that sounds liek the memory chip is bad or the file system is soooooooooo fubared that its going to take you 8 days to finally get it to take a format.

thats the same error sd cards that have kicked the bucket give me on linux

Can you access the file system locally on the device? If so, maybe it is a compatability issue with the file systems to where you are unable to view it on your computer.

Yeah no problem accessing the file system. I can access the file Internal Storage all day long. Just won't show up in Memory and will not sync.

Just locked up a Vista Business laptop to the point of complete shut down hehe

Are you using the latest version of WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center)? I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading a post that showed that there were difficulties with the Diamond and WMDC 6.

ok can you format the internal storage via the setting menu > System tab > Clear storage and then choose "format internal storage only"

alternatively if you have tried connecting the diamond as a storage device only not active sync and still cannot access the internal storage, its definitely an issue with the file system. not with Activesync/WMDC

Also plug it directly into a hard wired usb port hubs that are not powered cause issues.

No it says "Mass Storage cannot be accessed"

and the vista machine that locked up...I was using the sync as a Hard Drive not using wm sync. Will try that next. Thanks

was having the same problems as everyone else, spoke to HTC no help.... spoke to sprint and told them about multiple reports of this issue on the forums and the rep was actually reading the forums while waiting for order support to order me a replacement, I could not get my windows xp desktop or my vista laptop to format the internal storage, finally booted my bootcamp install of vista ultimate on my macbook pro, took forever but it formatted the internal, but something just doesn't seem right can anyone go into the memory settings and confirm if they are the same as mine right after a hard reset, storage shows as total 91.55mb in use 42.66 mb and free 48.90 mb, program is total 203.84 mb, in use 62.46 mb and free 141.38 mb, storage card shows as 3832.48 mb total memory with 3827.67 mb free after hard reset, this doesn't seem right as my mogul has total storage of 146.11 mb, even though it appears to be working im definitely waiting till the new one comes, something just isnt right.
