Re: SD card corrupt?

OK I have read through this entire thread and here is my story. Much like a lot of you, I have had more or less the same problem. I have an HTC S640 with the most recent ROM. I have had no problems using a 4 GB Micro card, but with 2 8 GB cards, I toasted both of them. The first one is completed destroyed and no recovery tools will recover it. The second 8 GB micro, I formatted using a special SD card formatter that formatted it with the "correct" format. Something to do with fat 32 and fileblocks...(don't ask). It seemed to work, then just when I thought it would be OK, it's down and out like the first one. I have read other forums and I wonder if it's not so much the hardward but more a few programs that behave badly in a SDHC environment. Some have reported not to have email attachments saved on the storage card, and google maps causing problems. So, would it be possible that some of the programs, native ones as well need to be updated to be compatible with larger SD cards. I thought I would try a name brand card, but after eating almost $100 I am a bit gun shy. How about Sandisk and the hardware people come straight with us and please make some sense of all this. So until then, as much as I am dying to try the 16 GB micro card, I will wait to hear that these crazy problems are corrected. If anyone has a solution to this, please contact me on markjdavenport.com

Thanks
