2GB sd card is now 980mb???? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

has anyone had this prob with there sd card, my card was 2gb but now its only shows 980mb its happened since iv used the new build wm6 any ideas

format yourcard: /FS:FAT /V:Sd Card /A:64k /X

yeah, just format your card. It's not the ROM.

thanks guys.. back to norm now

OK, now another similar one.
My 4GB card has gotten spoiled. Now, only 2GB is available after re-format in Card Reader. I tried re-formatting, but it never gave me back 4GB.
I do understand there could be special way to do it, as 4GB is >= 2GB which is about biggest positive 32-bit binary number...
Any insights?

I had that problem.. it's a problem with the card reader. Some card readers can't identify cards beyond 2Gb. Here's what I did, I plugged the card on my Universal... used USB HDD/WM5 Storage then formatted it on Windows. Try it.

That happened to my 4GB card awhile back. I fixed it by deleting the partition and doing a full reformat using... i think it was a toshiba utility.
I can't remeber any more details then that though

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

Copying SD cards?

If i upgrade my microSD card from 4GB to 8gb can i just do a copy from one card to the other on XP or do i have to reinstall everything on the 8gb once i get it? I have apps and cache as well as music etc on the 4GB card
Is there anyway at all to make this process of change-over easier (including the ext partition)?
thank
anyone? has anyone done this?
You should be able to if you repartition your new SD card with an ext2 partition for your apps and if you keep everything the same as it was before on your 4GB sd card.

i went from 2G -> 8G and it worked just fine .. two things i did (just because i'm picky) .. labeled the partitions the same
FAT32 "sdc1"
EXT2 "sdc2"
i did everything by means of Ubuntu/Linux .. created two folders on my desktop sdc1/sdc2 and did a click-and-drag of the files .. put the new card into the phone and done

[Q] SD Card Problem

Can someone help me on this.. every time i plug my sd card to the PC it says "Format disk?" and when i plug it to my phone, it says "Blank Sd card". i can't reformat it and i can't access the files in my sd card..
i've tried several formatting tools, revery tools, but none of them work..
My sd card is SanDisk 2GB MicroSD card..
i Hope there is a solution..
There are a ton of threads on this. Search through and use a couple of them.
Sounds like you have a bad card or your are not unmounting the card in your phone.
Some viruses and rootkits will prevent your pc from formatting or recognizing external media. Verify your computer can recognize other cards.
yeah i know there are lots of threads about this.. but , no luck, non of them work..i plugged it at other devices and still the same.. xD w/c means sandisk is bad?

same **** happened to me..(twice!) and appaerantly there isn't any easy way to recover an sd card from that state. Easiest (though most expensive) solution is to just buy a new one..
Yep - sounds like its broke. BUT consider that back in the day a floppy disk would run you $1 or $2. If you scaled that up a 2gb card would cost $1,400 to $2,800.
Makes me want to go backup.
sound like its broken, but try to use minitool partition wizard.
use this settings:
-Choose Create as Primary.
-Patrition type Ext2
-Cluster size 4Kb Cluster size 4Kb

Format SD Card As Internal Storage Issue

So I was able to format the 64GB SD card as internal storage and it now appears under the Storage menu. However, whenever I connect my phone to the PC to transfer some files to it, I can only see the main memory and not the extra space. So what is the benefit of doing the above if I am not able to use this additional space for files management and media storage?
Anyway I can solve that?
You may have not installed the correct/latest driver. I actually just tried this for the first time and it's the opposite. I could see my 64 GB microSD card, but not the internal storage (and yes, I did format it as internal).
the same for me, i can format like sd card , when I formated like internal storage , display me a warning (slow card) if I wish to continue, I said yes and then tell me damage SD Card .... any help please!!! sorry about my english....
my card is a SanDisk 32gb microSDHC UHS-I Class 10
I have 65 gig formatted as internal on my PC it shows as 80 gig well 74 gig really I also tried 64 gig SD card bought from eBay and told me card corrupt and ended up buying one from reputable company locally and works flawlessly

I had the same issue when I was rooted with S-ON. I have now gone back to stock and all seems to be working fine. Think it's got something to do with security/encryption maybe, I could be wrong but just a thought.

ok... I have root and s-on.... then thats the problem.... thanks....
btw if anyone advanced user have the solution... please.... thanks...
Maybe it's normal
I think it's normal. My unrooted A9 has an SD card formatted as internal storage too. When it's connected to a PC, only "Internal Storage" will be shown because it's merged by the device's internal storage and the SD card together.
You can see the space of "Internal Storage". It should be around 16G/32G (internal) + 64G (SD card).
Hope the above helps.

After trying it a several times and restarting the phone, all I can get now is the internal storage of the memory card. The additional 16 GB of the phone's original memory don't even show
Same **** for me. But my internal shows up as 10 GB?

I ended up giving up and sticking to using my 64gb SD as internal storage
Yea I went root last night and notice i can no longer see my 32gb sandisk :/

Problem

and what the maximum amount of the SD card can be used as system memory? I have a card to 64GB, and when you try to make it a system unit for a long time it formats, but it is empty and then says that the card is damaged, but if you use it like a regular card, it works fine and displays. Do not tell me what could be the problem?

My coworker had that issue with his 64gb card. But my 32 and 128 worked fine. Try formatting the sd card as fat32 maybe, then attempting to have it "adopt"?

it is not clear yet because using a USB flash drive to 32GB everything works fine, and the phone does its system memory.
