Storage Card Issues ...

[KRZTF]

hello everyone!

since i bought a microSDHC storage card (4GB class 6) for my hermes, i am having problems with accessing the files i store on it....
i usually format the card in the device (using StorageTools or using WM5Storage in WindowsXP) and afterwards copy various files and folders on the card. when at first, everything seems tow ork great, after some time i am having troubles accessing the files. when trying to access the storage card with TOTAL COMANDER for example, i get following error:
"Error 13 changing to dir"

after reseting the device or ejecting and inserting the storage card again, it seems to work again...

is anyone familiar with such kind of problem?
is my storage card broken?

regards,krz

Hum!

I think you should first repair your disk with CHKDSK on Windows.

Try it and report.

Cheers

thank you komanguy!
i should have added, that i already did that too.
CHKDSK did report couple of errors (sorry, i forgot which) and fixed it.
after that, i formated.
everything seemed ok, and the out of a sudden... problems again!

i will try some more things and will report back.
if anyone else got a hint, i would be grateful!

Maybe SDHC drivers are not proper on your device? Try partitioning your SD card (http://pocketpc-live.com/pocket-pc/partition-sd-cards.html).

another thing, that really pisses me off is, that SD card readers dont seem to be able to read from those cards... i tried it with the adapter from micro to normal size SD card, no succeys at all. friend of mine having the same problems....

so the only way to read/write that microSDHC is via the pda! and this is superslow!! i really wonder, why i got myself a class 6 microSDHC....?

anyone knows a cardreader, that REALLY works (fast) with microSDHC cards?
:confused:

thx.krz

not all card readers support the high capacity cards.. need to find you one that does.. I bought a 1gb A-Date microSD a while back that came with a tiny USB adapter that works flawlessly with my current 8gb card.. its nice having the adapter on my keychain whenver I need to dump files to and from it. back to the problem at hand.. the contacts might be dirty.. I would blow some compressed air in it and try that then if that didn't work find some stiff paper, cut it to the microSD width.. saturate it with 90% alcohol but not dripping and run it in and out of the slot a few times.. hope this helps
