formtting

I had the same problem with my micro SD card . To solve the problem, I used my phone's software to format my card. FY I : make sure your card is unlocked before you try to format it with your phone . If your card has a lock it will be a small sliding plastic switch on the site of the card .

i cannot access my 2GB micro sd card in computer or phone, when i opened it from computer i get message card need to be formated but when i start to format card windows says unable to format this device. please help me.

You must move the music files to the appropriate folder on your micro card. put the card back in your laptop and move all the music to the "sounds" file. Your phone is not set up to read the entire card, just the folder associated with the application being used. If this doesn't work out, then copy the entire card to your desktop and format the card while inside your phone from your phones menu. Now insert the card and select, open to view files. you can now locate the appropriate file and paste the songs you would like to have on your mobile device.



Good Luck And
PLs Rate This Post!!!! :D

You are probably trying to format a micro-SD card that is greater than 2GB eg, micro-SDHC (High Capacity) of 4GB or bigger are not supported by 'older' devices. Stick to 1Gb or 2Gb standard microSD cards for your device.

Hope it helps. Let me know how you go.

xda orbit can only hold 2gb sd memory stick and doesnt recognise the HD-micro-sd.
or..
try formating it in a PC or laptop.

Format the micro sd card first and then re-insert . Sometimes the problem can be rectified

Hey! samsung SGH-E250 doesn't support 4GB memory card. Try a 2GB or 1GB memory card.

I'm not sure about your phone, but with the one that i just purchased i bought a SD card reader that plugs into the USB port. The micro SD that i bought came with an adapter and goes right into the card reader. Your computer will recognize it once you plug it in with the card in it. You can find one at walmart in the camera section.

Did you try to format the card in the device thru Windows Media Player, or Rhapsody? If so, try formatting it thru My Computer instead. My Computer>Device Name>Right Click and select format. It is most likely NOT a virus if you have only put music on the device. It is most likely a corrupt file, or a database error. Best of Luck.
