able to find time.
I'll keep you updated!

As long as you did not partition the sd card with extended file system or any other fs that only linux can detect, there should not be a problem.

If you have partitioned your old SD card with ext3 partition you can use any Linux live CD to simply copy/paste to your new card

superuser_

is mandatory to have two partitions with the same floyo0, 25. a standard card does not work like a normal android 2.2. roms or they also use the second partition as root and do the first time and we have to install link2sd to transfer apps to the memory card.

multiboot option
if u haven't already changed sd cards try to get a class 6 sd card as there have been multiboot options released, cm6 on phone memory and cm7 on sd card. check out multiboot thread on x8 development. two roms on one phone, its all gravy my friend.

how about a class 10 card? will it work on x8?

i think it will ok.

I changed from an 8 GB card to a 16. No problem at all. But my card doesn't support Multiboot. If you get a class 6 or higher you should be fine. You just need to copy a few files from the old card and it works fine.

I have just copied and pasted everything from one card to another, and it worked. It is great that now with rachts and doixhan's roms we have the support for app2sd!

Do you know if there is any way to test the speed of the SD directly from the phone? Thank you in advice!

I also am about to change out my SD card. I just upgraded from the stock 8gb card that I had partitioned which I did through ROM Manager to a brand new 16gb Class 10 SDcard
Is it also as simple as copying and pasting from my old SD card contents to the new one and boot it back up? Or would this delete the old ROM and stock ROM off of my SD card? I also wanted to know if I needed to partition this new card as well and if so, at what point do I do that?
I know this is probably really easy but I am new to flashing ROMS which is why I wanted to get a bigger and faster card! Thanks!

I thought the lower number of class like class two was faster than say a class ten? I've been wondering this and saw this post. What do you guys think is faster?
Class 2 or 10?

new sd card

Hey guys I'm planning to replace my stock sd card, I just want to know how to copy all my files (apps+data) to the new sd card? Can titanium back up do all this? or do I need to manually copy all the files in my old sd card to the new sd card (copy and paste method)?
I don't want to start all over again so if anyone can help me.

If you want to be sure just copy all the folders and files from the old card to the new card. That would be enough.

I change my stock 2GB with 8GB, done with just copy-paste.. from stock sdcard copied to computer (also as my backup) then copy to new sdcard.

are you sure that its already enough? how about the datas? like saved games, files etc?

1.- Remove sdcard from OB.
2.- Copy all the stuff to your computer. A simple copy-paste.
3.- Copy from your computer to the new sd card.
4.- Insert the new sd card and enjoy.

Don't worry, the phone still read the same as before from sdcard. My game "Asphalt 5 HD" is still working after the data moved to new sdcard.
Well, you should try it for sure...

I've forgotten something very important!!!!!!
2.1.- Insert the new sd card into your OB.
2.2.- Format it through settings.
2.3.- Remove the card.
Complete!

¿¿¿¿¿?????

There's not much to elaborate on this matter, I'll try to put it as simple as possible:
1. Unmount old SD card in Android
2. Pull off an old SD card (the device doesn't need to be switched off)
3. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD card content to your PC.
4. Put new SD card in Android device.
5. Unmount it in Settings/SD Card
6. Format it in this menu
7. Pull off a new SD card.
8. Using microSD/SD card adapter, copy old SD content from PC to your new SD
9. Put new SD card in Android device.
DONE
I didn't go through 4-7, but formatted new SD card as FAT32 in PC, and it works well.

thanks for all the help guys.
