Mobility Site - View Single Post - My Axim always wants to format my SD card

My PDA: AXIM X30
I recently purchased an ATP 1GB 60x SD card. The first time I inserted the card it asked me to format it and I clicked ok and everything was good, I copied MP3 to it and played them fine. The next day I turned on my Axim, and the message popped-up again, asking me to format the card again before I can use it. I took it over to my PC and it said the same thing, it wanted to format the card. It looks like if I leave the card in there for sometime, overnight, when I turn it on it asked to reformat again. I tried formatting the card on both my PC and PPC using FAT32. I tried low-level format using Pocket Mechanic, I ran Card R/W test and if found no errors. If I keep using the PDA on and off it seems to work, but keeping it off for a long period of time I have to re-format.

I don’t get it, I think the card is fine, maybe my Axim is doing something to the card??

Please help...
Thanks
Daniel.
