View Full Version : SD card data loss after overclocking?

Did anyone experience an unexplained loss of data (in particular, the "My Documents" folder) on their SD card after overclocking their device (Jamin)?

I overclocked it yesterday and while everything works like a charm, the entire My Documents folder disappeared from my SD card - gone, like the wind. Everything else is still there, and from the memory reading it seems like it's still full, too - but the content of the folders currently on the card can in no way make up for 600 Mb. I can't see the folder, and the Jamin can't access them, but the content is still there... somehow.

Tried the card on another pocket pc, same thing. Can't see most of my files. Any ideas? Help is highly appreciated! :)

I've been running overclocked at 252mhz for well over a month now and not had any data loss.

What brand memory card is it?

It's a Lexar. 1 Gig. I think maybe it's because I put the OmapClock program file into the storage card and linked from there?

I'll try to put the exe file into the Windows folder now, and then re-do the link process again. Hopefully it will work. I am used to the faster speed now and I don't want to go molasses again....

I too had the same problem... TWICE!!!

I thought at first it was a problem with Memaid, but it seems to be related more with overclocking. I too ran Omapclock.exe from the card and was accessed trhough a shortcut that was called through the camera button.

Now I just don't overclock just to see how it goes, but yes, I'd better be at 240 Mhz than 180 Mhz... But now I have to backup my SD card every now and then just in case... :?

I've also had SD data loss...
Twice in the last week ...
I am NOT running any overclocking on my JAMin but was using a no-name brand 4G miniSD card.

With the first failure, the result was as you describe. A full looking card, but nowhere near that amount of data on the card.

The second time 'round, I found that the SD card was filled up with empty directories !?! ...

I've put the 4GB card away for a while and have gone back to a 1Gb card (and keep a backup card, complete copy, nearby).

Sorry, my case not connected with overclocking, but same kind of data loss !

Cheers,
Wit C.
