SD Problem Axim X30H

ncpdhom · 11-16-04, 09:36 AM

I have a SanDisk 256mb card which was working fine on my Axim 30H but recently I've encountered a problem. I can't access any data I stored on it before the problem started. I can store new stuff, and this new stuff works fine... but can't access the "pre-problem" stored data. I can see it's still there when I look at my memory but can't access it. It primarily consists of pictures, music and pocket excel work sheets. Possibly? I deleted someting??? If I launch any of these programs they work fine...... Do I have to format my SD card? And, if so how do I do that since I can't see the individual files that are in there, I can only see the amount of space it is taking up but nothing else.

I had originally posted on X30 hardware problems but no one replied...So sorry for the reposting here... Just need help, someone please.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Sup I am not sure but your problem might be that you deleted the files on your card but you didnt empty
the trash bin so they are still there but in the trash and you cant use that space until they are fully deleted.
If you used a reader connected to a computer reconnect it insert card and empty trash on computer while
accessing card that should fix it but you lose your data unless you say restore all files in trash instead. I had this happen to me before if this is your problem.

I'll try that... Thanks
But first I guess I have to get a card reader... so much for activesync.

Say you can browse your axim with active stink and then empty trash or restore trash
it should still work that way i guess. But a reader is must faster and more reliable
than active stink so you cant go wrong buying one and they are cheap. I dont use
active stink ever since I got a reader.
