I just got a new 2.0gb mini sandisk for my phone and when I put it in it was working, then I put a couple of songs on it, now some how out of the blue my ppc 6700 does not read it now. when i look in my memory under storage card it says, "total storage card memory: Not installed" My card is in it so does anyone know what is wrong.

I had to reformat my card with pocket mechanic.... they have a free trial that you can use and it will reformat your card in your phone instead of having to have a reader.

don't know if I have a new rom, but I do know I have the new "Radio", I will try the reformat hopefully that fixes it. Also do anyone know what cause the problem. Because even if the reformating does work, I don't want it to happen again.

This is for sure an issue with the phone. I have had various issues with my MiniSD cards wth different versions of the Sprint ROM. The SD cards work fine in my camera, they get weird after a while on the phone an need a reformat. The current problem I am seeing is related to nesting folders. I can put 2GB of data in the root of my SD just fine. If I start putting things in sub folders it causes the phone to lock up.

I downloaded "pocket mechanic" to my phone, and when I try to do a reformat it doesn't show my sd card. Is there another way to format it or is my card ruin know, I hope not!

Use DOS in windows to format it to FAT16 or FAT32
