Sd usb flashreader kill xda data ?

I wanted to put some music on my sd card and i turned off my xda and took the sdcard and put it in my usb1.1 6-1 flash reader. Then I noticed that it was filled with odd corrupt files. It looked as if my valid programs on the SD card, mainly those installed using 'choose SD' in activesync, were dead
the sd is 256MB and 3 of the corrupted files in the root of the sd card
claim to be 1.3GB
I didn't format the sdcard when i got it the xda could read it just fine and i copied files from my mem to the SDflash and later on used activesync to install on it. So since this all happen after I put the sdflash in the flash reader. Could it be that causing it ?
This is not on a 2003 ROM so it's not related to any of those issues.

I make sure that before I remove my sd card from the card reader that I right click on the drive in "my computer" and click "eject", this seems to flush any cached or delayed write files and close any open files, give it a try and see if it prevent it happening again.

well i doubt thats the problem because i noticed those corrupted files when i plug'd the sdcard into the PC not when i put it back into the xda
i dident eject the card before taking out the sdcard of the pc
but i did turn off the pc which should result in pretty much the same thing

how do you guys take out the Micro SD card from the phone....do u guys just push the card and it eject or how? I can't seem to find a way to do it? Could my unit/device be bad?? please help thanks

Hmm
I had the same problem, I used the sd parted on my sdcard and I stopped getting those errors. I would suggest you back up your SD card to your pc, download the sd parted file from the forums and follow the instructions on how to run it correctly. Do a search for it.

OK

forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=543985
1) Back up your microSD card to your PC
2) Run sd parted on your myTouch (this involves reading...not to much thouggh )
3) copy the items backed up on your PC back to microSD

[Q] Need help. External SD card as default download location

I was wondering if there's anyway to set my external SD card as default, right now everything is being saved in /mnt/sdcard/ not /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD.
For example, I just installed DropBox and every file that I download goes to the sdcard directory.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

How to transfer to a larger SD Card?

i did search the forums for an answer, but im running into a problem that hasnt been encountered by others. I would like to switch my sd card from a 4gb to a 8gb. if i just copy and paste the files, i get a pop up advising that theres a file/folder thats name is too long, and it will only skip it. I dont want to leave behind any important files. any help with this?

Just copy your current SD Card (4GB) contents to the PC. Then format your new SD Card (8GB). After that just copy the contents back onto the new SD Card, and load it back inot your Shift. You should be good to go.

You'll be fine. I've copied my sd contents to my PC and back a few times and I always get that "name too long" error on one file and I've always just skipped it with no problems.

thanks.... i found out that the source of my problem was the folder "android" but i pretty much just took what i needed from that folder, and created a new one on the root of the sd card, and placed the contents there, every other file/folder transferred smoothly

Hi, some games don't like being moved on to SD as I found in my experience (I don't know why) but for the WhatsApp folder you can move the app to your SD card by using Link2SD from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326

I did used link to SD to move WhatsApp and this message appeared :

And folder mount didn't work for me at all , I tried several games but no luck.
