View Full Version : Strange MicroSD Problem

As some of you know, the Hermes has some problems recognizing the MicroSD card at times. I've read for some solutions for this.

However that is not my problem.

It recognizes fine, but some things disappear randomly. For example, one day all my music in a folder on the card will disappear, then the next day, all my music will appear again.

My main problem is the "My Documents" folder. This folder is automatically created whenever pictures/videos are taken. Recently, I had to use the camera alot and I have the setting on the camera so that it saves to the storage card. However, if I go back to look for it in the "My Documents" folder, there is nothing in there. I put the MicroSD card into the transflash adapter and put it into the adapter for the computer. It doesn't show the files.

Now I know that it took the pictures and saved it because each time I take a photo, the storage on my card goes down. It's probably hidden somewhere.

Is there any way I can find these files?

Thanks

Edit: I would like to clarify that this is a 1GB card.

This is the same issue..

Who is the manufacturer of the card, and where was it made?

If it is not Kingston with a Made in Japan stamp on the tiny MicroSD card itself, then get one.

Ahh yes I read your post. I have a cheapo SanDisk. Will pick up a Kingston after I recover some of my files!

Anyone know how I can access these files though? They're there, but it seems hidden.

I'd love to find out where these "hidden files" are on my card. Any help? I have a Sandisk 2.0GB made in Taiwan and i've been experiencing these problems too. I had no clue it had to do with where the card was made.

I was going to reformat the card, but if I can get the pix back from it i'd be super psyched! TIA.
