WM5torage

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of an app that makes the 'My Device' a drive for the computer, like WM5torage does with the memory card?...Or a program for the computer that recognises the device as a drive?
Thanks
Hi,
you can use WMStorage for this, just change the device in WMStorage from "MemoryCard" to the other option.
Best regards,

thanks, but this didn't work for me, it just freezes my phone.
Hmmm
Unlike ActiveSync, WM5torage requires exclusive access to the storage medium. When you select Storage Card in WM5torage to be used as a USB Mass Storage device, the PPC looses access to it. If you have a program running from the Storage Card while trying to activate WM5torage you get an error message saying that the Storage Card is in use by an application and that it must be shutdown before WM5torage initiates access to the Storage Card.
Since the OS runs off the PPC Non Volatile memory, I don't think it is possible to get WM5torage to use the phone memory as a USB Mass Storage Device.
Not to mention that mostly "internal" file system uses special customized file systems - not FAT or NTFS, so even if drive is exported, windows are unable to actually see files on it.
Though I think it was reported somewhat working an at least one device (the one that had FAT as internal FS i presume), but it had to be done carefully and after device needed to be rebooted anyway, as OS lost connection to some vital data files during dismount.

Orbit2 USB Mass Storage Device

Anyone know how I can use my Orbit2 as a mass storage device? My car stereo allows iPods and Mass Storage devices but cant be annoyed with the ipod any more as I always leave it in the car.
Basically I want to be able to put my music on my 8gb card and play it through the stereo.
Cheers
checkout card export from softonic, works just great
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
Have that installed... but dont understand exactly what Im doing... it says its in Mass USB Storage but also gives me an error about drivers...
Just Beta
Hey Guys!
The Mass storage thing is just in a beta stadium.
The easiest way to fill up your 8GB Card is an Cardreader at your PC...
Im not wanting to fill it up... works perfect in vista to fill it. I want to use it as a storage device for my car stereo USB connection.
You could just use your MicroSD in a card reader and insert the card reader into your car stereo... then back in the pda when finished
Card Export

I also use my Polaris connected to my car stereo USB connection.
It's easy: try "Softick Card Export 3.08". It works great.
You can also try it before you buy it!

X7510 MicroSD via USB to PC ?

Hi, just got my x7510 a few days ago. Its going to replace my laptop.
But I have a slight problem. When I connect the X7510 as a mass-storage device only the inbuilt flash drive (16GB) shows up but the memory card doesnt. How do I make that show up ? And not via Activesync but as mass-storage.
Thanks for helping in advance !
what version of windows are you running?
also ever tried wm5 storage? you can use it to select hard disk or memory card as the pass through device for usb mass storage
it only grumps if a program is holding access to the device
eg: today plugin using storage card as it's home and has open files being used.
also known as file locking, same as windows
t works fine on my x7500 (ameo)

there is a registry setting you can alter to make the sd card the mass storage device
search on the athena forum as it was mentioned in the wm5storage thread I think
whoops cyberjack is right
The registry setting was for usb to pc
change the settings "USB to PC"
on ameo16gb you can switch settings from ActivesSync to Mass Storage without change registrykeys

Yes but what he wants is to use the sd card as the mass storage device instead of the default SSHD
WM5torage works but its slow. 1MB/s only.
Suggest you give this a try... works great on my 7510.

This may be in the settings/system tab and is a lot faster but you may have to do a registry change
have a look in advanced config 3 to see if it can be changed there easily
storage card problem
i inserted a mini sd on x7510 i went to view documents on there it dosent show anything the x7510 dosent know the card is there
If you open File Explorer and navigate to My Device, can you see Storage Card in the folder tree? If so can you open the tree to see your documents?
If so, I can't see any reason why Office Mobile won't pick them up. If not, there may be a problem with either the MiniSD card, or the card slot. Which document types are you opening? For instance, if you have an Excel file in your MiniSD card, open Office Mobile/Excel then at the top of the screen tap the Folder list and select 'All Folders' to see if it picks the file up. This works fine on my X7510
Format the miniSD card with your PC

Take out the miniSD card, slot it into your laptop and format it to FAT or FAT32 and insert back into the X7510.

This was a very old thread, and the problem was answered to an extent!
The OP didn't have a problem with the X7510 seeing the MiniSD card- he wanted Windows to see it on the PC when connected as a Disk Drive rather than activesync. By default, Disk Drive connectivity sees the flash disk not the MiniSD.
There is a registry hack to change this, but the easiest answer is to use WM5torage which can be set to see either.
viewing files
i inserted a sd card in my x7510.but dont know how to view the files from the device.when i go to programs it shows flash disk and device programs
it says oper9
when i enter it it says opera9.storage card.it says the same thing even if theres no sd card inserted

Please assist with micro sd card with bad blocks

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?

Storage Card Recovery – PPC software?

My phone is telling me that my storage card is full (it’s not) and I’ve lost my ‘program files’ folder, all of my music and the folder with the naked pictures of my ex-girlfriends in………. Damn
I’ve read lots of threads about storage card recovery, but I haven’t found an application that can run from the actual phone itself (I have a Kaiser).
I can’t find my card reader, so can’t connect it direct to my PC!
Anyone got any suggestions?? Freeware is always a bonus
Thanks in advance
never heard about a ppc undelete tool but card readers are dirt cheap
may even work if you put the pda in disk mode and connect it over usb to the pc

PDA in disk mode is new to me? Could you explain how please?? Or alternatively perhaps a program that can work via activesync??
Had a similar issue reecently, all the folders on my card were given random names made up of weird characters. Even connecting to the PC didn't help, still silly names.
I thought, OK, nothing to lose and i soft reset my trinity, hey presto everything came back. Don't ask what had happened i don't know.

I have extra folders with letters and characters (perhaps renamed) but alas, soft reset does nothing......
well, usb to pc mode can be done using Softick Cardexport or WM5torage, but you HAVE to copy the installation files to your DEVICE or it will physically overwrite storage card data. take out your storage card, connect your device and move the installation file to your device, install the program and insert the card, then connect in Removable Storage mode and use Active Recovery 7 to recover your storage card's files.
