I have a brand new XDA IIs and I just find it impossible to access the memory card, The O2 instruction book is useless. Can anyone tell me how to access the card. My friend has an old XDA and he can see and write to the card no problem so I know it is not a faulty card.

Thanks

Where are you looking for it?

Does it appear in the memory section of the Settings area?

Also, when you open file explorer and navigate to my device - you should see a Storage Card folder.

If its not there, try soft resetting the device and try it again.

Hi, if I use the file explorer I see storage but it only shows the internal memory, same in system when I click on memory only shows internal and not the card, yet the card works fine on my Mio pocket pc? Hope you can help

I hope yours is not a unique problem pertaining to your device. Else it might be a faulty SDIO slot. Did you test with another SD card?

Your SDBUS driver is designed to support detection of SD, USB, CF, CDROM, DVD and Hard Disk, and it should be ACTIVE under the registry entry HKLM\Drivers\Active\X (where X denotes a number) with
"Key"="\\Drivers\SDCARD\\SDBusDriver"

Perhaps you can ask the others for a copy of the CAB file to reinstall the SDBUS drivers?

Worst come to worst, you may have to rely on your warranty support.

Don't have the answer as to why, but my 512 SD works fine. The 1GB works in a friends XDA but not in my IIs.

Thanks to the two of you that offered help.

I have an issue with my new SD cards as well, but its in a Himalaya.
The problem is a very poor performance of the SD card in real life.
The benchmarks I ran show a good performance, but when using the card my Himalaya frequently locks up.
See this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14210) thread.

As I have the issue with at least 2 cards (Sandisk 512MB and Extrememory 1GB) and I do not have an issue with my Kingston 256MB I am suspecting the slot itself . . .
