MicroSDHC Card problems

[Speedy624]

I have a 16GB ScanDisk MicroSDHC card and since yesterday it has been constantly freezing up my HTC Touch Pro. I have had it since the Touch Pro was released and has been working perfectly fine until yesterday. I have unplug it from my PC a number of times because transfers were taking ridiculous amount of time, I'm pretty sure this is causing the problem.

How can I check it for errors and stop it from freezing my device?

Do you have a way to connect the card to your PC without using the TP?

Yes, I have an internal card reader

Use that and transfer all the files you want to keep, then format???

[Speedy624]

Is formatting the only option? No Windows or Linux app to test the hard for errors for something? The built in Vista utility is rubbish and can't find anything for Linux.

+1 for that, That usually will clear up your issue, its not that hard.

This cab (cardspeed)will test your read/write speeds of your card:

This cab (tnyynt)is supposed to speed up your storage card:

OK, i've tried reformattin a number of times but Windows can't complete the format. I've tried Fat32 and NTFS, now what do I do?

Get the panasonic card formatter. It is the best and it is free. Called SDFormatter V 2.0

Back up all your data and reformat it in FAT32.
