Storage Card Problems

[dft601]

Hi,

I have a problem in recognizing my Transcend 2 GB SD-Card.

During operation the MDA Pro "looses" my storage card. I do not need to move the MDA. It also happens when it is on the table.

When I eject the card and put it in again it is recognized again.

Do you have a suggestion what this can be?

Shit, I just ordered the same card two days ago. Should arrive today or tomorrow. I let you know what happens.

Unless your card is faulty, try reformatting the card (I know you don't usually have to do this staight out of the box). I have had this problem before, but on the i-mate jam and it would read the card in my PC, but not my LapTop, which has a dedicated SD slot. Go figure. Tried formatting to FAT and FAT32, but I think it doesn't make too much of a difference. For me it came down to the type of SD card being used!
My 1GB Scandisk card works flawlessly and quickly wherever I put it, but my 2GB Scandisk SD Ultra II only works in my PC and transfer rate seems noticeably slower. :?

I already formatted the SD-Card. I also tried Low Level Format with
Pocket Mechanic.

I haven´t found failures with a r/w test. On the PC there are no problems.

I have the same problem with the Transcend 2GB card. When syncing Avantgo to the card I get a "write teimeout" error. The card is still there when I look at it with the explorer.

I have no problems with a 2GB Sandisk SD card.

I bought an Integral 2GB High Speed SD card. Initially, my JASJAR refused to recognise the card as anything more than 128 MB. I tried formatting it with Pocket Mechanic (Low level and normal format) - still 128MB. My notebook (with a built-in SD card reader) also saw it a 128 MB. My EPSON card reader did not recognise it at all.

After finding a post on a forum through Google, I found out that the iMate JAM apparently creates a new partition on the 2GB card, and that it was a known problem (for the JAM).

Using Partition Magic, we saw that it in fact created three partitions (128 MB, 1GB and the remainder, but we could not format or use the other).

My husband got the brilliant idea to put the card in my Nikon CoolPix, which told us that the card was not formatted. He told the camera to format it, which worked -- I can now use the card as 2GB in both my JASJAR and my laptop.

I hope this helps somebody ...

Got no probs on my scandisc ultraII card on jasjar either, but my laptop won't recognise it! :?
Good thing I have a PC too! :lol:

No problems with my UltraII card either...

I always format my cards with my PC or Laptop before using them, and it's always been fine in PPC, PC, and Laptop.
