That is my problem to a "T". Both mine and my wife's can read but not write to the card. I reformatted my 2g card, now I can only "see" 1.4g. How do I fix THAT?

add me to the list... i can't even get the phone to recognize that the card is even in there... and I'm using the 512MB one that came with the phone... don't have an adapter to put it in my card reader or i'd try that route... anyone have suggestions on getting the phone to recognize that the card is indeed in there? yes I've made sure it is seated well... also, do you have to soft-reset if you insert the card while the power is on? how do you format the card from the phone?

wondering if there's something in the registry that we can change to allow writing to the card again..........w/out reformatting.

Yesterday my touch said it had a new storage card. I accepted that. Looked at file explorer and everything seems to be intact.

Instead of formatting the card, has anyone just tried to use raw storage? I've been lucky enough to avoid any memory card corruption as of yet and I think it's because I didn't format it.

What the heck is raw storage? The card comes pre-formatted, and I don't think you can write to any storage device without formatting a partition.

That being said, I formated my card to FAT16. It's been about a week without any problems. Doesn't mean anything perhaps, as it's gone that long before and still developed problems. Still, keeping my fingers crossed.

Figured I would chime in.
Had the touch since it came out. One day my files were jibberish on the 512 card. Camera also had "lines" in it so I took it back. Got a new touch. Had it happen again. Got a 4 gig transend card, happened again. Returned card and got another 4 gig. Did it again with a twist.
I was at supercross taking pics and I couldnt view them. I looked in the folder and there was nothing in the DCIM folder. I could not erase the folder or anything. I would take a pic and it would not store in the card. Then I renamed the folder DCIM (all it would let me do) and then it worked again but my previous 15 pics were gone.
Now the other day I could click on the mail messenging or text messenging buttons and they highlight but wont open. Also I cant recieve texts. Pop out the card and then it works.
Put my 512 back in for now since I missed a lot of texts.

I lose media files, some end up in temp file, not sure why, maybe was going to mail them. I cannot save any videos or pics to card. Music transfers, saves and plays fine. I was planning to get a 6 or 8 gig card so I haven't loaded any progs on it. Now I am not sure if I will get a new card if it will be useless.
