Hi,
When trying to watch movies (divx, avi) through the external SD card, I get the message: unsupported video file. Tried it in a few video player, same error.
BUT
When I copy the videos from the computer to the internal SD - no problem what-so-ever. I see everything.
I tried to copy the video first to the internal SD and then, using the phone, copy from the internal SD to the external SD - same error. Then, I copied it back to the internal SD - still an error!
So, my guess is something happenned to the video while moving to the external SD and it damaged it...
I have a 16GB kingston micro sd card. Other files can be copied and seen easily.
I use 2.1 JG8 version.
any ideas?
Thx,
Roy
yes, seems like your external SD card might be corrupted
just reformat it to FAT32 select the option to Full Format
Quick Format will not fix it

If you are going to format then do it on phone as if you format in desktop the card wont be picked up when you are using external storage mode.

I got my 32GB MicroSDHC Class 6 and wondering if all I need to do is a copy paste and start up my phone...???
You want to back up your SD card on your computer, then boot up your phone with the new SD card and format it
Then copy data from your old card to your new one...

Format? Where do I do that? How do I do that?
There are two ways to format an SD card. 1) put the SD Card in ur phone and goto settings and SD card storage and memory (exact wording may differ) and you should see an option to format the card. ( must not be mounted unmount first)
2) using ur computer but it varies by OS and platform

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.
Hi,
I accidently formatted my internal SD card on my Galaxy, there were still some photo's wich i would like to save.
I know external SD cards can be mounted on computer and then recover files by using recuva or something similiar.
I cannot mount the internal SD as a disk in windows however..
Is there any way i can recover these files after a delete or format, or is it all lost forever?

Maybe if you're lucky.
Try with "Disk tool 6.x".
Depends upon the format carried out for example windows current quick format does not wipe data and can be recovered using something like Recuva tool .
Windows full format since Vista destroys the data .
I would try a recovery tool in the hope that its a quick type format but i dont know what format Android uses .
jje
any link to that ?
is it marketplace or windows app?
the problem is that i cannot mount the internal SD as a disk in windows.
For external SD its different, just put it in a slot and its recognized as H:\ or something then recuva can scan it.
internal SD isnt visible as driveletter. or is there a possibility?
Recuva via google its free .
View internal SD card via USB Mass Storage Mode .
jje
Thanks alot!
Didnt knew there was an option to mount as usb storage mode.
recuva found all missing photo's and movies.
My girlfriend almost killed me yesterday as there was almost 7 months of photo's on the phone.
you made her and me very happy!
Great. Plz mark the thread as solved as it helps people in a better way

I noticed 3 problems with my external SD card:
1. When I copy from PC to my Note some files, sometimes I can't see the files anymore when using the Note after I unplug it from the PC
2. Some movies doesn't play on the external SD card, but the same videos do play on the internal SD card.
3. When I want to flash a ROM, which I copied it from the PC to the external SD card, it aborts and saying the file is bad. BUT, I can flash the SAME ROM from the internal SD card.
Even after formatting the external SD card via the Note, I still have those problems. Even a movie via KIES doesn't work on my external SD card.
Is my external SD card defect? Or am I doing something wrong?

Yes, your external sd card might be defective. Try another one to find out.

Hi, I have copied mkv-files since then, but after one or more files copied to the external SD-card, only the first (sometimes two in cases of coping three or more files) is able to play. The rest are unable to play with different video players.
I tested to copy two of the same movie, but always one wasn't able to play.
Hypothesis: my external SD card is defect. Or am I missing something?

Hi guys,
I tried partitioning my external sd card to linux swap, and something must have gone wrong. Now,a notification on my Galaxy S reads "Damaged SD card - SD card damaged. You may have to reformat it." This was the first thing I tried, but the Internal SD is formatted instead when I try. (Rom bug?). When i mount my phone via USB, only the formatted (damnit) internal SD is found.
I'm currently on TiramiSlim (best rom!!) with Devil 0.94. If you have any help it would be appreciated, any further questions don't hesitate!

In first i think that partition ext sd card is useless but it's my opinion.
In fact if you want to recover your ext sd i advise you to reformat your sd card with the windows disk utility: you select all volumes, delete them and recreate a new one with ntfs format (android will do his work when you'll insert your sd in the device).
If it doesn't work try to make the same but with a Linux system (Linux is powerful ^^).
Please reply me your results.
Have you tried to format the SD card with an SD Adapter & then make sure that USB debug is enabled on the device.
I had this issue.
Sometimes it shows that the card is damaged & then it reads it later on!
I plugged the Card into my Digi-Cam Formatted it.
Changed the Rom.
Now it works.
Anyways safely remove the drive when plugged into a computer!
i don't have an sd-card adapter unfortunately, the only way i can plug it in is via my phone. I cannot seem to find a disk utility on windows that will read the external sd, i can only find the internal from my computer.
i will try and get hold of an sd-adapter and let you know if it works
fixed the problem!

how did you fix the problem?
My phone recognizes the internal storage but i keep getting "sd card is damaged, try reformatting it" in the notification bar.
when I click on format, it says "unmounting sd card" but nothing happens.
Thanks,
Luke
*edit.. nvm.
I put my SD card in my old x10 and in settings/storage I erased my SD card.
Works fine now
