Hey there...

my Orbit2 (polaris) was working fine for some weeks now.

Well, something weird happened. Since yesterday the Storage Card doesn't show up anymore on my Orbit2.

I have no PC microSD-Reader to test it with that. But what the hell is that. I did nothing with the card. Really weird.

Any suggestions? Maybe a registry thing?

Thanks

Time to time my Cruise loses the card too...

This happens especially when doing weired things like lunching TomTom with the usb connected to the PC, and a sync starts blocking everything.

Usually it is just enough to hot remove and reinsert the card to get it back.

Beware, if you are obliged to reboot and the card is not seen yet, the system creates a "storage card" folder in the system memory and if your card gets recognized after, its name becomes "storage card 2".

To get back things, with the sd card outside the phone you have to erase the folder "storage card" just created.

Also, looking at forums it seems some people got the card corrupted, thus requiring the card to be reformatted (experience not yet tried).

Thanks for the answer.

Seems to be, that I'm in bigger trouble because removing and inserting doesn't help ;(
Even PocketMechanic doesn't recognize any card. But the device recognizes that i insert something because the backlight turns on when removing/inserting the card.

Also noticed the thing with the folder.
Hmm.. is there a key in the registry that could have something to do with that?

Well too bad. Will need to get a reader anywhere. Wanted to get a new, bigger card anyway but i need the data, hope it's not corrupted.

Bye

try this:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\Auto Mount ... change to 1. if its alreay 1 change to 0 than again change to 1. becoz 1 to show SDcard. restert requer fot the effects.

hey,

got the same problem with the sd-card ...

why this happens :
- removed the sd-card
- started tomtom6 without maps stored on sd
- reinserted the sd-card
-> wm6 now did not recognize the inserted card !??


tried :
- softreset with and without the card
- changed the "automount" 0 / 1 and restarted the system several times (with and without the card)
- wm6 creates a folder called "StorageCard" ... deleted this folder ... restart ... different combinations of folder-delete / restart / registry change


but nothing works ... want to prevent the "hardreset" - any suggestions :confused::confused::confused:


thx

Guys

Are yiou sure that the card is ok ?

I picked up an 8gig card from the web , it worked for a month then just died !

It is not recognised in any device / computer , its just dead !!!

Not sure why this should happen as I didnt touch/ remove the card , it was working , I went to bed , woke up and it wasnt working the next day !

£40.00 down the drain ,
