Hello all,
sometimes my HTC magician does not recognize my 2gb sd card.
When this happens, a message pops up asking me if I want to format the card.
If I take out the card and reinsert it into the device, everything's fine (card woks like a charm).
Is there any way to disable the "do you want to format" system message? Because if I press "OK" accidentially (e.g. when the phone is in my pocket), everything on the card would be erased.
So, does anyone of you know of any registry tweak / program / workaround to disable this message? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in avance!!
if i were you i'd put the card into a pc cardreader copy what it have to the pc
and say yes when it ask to format
reasons:
1. the file system could be getting corrupt
2. card could be die'ing
3. sd slot in phone could be die'ing
removing a system warrning like that would result in nothing but tears
Thanks for the advice, already did that.
But still, the card works fine, only sometimes the message pops up and I want to know if there#s a way to disable it.
I just formatted my SD Card through the settings menu and now it won't mount. When I hit "mount" it says "Preparing SD Card" in the notification bar, followed immediately by "SD Card safe to remove" and "Blank SD Card."
Anyone know a way around this? I can't use so many apps because they require the SD card
Edit: I solved this by putting the card on a camera. It magically reappeared.

hey at first on which phone ?
and have you tried formatting the SD at the pc @ FAT32 ?
greets
It's on a mytouch 4G with cyanogenmod 6.1 and I can't mount it on the pc (windows 7 x64) or right click anything to format because it won't recognize it. I've tried a lot from other threads and google searches like uninstalling and reinstalling the disk drive driver in device manager and rebooting everything and doing multiple battery pulls :/
Try this:

To fix the SD cards I booted into Ubuntu Linux, opened terminal and then;
1. Boot into Linux
2. Open Terminal
3. type 'sudo killall hald' and press enter
4. type 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb' and press enter (this took about 20 mins per card)
5. Used GParted to recreate the MBR and format the volumes.

Worked for me.
I don't have Linux..
well i formatted my SD card because i had to partition it, so i backed up all the contents on my SD to my computer.
the partitioning went well, but now i have a blank SD card. and whenever i try to copy back the stuff from my computer to the SD card, i get some weird error like "the path is too deep to copy the file" or something along those lines.
i tried it thrice, but each time it failed. i don't have a card reader, so i was copying using the standard USB wire.
any suggestions as to what i should do?
I had this once go to my computer then right click your sd card then click on properties then click on hardware then click on ST340015A (may be different but it's should be close) then click on properties then click policies and the bit where it says enable write cache if it's a tick then untick it and restart if there is no tick then tick it and restart. Hope it works for you.

Pull down the notification bar.press the mass mount storage.and then press connect.Hope it will solve your promblem.Or just go and buy a SD Card reader.it happens when partitioned your SD card.
Its an effect of sd partitioning...
Copy files in small amounts like 5 folders at a time...
I have this problem whenever I flash a custom kernel, now I use dual mount sd widget I don't face any such problem...

Hello guys I have Sony Xperia e dual (c1605 android 4.1.1). I brought 4gb micro sdhc class 4 card. When I saved musics and images there after some time some musics can't be played and images can't be shown. Also if I save unknown type files on it(java games and android games data and obb files) insted of them appears a lot of files with unknown symbol names. I cant delete them and es file explorer shows that folder size up to 400 gb. Please help me, its my phone problem or sd external card? I hope I explained my problem well.
Hello,
Well, first of all, it's probably a phone problem. Second of all, WHY BUY A CLASS 4? Man, those things are slooooooooooooooow. But I'll try to help! So:
Option 1: try to move every file on the external sd to the internal memory (if you have enough space left), power off your device. Put your sd card back in, and reboot the phone. Then try to move the files you moved earlier to the internal storage, back to the sd card. See if it works.
Option 2(requires pc): power off your device. Important! Otherwise your phone could go to an endless rage of force closes. Believe me, you don't want to have that. It's not harmful nor wil it brick your device. It's just plain annoying.
Remove the sd card, and put it in your card reader, and then into your pc. Backup the content(important!). Then go to your main folder in the computer(probably called: Computer ). Right click on the sc card symbol-> choose Properties, and then search for the tab where it says ''format''. So format it, just keep it FAT32.
Wait for it to be finished, and then move the back-upped content back to the sd. Insert sd card in powered off phone, and reboot. If this doesn't work, I would be really amazed .
Succes, and have a nice day!
Hope I helped!

About 1st method for that reason I don't save anything on my ext card(internal sd.) and it will not work because I try reboot and format by Settings->Storage->Earse SD card. But this happens agaist with other files or same if I redownload/move. If I tern off my mobile or unmount sd card than folder with that files is deleted. Thanks for trying helping me
Yesterday, I dumped the whole internal memory of my phone into the SD Card by using the command:
#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/dump.img
Next day, when I rebooted the phone, I was greeted with the message "SD Card is damaged. Try reformatting it." When I pressed format, it showed "Erasing SD Card" and after sometime the message appeared again.
So, I brought out the SD Card and put into my computer (by inserting it into a dongle; as I don't have an adapter). Astonishingly, I could read all data of the SD Card, but couldn't write to it. Any file I place there, disappears after refreshing. When I tried to format the card, a window appeared saying "Windows cannot format this device".
So, I googled a bit about these and did the following things:
1. Used a third-party formatting software (SDFormatter by SD Association) : It says that the USB is write protected.
2. Checked the SD card for any physical write protection switch : There was none.
3. Ran the disk management by right clicking "My Computer" > Manage : It gives the same error that the disk cannot be formatted.
3. Tried to delete the volume and create a new simple volume from disk management : The "Delete Volume" button is not clickable
4. Used the diskpart utility to create a new partition by the command "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" : It does not work. It says that "No usable free extent could be found. It could be that ....." etc.
5. Tried to clear read-only mode by using "attributes disk clear readonly" from diskpart : Even after that the disk is not writable
6. Tried to use chkdsk from command prompt : It gives an error in the middle everytime saying that "/dump.img is a false link" and after that the disk becomes non-readable and chkdsk crashes, saying that the source files could not be read.
So, please help me. The card was not physically damaged in any way, so it must be possible to bring it back to its original state. Any help is appreciated.
