I've used a few cheapo external SD card readers (USB) that spontaneously disconnected the SD card. Try using an internal one, they're usually higher quality than the ones that come with the SD card.
If you need to completely wipe your SD card try the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, it works pretty well in windows.
If that fails, try writing zeros to it in linux.
Exactly what I'm experiencing right now
64gb Sandisk
FAT32
Seriously best described as acting like Deep Freeze..
I've done deletion, modificatio, addition, and after a while, reverts back to it's previous state. As in even the deleted files rose from the dead!!
My attempted fix is just by running CHKDSK /F then /R. So far nothing.
Any luck or any updates?

So I get on the train, go into my MP3 player, and none of the tunes there. I check file explorer and the whole 1 gig SD card is blank.
It's a kingmax platinum 1gig sd
What could have happened?
Are you using an XDA1 with a 2003 ROM? I used to get this on mine, it's a bug apparently. Someone suggested a way to fix it, but it didn't work for me, I just kept it write-protected!
I am using an XDA IIi
DID U USE IT INANOTHER PDA DEVICE
if u used the SD card in another PDA device it may cause problems. or if u resart ur PPC a couple of times then it might format itself as well.
I haven't used it in anything else, or even taken it out. I reset the machine occassionally when it hangs...
Thanks for the replies, I'm still not sure what happened, but it hasn't happened since, so fingers crossed

Hi. I have a SanDisk 1Gb SD card. Something very similar happened to me. Several times.
I felt quite sick the first time this happened but here are some things I have discovered.
1. It's a good idea to copy your entire SD card - lock, stock and barrel - to your hard-drive, or some other storage medium. (Er...except an SD).
2. Your card may not have formatted itself - try this: remove the card, (I blow on the metal contacts for luck,) replace it, access |Start|Settings|Today|Items, then alter the Today Timeout value on the Items page. Exit to the Today screen. Check your card using a file browser (File Explorer is OK for this).
Sometime this is enough to force your PDA to read the card.
3. Sync with your PC using ActiveSync (assuming you have this facility). Find a lightweight installation file that may be lying around undeleted on your pc and attempt to install it to the storage card. You may get arsey messages from ActiveSync or from your ppc saying it can't be done. You may not. You may even have to soft-reset your ppc BUT you may find that your Storage Card contents have *miraculously* reappeared!
WEIRD!?! But it has been said that truth is stranger than fiction.
4. It may be that after all this tinkering about the contents of your Storage Cards still reads as nada. Consider doing a proper format of the card and copying back the contents of your Storage Card that you, with great foresight, copied to your hard drive on your PC.
Or consider blowing out your card manufacturer and asking for a replacement.
Regards, The Gog.
PS Please don't ask me why this often works. Obviously it is magic, quasi-magic or SD is short for 'Satanic Devilry' and your data is possessed.
Hey all.
FIrst off I dont recommend this phone. haha, that being said...
I just bought a 16gb microsd card for it. I was able to install it and transfer a bunch of tunes over. Then when I disconnected it from the computer, it has a little sd card icon with a sprocket at the top left of the screen and says "checking for errors". As a result, I dont have access to the info on the sd card > music contacts photos etc.
Its been 12 hours or so and this status has not changed.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? Has it "farted" or do I just have to wait...
Thanks.
Have you tryed turning the device off taking the battery and SD card out then putting it all back and turning it back on, had issues with my phone not recognizing my SD before and it worked for me, just give it a try and see.

Thanks, but tried that many times...
I did try removing the battery and card multiple times to no avail.
I even sacrificed my programs etc through a hard reset. As soon as the reset completed, I have the same notification about the sd card.
Some details...
When I first inserted the 16gb SDHC card, the phone acknowledge its presence and I formated the card in the phone. It said there was over 15gb available... all fine...
I then was able to que it up with my pc through the USB cable and transfer about 8 gbs of music to the phone... transfer when fine.
Upon removing the phonne, it started with this "preparing sd card, Checking for errors" nonsense.
I am firmly convinced that there ACTUALLY is no SDHC support on these Acer Liquid E phones. My old 2 gb card that came with the phone works just fine and is back in the phone now. My only other option is to buy a 4 gb card and see if that will word fine, as 4 gb is not considered SDHC. then step up again to a 8 gb card (SDHC) and see what happens.
Does anyone else have a SDHC card in there Acer Liquid E? Does it work?
There is also NO help from Fido or Acer to work through issues...
Really makes me want to go back to the iPhone........ grrrrrrrrr....
Make sure that you formatted it to FAT32 first of all and does the card still connect to the computer using a card reader ? Why don't you try formatting it on your liquid by going onto storage and then unmounting it then format.

Thanks... no go though. At wits end...
Thanks for your attention!
When formatting in the phone, it doesnt allow you the choice to format specifically in FAT32 or other. I can only assume it is formatting in the proper system.
As for mounting and unmounting (what I feel this phone has been literally doing to me for the 6 months i've had it.lol)... as the sd card was stuck in this "checking for errors" sequence I had no access to mount or unmount the card or reformat again. These options were simply greyed out and not accessable.
I have not placed it into a card reader to reformat through my PC. I will try this step next and see what happens. I will have to find a card reader, or perhaps plug it into my camera as the card came with an sd adapter... see if that route will work.
Regardless. extremely user non-friendly phone here in the Acer Liquid E.
Let me make this short since we all have other things we can do. I had an old microSD card that I used. Plugged it into adapter and put into SD card slot on computer. Wanted to format it but for some reason it wouldn't saying that Windows could not format the drive. When I looked at Disk Management, it shows it as a RAW partition. Even when I formatted it from there it wouldn't let me make a new simple volume. Before it was turned into a RAW partition though, I could see all the files that were previously on there. Any idea on how to fix this? I have 2 microSDs that are like this, both pretty much happened the same way.
I have a similar problem, try this:
Do a backup of your files, (try recuva to recover files on your SD),format it whit low level format tool, once it´s done, insert it to your phone, say "blank disc" or someting like that, it asks if you want to format, say yes and that's it.
PD: this worked for me, might help you
What would you suggest using to do the low level format? I don't care for the files so I'll just erase them.

So the other day I was transferring files between two phones via usb and a windows computer. My micro SD is a SanDisk 32gb. After completion of transferring files from my phone to the other phone, I safely ejected both phones and unplugged the usb cables. On my phone I began browsing through my pictures and within a matter of about 6-8 seconds I literally watched my pictures vanish before my eyes. Leaving only my pictures saved to my phones internal memory and an error message pops up "SD card unexpectedly removed" Odd right? Now the phone won't acknowledge that my micro SD is attached. Took it out and tried using it in a micro SD to full size SD adapter and then plugged into computer. No auto play. And when I select the drive slot for the SD it tells I need to format the disk. Tried quick and regular, both "Windows cannot format the disk" Tried using command prompt to format "Device not recognized...." I can't even format?! What do I do?

how long have you've been using the sd card? lot's of possiblities could happen maybe it's a faulty card - a possible virus infection. have you tried rebooting the pc and insert it again see if it will be detected. or from your device try to reinsert and reboot it.
based on my experience in most cases its a faulty one. i have 3 micro sd which i can't use now.

Recovery Of Missing Files
--------------------------
Your best searching the Internet for a file recovery program. Some may not be able to recover or locate the files that other software will be able to.
The SD Card Issue
------------------
Your best to download partition software, EASUS Partition Home is recommended for this. If you see your SD card simply right click it, and go to delete, and then new and then click 'Apply', and then 'ok'.
If you need any download links hit me up with a pm
hope this helps.
I've had the card for over 2.5 months. And I've added no new data, only transferred data off it(when it crashed) and moved files around. Well it's not my computer. Tried accessing the card on two others besides the one I was originally on. On the computer I last tried, it actually had a built in slot for Micro SD. It says no disk inserted Other Micro SD cards work fine with all computers. I just want to be able to format it so I can use it again but, I'm leaning towards that it might be fried. How it fried itself still doesn't make sense to me

I rooted my Nook Simple Touch and have two issues. One is with the internet seems to abort, which I query about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315961.
The other is that I began using a 32GB microSD card, a Sandisk Ultra, and all seemed well. Then I decided to change the partition layout, so I reformatted the card. Now the Nook doesn't recognize the card at all and asks if I want to format it. When I say, "yes," it just goes right back to the "The memory card is unrecognized and needs to be formatted" screen.
Is there a way I can reformat my card properly? I'd really like to use it.
Thanks in advance!
U can put your ad card into a pc and the go to my computer then right click on the sd card then click format.
