4GB SD card problem - General Topics

I have just received the Adata 4GB SD card.
I have the following problems:-
I have tried 2 card readers on my computer although one recognizes the card with correct memory size when I try to format the card I get a window at the end of the format saying that windows was unable to format the card. I know there are issues with some card readers so I tried it on my XDA Exec. I format the card and I can transfer files on it with Activesync. But I cannot save photos or videos taken from the camera of the XDA Exec. The worst part is when I try to install software to my exec and I install it to storage card although it installs I search for the installed program and I find it’s not in the storage card but in the exec memory. I tried formatting with Pocket Mechanic and Storage Tools with same results. I also tried again on my PC card reader with Panasonic’s CardFormatter but cannot recognize the device although it recognizes my 128MB SD card. I have checked the forum for solutions but found nothing conclusive. Anyone has solved this problem and can help me before I send the card back?

SD Card Problem

I left my sd card in my XDA when i flashed it and now it will not read in the XDA or in my card reader. Anything i can do to sort it or is it a fried card?
Have you tried to format the card in an USB memory-card reader/writer ?
JiC
How do i do that? It will not detect a card?
tried pocket mechanics ?
Have now tried pocket mechanics but it says 'could not format with the specified cluster size'. Have also tried flash format but says it is unable to format as other programs are trying to read/write to the card. I have tried closing all other programs etc before running flash format.
Any other ideas? In my pc card reader it says no card is found.
Help!
maybe the card is dead i had a flash card die on me once for no good reason
guess 1 thing you could try is to put the card in a digital cam or some other device to see if that can format it

Storage card cant be deleted

I have a Storage card (SanDisk Micro SDHC, 8 gb) in my HTC P3650 (Polaris) with WM6.
Since yesterday I can't access a few photo files. They are corrupted.
I tried to delete them, but it wasn't possible. I even couldn't delete anything.
So I tried 'format'. Even this formating couldn't delete any file.
It is also not possible to save files on storage card.
how can I reset or delete or format the storage card?
Solution
Hey,
once got the same problem.
I used software to format the card.

The program should be fine, the limited shareware edition is enough to clear the card once.
Have fun dude,

Does the same thing happen if its in a computer or another phone?

Try to format the card as FAT instead of FAT32 using your computer. FAT32 format is good when you install a new ROM. I find that FAT work good with the Treo
i dont have a minisd card reader on my computer..is there any way to format the card through the device??
so i dl flash format and when i select the drop down box only FAT32 is available option...
find someone with a usb memory card reader

Damaged SD Card

Hi guys,
My phones micro-sd card has been acting strange and was not being recognized at times by my phone. I then proceeded to put it in its SD card adapter and put it in my Mac and got an error saying the card was unreadable. I then put it in a reader on my PC and everytime I try to access the drive it gives me the 2 errors, "You need to format the drive...etc" and after clicking cancel it says that my drive is an unrecognized file format.
Recuva says it can't read the boot sector and running chkdsk gives me the message that the file format is RAW.
Just tried running ReclaiMe file recovery and it says the card is only 30.6MB while it is actually a 32GB card.
Do you guys think there is any hope? Or should I just move on?
Any help would appreciated. Got a lot of pictures and music I would love to save on the drive, plus ROM backups.
Thanks so much

I've killed an SD card before.. not sure how.. it had been partitioned EXT3 for a rom on a desire.. then re-formatted to normal..
but the problem came months after without notice one day the camera was failing and the gallery wouldn't open..
I tried a new SD card and things were fine so I figured the SD card died
Try to use MiniTool Partition Wizard on your pc, and delete ext partition and swap stay only on fat32. if that does not work format your card to exfat. If that doesn`t work try use program "winhex"(before i used it, my computer hadnt read my card). I repaired my card 3 times these methods.
You can use this ONLY on memory card reader.

sd card can't format or do anything

hey guys! i bought an sd card 32gb Sandisk. i inserted in my phone and was working. i put the card in the usb adapter that was with card and then on my pc. i started transfering my files but all of a sudden it says that i need to format the sd card and that the sd had write protection. i tried to format the card but it says windows was anaible to complete the format. i tried to remove the protection using cmd but nothing happens. i tried sd formatter, and the disk management. still nothing. and my phone doesn't recognize the card anymore. i mounted it in my camera and said the card is not ready. and when i try to format i have ntsf and exfat as options and not fat32. oh.. and when i used sd formatter, although the card is 32gb it said 64gb the first time and when i retry it it said 1tb!! lol! and now it says nothing at all. just blank.
i don't know what to do... help me...
