Moving SD from one Surround to Another

---

I dropped my phone pretty bad...although the screen didn't shatter.....the LCD won't light. It powers on, digitizer works so I can touch and unlock it, sounds work....but no screen.

So, I am ordering a new Surround. If I take the SD from the first and stick it in the second, will everything boot back to where it was on the old or will it screw everything up and I am better off re-installing ALL of that crap back onto the new phone? (just a thought).

no that won't work. SD cards are married to the device at format. You will need to reformat the card and it will be remarried to the new device.

Ya, I was afraid of that. Thanks!

if you ever had Zune do a backup you -might- be able to restore that backup to the phone if you name it the same...dunno if that works for sure though. I know the memory reported has to be the same because when I changed from one 32 to another 32gb card in my Focus it wouldn't restore because the actual memory reported was different between cards.

Surround is a cool phone though, got one for my dad as his first smartphone and he's pretty blown away.
