noob here. wondering why all of a sudden the sd card is gone from the drop down bar. it isnt able to be seen through the storage program built into wm6 faria crossbow. installed the cab wmstorage, and it helped. i can see the card on windows xp but it is still not on the pda. its a wizard with wm6. nothing pretty much installed at all. did a hard start to go fresh and it didnt help. please help me!!! im sure this has been addressed before, but im not familiar with the site yet and im in a rush to get this card back. its got work files on it that i need in the morning! i promise to be a good noob and research everything else from now on... thanks!
Will try to help you out. . .
First Drop down of what? are you able to see your SD card in Settings under Memory?
can you access your card in the XP PC? open and execute files?
Overclocked?
Hi, that happened to me when I overclocked my Wizard to 221MHz i think, dont remember now, but the SD card data became corrupted, with WinXP I could see the directories but the data was unreadable, I just formated the SD card in WinXP and everything was fine again, just lost all the data..
cya,
the drop down or "start" menu. i cannot see the card anywhere on the pda. i installed wm5torage, and was able to see the card on my laptop as another drive. and i was ale to get the files and open files ect... but i got real happy until i went back to the pda, and still not there. so the card is ok, and i was able to get the data, but whys it not showing up... ??? its a g3(?) and running wm6. hope this is enough info to get started. thanks!
this just happen to my mda also.. i had to call tmobile and get a new one.. the port went bad.. it would only work if i pushed the memory card down far as possible but once i took pressure off it would disappear
Before going through all the tech support and purchasing new cards....try this...as this has happened to me many and i mean, many of times...
apparently you may have for your email attachments to be stored on storage card, then you may have done a soft reset, and quite possibly an email attachment was downloaded before storage card was initialized... so it is possible that a folder named storage card could have been created and your actual storage card may not show or be shown as storage card 2
What I did was take the card out, and delete the sotrage card folder and then reinsert the card and it shows up propperly, hoping this is what happend to you, this may do the fix.
If not, im not sure of what to do...but just a little help from my side.
killa, i tried looking through all the folders, but i believe there are some i cannot find??? i tried to do the search, but it says that search only goes through the my documents folder. do you know where you found the folder? thanks for the help.

Not too sure what happen to your device...but the Storage Card folder usually shows up in the root of the device just as the actual storage card does, as a matter of fact, the actual storage card would typically show up under the folder named storage card, and your actual storage card would show up as storage card 2.....hope i dont confuse you with that, but it seems that your problem may be an even more deeper problem than this, hope its not, but hopefully we can help you get this resolved.
the wm5torage program let me backup the files. the pda is still not recognizing it but i believe its a software issue obviously if the pda doesnt see it but my laptop does. i have the option of formatting the drive. i havent tried it yet, but im not sure if that will help anyway. i dont see how formatting will help the pda see it, but its another option right?
Why dont you try first on inserting other mini SD card first if your PDA recognize it then you might need to format the card. . . if it doesnt then its a phone problem? did you unlock your extended rom? it is also a reason why storage card is not available. .
Just one thought....It may be possible that your card is formatted in NTFS, then your card will only be readable in desktop but not in PPC
i was able to format it through the laptop as fat32. but it still isnt seen on the pda. i am on a business trip with a laptop and all my other peripherals are at home and i am two days away from being there. so no, i havent tried the other card/put the present one in the card reader ect... all that stuffs at home. i just dont see how all of a sudden, out of the blue, its no longer visible. i even hard started the pda and formatted the sd... it has to be a software issue. noones had this prob with faria crossbow? btw, thanks for all the tips, i try them as i read them!
Man, make it simple
You say that the Desktop PC sees your card, right ? Well , copy all you have on the MiniSD to the computer
Insert the MiniSD in the Wizard, and format it with any software that is able to do that(ex. RescoExplorer)
Then it should work, right ?
If you cannot see it at all from resco or similar, then reformat it into the PC and see that it is FAT not NTFS ... I don't remember which one Fat 16/32 but I guess that 32
Good luck

ya, the card is seen but only when i use wm5torage and activate it. but it still isnt seen on the pda. when i did that, i formatted the card through the laptop as fat32. still not seeing but im finding info on alot of the forums here. i even tried the reg value change suggestions and that didnt work. im starting to think it maybe a bad card? but then why would i be able to see it on the laptop through the mobile usb connection??? grrr...
Then Hard reset Time if all solution you have seen have failed. . . you can backup your contacts using active sync or any third party software will do. .
I have this strange problem.
today suddenly my sd card stoped working. so the first thing i suspected was that my sd card was broke but it turned out that my sd card was working fine but my himalaya doesnt show show the contents of the sd card.
if i check on my hima i see that the expansion slot is in use. so it knows that the sd card is inserted.
if i put in my sd card or pull it out the screen lights up again so that meens that the contacts are still intact.
i tested my card in my cardreader no problems. i tried another card still the same issue. i formatted the card didnt help either.
i already flashed a new rom. i cleaned all the contacts just in case that was the problem.
i checked all of the topics on this forum about this problem but it turned out that all of there sd cards where broke and that is not the issue here.
so i hope some one else can help me because i am desperate at the moment.
This may sound stupid but, do you use "WM5 Storage" ? Maybe you forgot to disable it after using it ? I have already been in this case, and this would be the reason why you can't read your card.
Even if you flash a new rom, if you forget to do it the right way (cleaning the registry hive and formating integrated storage), settings may still be there, and that would be why it does not solve your problem.
Try loading the "WM5 Storage" program and check if it is activated. If so, just disable it
I hope this helps...

There are many reasons.
What I have observed, sometimes, it's because of the battery. There are some memory problems when you buy a new battery, actually, the warning is written on the battery pack.
So, before you buy, try to explore your folders if the storage card is visible. If not, ask for another stock of battery.
Sometimes, the battery is low and maybe the system blocks the usage of the sd card.
Sometimes, you got to check your folders via active, maybe there is such a file with a filename/s "ignore". I just forgot the whole filename but it definitely is read like that in a way. Delete it/them.
Or sometimes you need to softreset or clean your card slot or reformat the card. I just don't have any idea how you can clean them.
With regards to wm5torage, it has options, when checked hides the storage folder icon, and even sometimes erase all your storage card files. So be careful of using the options.
I use a 4G card on Atom Life, running WM 6.1. It will cause the system slowing down a lot after soft reset. Try to open \start menu\program\games (I have some games installed on card), it takes several minutes to load the menu. However, once complete, it will run very fast next time. It is ok when using a 1G or 2G card anyway.
I wonder if someone has a solution for it?

On my MyTouch 3g, if my phone shuts down or reboots unexpectedly, many times my SD Card will not mount. There MUST be a solution for this.
In recovery, I can see my files, so I know everything is not lost. How can I get Android to recognize it again?
I've researched hours on this. Formatting works, but I lose my info. There has to be a way to restore whatever files are getting corrupted from unexpected shutdown.
Windows often does not see it, ONLY in recover. So if, linux can see the files, it should be able to be repaired. How can I do it?
Move all of the files to your computer, format the card, then restore all the files?
Nope... too easy. I need a way to get the card o recognize again. There has to be a way....
I was told by a Sprint rep that phones are generally pickier about recognizing and reading SD cards than computers are. I had asked him to check out my SD card because my phone kept having problems mounting it, and he said it didn't matter if they checked it, it would always look fine if plugged into a computer, and ended up giving me another SD card for free.
Hope this helps.
2 days ago my son was born and I used my HTC HD7 to take all pictures and videos of him and my wife, these were the most amazing and precious moments of my life and I captured them all on my phone.
My wife and I both have identical HD7 phones, last night I took my phone home and charged a spare battery for her, today I took this to hospital and we both turned our phones off and waited until the "goodbye" sreen had vanished, and then swapped the batterys over in the phones so she had the fully charged battery and I had the low/quarter full battery. When she switched on her phone, everything was fine, but when I switched on mine I saw some screen flash up saying something about "pressing the volume buttons to erase your phone" I paniced at this point and did a stupid thing and took out the battery again. After I put it back in it booted up and gave me the "seup windows phone" screen. At this point I switched my phone off and havent swiched it back on since.
Is there any hope of recoverying the pictures and videos? Apps, contactacts etc I dont care about, but these are the most important moments of my life I want to recover. I have no idea what happened, but at the moment I am very upset.
I am an IT technician myself, and in the past it has been all stored on the memory card, but there is no way to remove the memory card on this phone. I am willing to destroy the phone to preserve this data if needed, Is there any way I could remove the memory card? I could try some data recovery software if this is the case.
Please help, the might be a simple way to sort this I haven't been able to find. I have now been up 36 hours as my wife has had a lot of complications and lost a lot of blood last night and ended up having a transfusion. Sorry to be so personal, but I am really desperate to save these photos.
you might have accidentally held the volume button when you turned on the device, and that triggered that factory reset feature.
I have done this accidentally with my trophy as well when i was running late for work, but instead of removing the battery, i held down the power button and tried again, but when it turned on it didnt show me a setup one where you type in your windows live id, instead my one was an image of a windows phone suggesting to connect to a laptop via USB cable, again i didnt panic and turned off the screen and held down the volume button and the power button and i did trigger the factory reset in purpose, once i was at the factory reset screen, pressing any other button (camera key, and sleep/wake/power key) apart from the volume keys disables the reset feature and will continue to boot to wp7.
I dont know if Im helping, but thats how I resolved my situation.
How to remove memory card
Hi Herr_ando,
Firstly Congratulations on becoming a father
Secondly do not worry all is not lost, if you cannot get the handset to boot normally you can remove the memory card (without voiding the warranty too) A lot of people figured this out when they had fist purchased the HD7 and have since used the following video clip to help them upgrade the memory card size:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EcGUX3NwnQ
I have done this myself but had trouble when reading the memory card via a dongle (this is due to the differing format used by WP7) the way i got round this was either by putting the memory card into an old N97 nokia phone and using the pc software to remove the pictures from it or to use a flash drive recovery app found via google.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
It doesn't sound like you actually performed a factory reset so it's probably fine... but if you want to be safe, pull out the SD card like the previous post says. It might make you factory reset after putting it back in, but if you already save your pics and videos, who cares, right?

It's okay to take out the SD card and put it back as long as the phone isn't turned on in the meantime and nothing is written to the SD card.
So it's okay if you use the SD card to recover photos and put it back in, as long as the phone stays off in this time.
@herr_ando: Congratulations on becoming a father!
Hi guys, thanks for the congratulations.
I tried removing the memory card and plugged it into a card reader, no joy reading this card, in fact it wouldnt even detect. I also tried putting it into my Toshiba Camileo, which I know deffo supports SDHC cards of this size, was unable to see it at all.
Also tried it in a new laptop, with a micro > full size adaptor, no joy, and a blackberry 8520 with mass storage enabled still cant read this card, when I choose disable mass storage it tells me the memory card isn't formatted.
I know Windowsphone7 files on the memory card isn't supposed to be accessable outside the OS but this makes data recovery impossible for me.
If this was a PC HDD or standard SD card I could run some data recovery software, and try to recover these files even if the card has been formatted. but I have no idea how to do this for this card... any ideas?

Sadly, you need a Nokia cell as stated above, to read the card. Their OS is the only one that supports the partition format & password protection. I have 2 SD Cards that won't work on anything other than a Nokia cell because of this. They came out of a Nokia MusicXpress & Nuron my room mate had.
Hi mate
So you reckon if I buy a Nokia 5230 or similar I should be able to read this card? I should be able to pick one of these up for £35 or so, well worth it to get these photos back.
I have no experiance of nokia phones since the old days of my 3310. Do i need to use nokia software or does this present itself as a removable hdd in windows?
Many thanks.

Creamy stated the n97. I'm not family with all this as I never done it, but there's a lot of threads regarding this. People using Nokia phones to unlock & reformat SD card so they'll work for other devices. As to what devices this work on, I'm not sure, but as long as the card hasn't been erased yet, it's possible that a Nokia phone will be able to read the card & transfer files to your pc. You can look through the forum for more information from people with experience. My experience only deals with trying to get these 2 SD cards working with other devices & will result in for formatting the cards.
NOTE: Also, I do believe you need the nokia desktop software install to transfer file, but am not sure. Another thing, if you do find the sd card is empty, maybe reformatting it in the nokia phone, you'll be able to directly put the sd card in your pc & use your partition recovery tools on it.
Best Digital Media Recovery Software
Hi,
Congratulations on becoming a father!
If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, digital media recovery and directly access their raw data with a programable digital media recovery tool. Have a look at: RecoverDataTools DigitalMediaRecoveryTool
I have been wondering for a while, i been noticing that when i put music on my external sd card from my laptop, after i disconnect from the laptop, it some time does not appear on my external sd card, like it was never there in the first place, and when i hook it up back to the laptop it is really not there. Is there something I'm missing, i been searching for a solution throughout the forum, and found nothing. Can someone please help me with this situation.
P.S. If you have a problem understanding my problem, basically I'm asking what is the proper way of putting music on your external sd card for the Infuse 4g. Thanks
Do you have enough space on the SD? I would make a folder in the external to make your music easier to find. I just click and drag into the appropriate card, make sure you properly eject phone when its complete too. It could be a lot of things, usually its something simple.
Yeah I came down to that conclusion, i know it is something simple, that just may be it, because i hardly ever properly eject it. I just normally pull the USB card thinking, whats the worst can happen lol... But thanks
Ya I've screwed my external by just yanking it out before, so I do it right now lol np
I have the same issue, I dragged an dropped each individual track and only one stuck? An when i tell my phone to unmount it, it just remounts it? getting really annoyed
