XDA Can't see 256mb SD card

[armennyc]

So far in last 2 months I bought 6 xda's. I upgraded all of them with rom 4.01.16 eng. I was very happy with them except one thing, they don't see my 256MB SD card. I also have IPAQ 3955 and that card works fine in it but on my XDA it's not recognized. I hope that somone knows why? :idea:

easy, you see, a pc is capable of using many storage formats, as for the xda, only a few, i beleive its the 16bit fat table format.

sometimes its the other way around, a card only works on an xda, and not a pc.

if you can, get another sd, format it, and check what type of formatting the xda does. and then modify the sd

good luck.

I tryed to format 256MB card both ways FAT16 and FAT32 and still dosen't work. However, 128MB card works as FAT16 and FAT32.

did you try formatting it with storagetools or pocketmechanics on the xda ?

that often helps people

Some PDA's seem to have a problem with some SD's. In general the "made in china" SD's are most sensitive. Although our XDA is not mentioned in the list maybe this is your problem????
