Pocket Mechanic MicroSD Card format Blues
 

Anyone? help?

After installing the CAB file which enables the 6800 to see 8gb SDHC cards, I turned to Pocket Mechanic to format my card to see if the full 8GB would become available, instead of the 4 that it showed out of the box.

I assumed that Pocket Mechanic would prevent the phone from going into sleep mode during such a proceedure but that was not the case. The phone went to sleep and would not wake up... A soft reset brings the phone back to life but without a storage card... neither windows mobile, nor pocket mechanic see that my card even exists.

Did I just permanently brick (err, I guess waffer would be more appropriate) my 8GB MicroSD card that I payed a cool Benjamin for? Or is there any way to recover the damn thing?

ps. tried using my laptop with a card reader, but it does not support SDHC apparently.

Beuller? anyone?

Try different Micro SD card readers
 

Try different Micro SD card readers to reformat.

I have a 4gb Kingston Micro SDHC. Only one SD reader I have lets XP see it consistently. Older readers and SD adapters don't work.

The one I have that works with the 4gb chip looks like this:

No guarantees...

Hard reset usually fixes that issue. There is a bug in PM that messes up the sdcard when you scan, defrag, or movie apps from main memory to the sd card. I have uninstalled PM till a more stable version comes out.
