I flashed my Wallaby with this SD-Card according to the instructions given in the Wiki. I formatted the SD-Card then with the Wallaby and again on the PC (both FAT and FAT32). It works perfectly on the PC (Notebook Samsung Q25 embedded card reader), but does not do so on the Wallaby: The device does recognizes something (PHMTools AutoPlay recognizes it when I remove and add the SD Card), but the explorer/TotalCommander does not see it. I have tried Pocket Mechanic, but it does not see it either.
Interestingly, when I connect the SD Card to my Laptop using an external card reader (Datalux DLX-1614), it the SD Card does not work either: When I try to format it with the Windows XP software, it states the card has 800 MB (!) and does not provide any possibility to format it.
I think the SD card is "somehow" formatted so that the sophisticated Samsung Cardreader recognizes it, but the others do not. I need a good formatting program for Windows XP which solves the problem and would be grateful for any recommendation.
Has anybody ever had a similar problem?
Thank you very much in advance.

i put 512mb miniSD card from Nokia n73 and after short sound when inserting that card nothing happened.
Explorer does not show Storage card folder
and in settings / Memory there is 'card not installed'
it this some problem with miniSD card formating? fat16, fat32?
or what???
anybody
help
the reason would be that nokia formats the cards in a slightly different way than WM does.
i would suggest you to safe any data you like to keep on your desktop and format the card via cardreader or in the treo (if possible). afterwards copy all data back on it.
normally at that stage it should be correctly recognized by the treo AND the nokia. give it a try.
i need a software that can format my qtek 9100 memory card as there is no option on my ppc that offers to or allows me to format it. so pleaze let me know.
get the sdformatter from panasonic. It works perfectly and properly. Since you have an HTC Wizard, Make sure to format it in either FAT12 if 512mb or under or FAT16 if over 512mb. This is the proper formatting per the specifications.
Also, please make sure that you do NOT have an SDHC card. If you do, please return it, and buy a regular SD card.

can i install this software on my qtek 9100 or is it for my pc?
It is for your PC. There is a formatter around somewhere that will run on the PPC, but I don't remember the name of it. It was included in a rom I ran long ago.
maaaan, well if u do remember it or so then please drop me a line a'ight.
I don't know of any PPC app that can format a card (never needed one), but if your problem is that you don't have a card reader then you can run WM5Storage on your phone. It'll make your card look like it was a USB flash drive when you connect the phone to your computer via USB, instead of running ActiveSync.
This makes your phone act as a card reader and you can format the card as a usual drive (on Win, you need to right-click the drive in My Computer and there's formatting option there).
Not exactly what you wanted, but might help.

Oh nice! I had never used WM5Storage, even though it has been included on many of the roms I have run over the 2 years I have had my phone. Good to know!

Thanks for the Info i am updated today as well regarding WM5Storage. Appreciated.
try pocket mechanic - it has a format card option on it
Hey everyone,
I have a 1gb micro sd card. It apparently has bad blocks and cannot be recognized by my 8525 (WM6.1), vista pc or xp sp2 pc. I have the programs to recover the info on it, but none of these programs are effective because the card doesn't show up as a drive.
I am attempting to access the card directly from the phone. With the pc's I have an usb adapter that I know works because I use it for my 8gb micro sd card to swap information.
Can some one give me an answer on how to either fix the bad blocks or make the card recognizable by the ppc or pc's? The recovery programs I have say they will get info off a formated card, but I can't format what the phone or pc's doesn't recognize.
Thanks.
which apps did you try?
if if i'm not mistaken i managed to recover a card using Active Recovery 7
The easiest way for me was, plug your card back to where it gave you a bad blocks, and it should be readable, then backup your datas there,.
this is what i did to my 2GB miniSD for Olympus e520 SLR Camera (the camera lost now),.
I plug it in to my friend laptop, then it cant be readable by any device, then i plug it again, and its readable, then i back it up, then i leave the miniSD,.
Hey G, Thanks for the reply. The card went bad in a digital camera. So I should place the microsd card in the camera, use the usb cord to connect to the pc, remove the usb cord once the card doesn't read, then reconnect the usb cord?

I have a 16gb micro sd card, worked fine, i formatted it to fat32 while it was in a phone that was connected to windows vista laptop. then when i took it out and put it in phone it wasnt recognised, so i put it in my friends android phone and it says it needs formatting, i click format but nothing happened, i put it into a computer it comes up as a removable disk saying please insert disk, when i go to manage on the computer and find it, only thing i can do is change the letter, and its coming up as 0 bytes. Any ideas?
Somebody must have an idea?
Try to format it under Linux.
If that does not work either, RMA it or throw it into the dustbin if out of warranty.
i only have a phone to put it in, i dont have a sd card reader, and when i put it in my n900 it doesnt come up under linux.
Shrug; SD card reader is given out for free with many SD cards... or borrow one from someone?
I have a sd card reader just not a slot for a micro sd, but surely if it doesnt come up on my n900 running linux then it wont with a card reader?

What slot? There are USB adapters, and there are miniSD/microSD to SD adapters for normal card readers (again, this is normally part of the package when you buy the SD card, where the hell did you get yours to get nothing of this?).
Do NOT try this via another phone, it simply is not useful. If the phone does not recognize the card, there is nothing for the PC to do. Phone attached via USB is NOT a card reader, it acts as a mass storage device.
Im trying a friends card reader tomoz but i dont have huge hopes.
Well, imagine that i have that card but it seems to be dead or so, when i use an adapter and put it into my laptop's card reader, or i use the USB card adapter i cannot get the card shown in windows explorer of my Win 7 x64.
When i go to Computer Management > Disk Management, the card is not shown on the top window, but on the bottom one, it is shown, but when i right click on it there is nothing i can do except of changing drive letter.
Any ways of reanimating, reformatting the card? I do not care about the data in it, i want the card to be usable. Thanks
Anyone?
you need a update please check your windows update there is ad update for support of sd up 32 GB
Well, the card is 64 GB, not up to 32.
What i mean that this card used to work before, i could transfer files to it, but then after a month i cannot access it
