Card keeps on formatting!!!

[tariq_niazi]

Hello!

I am using Faria's WM6 Rom. It was working excellent in the beginning but now all of a sudden it started asking for formatting the miniSD card. I formatted it once thinking that maybe I never formatted it before on my Pocket PC. But for some reason, this formatting the card message keeps on popping up again and again. I am thinking maybe whenever my phone battery becomes low, it asks for formatting the card. But I doubt this. Can anyone suggest a solution(s) to this problem.

Just to clarify, you're asking about the Wizard? Your signature is throwing me off. Anyhow, if you do have a Wizard (which you must if you're running Faria's WM6), what other 3rd party apps have you installed and/or are running? Also, when exactly is the message popping up?

Try using it in desktop/laptop using a card reader. That can give some clue.

I tried it on my desktop and still the card is asked to be formatted. Is the card itself the problem?

Yes I do own a Wizard but has not updated my Signature yet! I will do a hard reset on the Wizard and then let you know of when it starts asking me to do the formatting every time I soft reset.

- TKNOn your PC try a unconditional format of the SC (not a quick format) ... but, IMO, you have a defective SC.

I did the unconditional formatting on my PC using the SD adapter. After it got formatted, I took the SD card out from the reader and put it back in again. Again I was given the message to format the card when I tried going into the SD card. Yes I think my card is defective then. I never had this problem until few months ago I lost my data in the card when it asked me to format the card on Pocket PC.

Yeah, it really does just sound like your card is bad. Come to think of it, I had the same issue with an SD card a year or so back (not for this device though). That also was a dud.
