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.
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?

Hi,
i'm having serious problems with the SD card on my Milestone. Let me explain :
1. If i try any generic app which tries to access the SD card, it says it's not there (Camera says "Please insert a SD card", other apps say similar warnings).And i can't use "update.zip" on recovery mode
2. Settings>SD card & phone storage says Unavailable to everything, like if the card is not mounted.
3. Recovery mode say "can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Any ideas ?
Try cleaning the gold contacts on the sd card an the sd card holder...
Also try seeing if the sd card works on an external sd card reader
Hope this helps

If it works fine in a card reader, it might be the card slot in the Milestone that might be broken.

Have you ever been brick sdcard? Also possible that so many people use android brick sdcard failed. I think the milestone card reader works fine: (
I would recommend taking your SD card, backing up the contents to your computer, and then doing a non-quick format on the SD card. There's something corrupt about the filesystem of the SD card that the phone does not like, and a format of the SD card should repair things again.

What format are you putting it in? If it is in NTFS, I believe it will not recognize it.

No,i format with Fat32. It still not recognize Milestone don't have bootloader. If have it,i can fix
I'm currently having the EU issue with my phone and trying to partition my 16gb external sd card to flash on it. (I'm no longer have access to my internal one)
However, I'm not so sure why I'm not seeing the Partition SD card option under /advance in CWM ( my CWM version is 6.0.1.9) ???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I'm not sure if that works very well anyway... I recommend you use an external sd adapter with your computer.

Hello guys!
I have 16GB micro SD card and I can't put a movie larger than 4 GB.
my card is formatted as fat32, but I've managed to install paragon+ and mount ntfs card but I still can't copy file larger than 4GB.
Or to be more precise, I can save file via PC on SD card, but all applications don't recognize file.
I have tried with both 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Does anyone know how to solve this?
paragon didn't mount exfat.

It's an android limitation. Android has not NTFS support out of the box. I was sure it supported exFAT (our big brother does AFAIK) but after formatting my 16 GB class 10 SDcard my phone didn't recognize it anymore So, FAT32 and no 4GB+ files
However there's a good chance CyanogenMod supports these file systems (at least exFAT) out of the box

Get a live USB stick for any Linux distro and try saving it that way.
AW: [Q] micro SD card exfat
It should be possible to reformat the card as ext2/3/4. Android would support it natively. The only issue would be for Windows users to install a kind of driver to use it.

I've solved it.
I've formatted 16 GB SD drive half as fat32 and half as ext4, and then i've made a script to mount ext4 to /mnt/storage3 folder.
Now I can dowbload torrents larger than 4GB.
@oskreso, can you share the script?
