Upgrading my ROM to the latest build has greatly improved the issue with SD card corruption but i am still unable to copy large files (100mb and above) from my computer, it starts copying and halfway through gives an error message that there is insufficient space on the card even though there's more than 600mb available before copying. I then find that i have either lost 30-40mb on the card jus disappearing and sometimes it just corrupts the card and i lose all the information on it

is there a solution for this? is there such a utility that would copy large files without corrupting the card? assuming it is activesync that is causing this

please advise

many thanks in advance

i guess you should buy yourself a USB2.0 card reader for ~10 euros and copy whatever you want to card........

afraid to say that is the exact same experience i've had.

Prolem, it seems is with active sync, I can copy hundreds of files but no file greater than about 100Mb onto my 1Gig card.

Had to resort to a card reader, bit of pain in the arse as now i've got another device fighting for desk space, but the benefits are worth it, MUCH faster and you can copy pretty much anything.

my storage card sometimes disappears from the file explorer. any solution to that?

The only problem I've had with my Sandisk 1GB Ultra II is that when I take the card out of the device and put it into as card reader, all of the directory names are scrambled random characters, and I can't write to or read from the card. I had the same problem with a 256Mb trandflash card.

You can use the program "pocket mechanic". with this you can scan, repair, format and defrag your SD/MMC.

Good luck,

Try Softick cardexport, then you can use you're magician as an usb-drive. It writes faster than act.sync and probably without size issues and it will save you another device as well :wink:

Good luck
