Default memory card prepare long

When I turn on my phone, I must wait 3-4 min for memory card to prepare...Meanwhile I can not use app installed on card. Is that normal? Memory card is 2gb...free 800mb.

yes that is normal. The apps on memory card will load a bit slower. That might be the difference of read/write speed between the phone flash memory and memory card flash memories (although both are flash memories, there might be difference)

Yes it is also normal. Im talking about the froyo default apps2sd.
There is no difference when phone gets rebooted or gets disconnected from a pc (disk drive).
In both cases, the memory card apps will be freshly accessed again.

Only thing I would try,(although the wait sounds normal) backup your documents format the card fat32 with an advanced format tool better than windows.

Either limit the amount off apps which you have, or better still, the ones which you frequently need (or use) keep installed on the phone.

Same problem occurs with my device, i noticed that when it boots do not touch it for at least 2 minutes or wait a lot longer for the apps to load correctly (not market icons). You can change the cache size for the SD card via an app in the marketplace, but you require superuser permissions to do so.

hope this helps

I think this is what i'll do too if i were in your situation.
I've experienced it before, once you formatted your SD card, you'll notice the difference..
