I've only had my Sandisk 256 MB for a day and have had some problems.

Before formatting I could create folders, but nothing transferred there showed up afterwords. I DL'd CnetX (trial) and formatted it to FAT16, 8KB clusters, but any soft reset with the card in the Ax then required reformatting the card. I also DL'd the freeware version of StorageTools ( http://download.com.com/3000-2178-96...ml?tag=lst-0-2 ) and then fromatted to FAT32 as was suggested in one thread and the card seems stable now.

So give that a try and report any further problems...

This is obviously a Sandisk/Axim incompatability problem since users report no problems with other brands. Many people also report no probs with Sandisk so maybe it just requires the right settings to keep the card stable. I was basically stuck getting Sandisk as nobody in my city carries any large capacity SD cards in any brand other than Sandisk
