Using HTC Cavalier with WM6, trying to get my mail stored on the storage card.
The registry edits work to direct the mail onto the storage card, but when the phone boots up, the storage card does not start soon enough and the mail program creates a "Storage Card" directory in main memory. Then when the "real" storage card starts, the phone renames it to "Storage Card2" which messes everything up big time.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Please help.
I have tried renaming the in-memory storage card directory to "Storage Card.bak" and rebooting, but then I get yet another "Storage Card" created in main memory in addition to the "Storage Card.bak" and "Storage Card2".

I'm using WM6 (mUn), and I'd like to store my e-mail on my SD Card. But the card takes too long to mount, so when Cingular 8125 boots up, it creates a new "Storage Card" folder to put the mail in, and mounts my actual Storage Card as "Storage Card2"...
If I remove the "PropertyPath" value in the Registry, it mounts my card normally, but my e-mail (poutlook.exe) is placed in "Windows\Messaging" on the main memory. This seriousl limits the amount of mail I can have in poutlook. (I am storing attachments on the SD card - but that is insufficient for what I need.)
I know that the problem is related to order things happen at boot time (and after a power-on restart), but is there a solution to this _ANNOYING_ design flaw from Microsoft?
Is there any way to talk to Microsoft about this issue - clearly any other "computer" mounts it's storage devices before it starts looking for places to store things. Why does Windows Mobile (all versions) choose to do this in such a retarded way?

Ummm...have you renamed the new folder it creates to storage card.bak, then reboot and put your card back in and see if it stops doing that.
This is a common problem on the Tmobile Wizard I am using, that solved my problem.
But, it stopped doing that since I went to Xplore rom. Also, remove messagin from the today screen, it might be what is also causing it.
Good luck.
I have a HTC Touch (Elf) with the 1GB memory card.
When I download or install something, even if I tell it to save to memory card, it still seems to go onto the internal memory. I don't quite understand what's going on, but it is of course limiting what I can do as the internal memory is very small.
When selecting install location as 'Storage Card' its as if the shortcut to that is pointing to some location on internal memory, as checking the memory usage shows my internal memory depleting and my storage card not changing.
Unless I move files by cutting and pasting afterwards.
Cheers in advance.

OK to narrow the problem down a bit... when I install something and it gives you the option where to install it i.e. on phone or storage card, whether I pick phone OR storage card it always ends up on the phone.
I cannot install programs to storage card! Which is not good as the phone memory is tiny!
Any ideas please?
Hello,
In an attempt to cure messaging refusing to start up I took out the storage card, soft reset, after restarting inserted the same card. Since then the card has automatically been renamed to 'Storage Card2', and none of the programs on it will work.
Why, and what can I do to cure it please?
Cheers, Guy.

Hello dumb-bo calling??!!
I saw that there was two storage cards listed on file explorer so I deleted 'Storage Card' and renamed 'Storage Card2' to 'Storage Card', and all is well.
Cheers, Guy.
Hello,
XDA O2 Orbit2
Mobile 6
When the phone is restarted messaging will not start, auto start, or receive messages, and the 8GB storage card is seen in File Explorer as "Storage Card 2".
To get messaging to start I have to remove the storage card, then messaging will start, delete "Storage Card 1" in file explorer, and reinsert storage card.
When I reinsert the original 1GB card restart goes okay and messaging works.
When I purchased the card I am sure I checked that my phone was okay with 8GB cards.
Any suggestions please?
Cheers, Guy.
I think I have sorted it out.
I noticed that; after I had started Messaging function, with the storage card not inserted, that a folder "Inbox.mst" was created in the none existent Storage card; that appeared in file manager. So I tried delegating that Folder on the 8GB card, the folder was empty anyway. Restarted the phone with the card inserted, and hey-presto everything works.
So if anyone else gets that problem, there is the solution.
mssyncapp Activesync broken
Thanks for the tip grwsmith...
I had a similar problem as I thought I had a corrupt file somewhere. It all started with a dying battery. I thought I had encountered a bad 'write' during a battery die and got something corrupt. Could not get activesync to start and all messaging was gone. Could not get messaging to even start up.
So... I found an old spb full backup from September and started with a hard reset then restore. It did not work, still no activesync or messaging. Did not make any sense. Until I read this posting... Did another restore, then when the 8925 went to restart I pulled out the 8gb sd card. It booted up just fine and everything was good again. Inserted the sd card, deleted all inbox files from it and re-synced to Exchange. I sounds like I had a corrupt inbox file that kept breaking activesync and messaging someway.
Just my $.02 in case it may help anyone else.
Thanks again for the tip...
Hi!
I have Motorola G7 power xt-1955-4.
And I also got a 512gb Kingston hama sdcard.
The card was formatted as internal storage.
The problem is that today I saw that I can't access the files on my phone. This happened after I moved several files from phone to my computer, to free up some space.
Now, when I open File manager it shows "main storage not available".
I reinserted my SD card a couple of times, but I keep having a notification saying "checking sdcard... Reviewing current content".
When I go to Settings - Storage it says only "sdcard checking..".
When I press on "Checking sd card" notification only it gives me the option to Forget.
How can I access my SD card without formatting it?
Thank you.
You said you moved some files from the card to your PC? How did you do this? If you removed the card from the phone and put it in your PC, then what you effectively did was slice off part of your phone's storage, messed with the files, and put it back in. You cut off a piece of brain, rooted around in it, and tried to reattach it.
Internal storage means the card is not removable, and the storage space will be filled with files essential to the phone. Chances are to get the card to work again it needs to be reformatted.

Sorry I'm a bit late. I had this same issue recently. Until now, I have had a problem with any program recognizing the drive without offering to format it first. I can't do that because I am stupid and had important files on there I need. I just located DiskGenius and I am running it now.
Not sure this will repair the issue, but it recognized the sd card which I had set as the primary storage not knowing something like this could happen. It is running a search now for bad sectors. When it finds them, it will provide a repair, but the sectors will be deleted. I am hoping it won't be the sectors that contain my files that I need to recover. But it's a step in the right direction.
I now know not to set an sd card as main storage for Android, because it encrypts the files, and it tied the SD card to the system. I can't even install apps right now because the main storage is non existent.
I just had to throw out a 62g card due to corruption. I do t know how it happened but I eventually had to factory reset/wipe phone. I put the card in a laptop to reformat it. Wouldn't work. I'm getting a new card, but I will not make it phone storage. Bummed me out.
