I had a 4g microsdhc card in the xv6800. Verizon btw.
Had a couple larger programs installed to the storage card.

Decided to upgrade a bit and got 8g microsdhc. Turned off
ppc, copied 4g's files to laptop, then copied to 8g.

Tried using Garmin gps, problem with that as I assume card id
has changed. Couple other card id generated serials did not want
to work either.

So I remove everything from storage, cept for some personal files
etc... And in the process of removing I came up with the brilliant
idea, hmm... new storage card, might as well try out the hard reset
feature and start fresh.

At the beginning everything was fine. I restored pim data with Sprite,
and when I installed Sprite, I installed to the storage card. Install went fine
but after the soft reset, its got default icon, and don't work. So I am thinking, ok, maybe its gotta be installed to the device. Yep that worked.
So I installed some other apps I thought should also go to the device, and they worked as well.

Came to some larger apps, Garmin first, and it works. But it's the only one
that works when I install to the storage card. Any app I have tried to install
to the storage card, after soft reset, has default icon, and won't open.

I searched thru the storage card, win folder, programs folder, my documents just in case, and they are all empty. and yes I am browsing with show all files checked.

Soz its prolly something real simple that I am overlooking. All I know is the
programs that I had installed to the storage card i assume aren't actually installing, cause there are no files, but same program will install to the device
and run/work.

Any takers want to point out my stupidity for me? What I doing/did wrong?

:):confused::)

I really have NO clue what the problem is,
BUT,
I had an odd problem with files lost on my 4G card. I stuck it into a good card reader and plugged it into my laptop. I did a 'chkdsk' on it (checked it for errors) and it found a number of lost clusters. I let it repair those, and all was well.

Actually, I believe that when I saw the errors, I copied everything off the card and just reformatted it.
Don't forget the 'safe to remove' button on the PC.
