Apps won't install onto SDHC Card

Texican · 08-31-09, 06:07 PM

I have an X50V running WM6 with an Adata 16g card. I had a crash last week and the device partially reset itself so today I wiped it and started over. I had about 8-9 apps installed on the SD card when it gave me the error message "________ " cannot be installed. To try installing again to a different location, choose a location:

I can install the apps to my CF card or onto a regular 2g SD card but not my 16g card. I'm only utilizing 5g's of the 16g card so it's not too full. I can also access my music and movies on the SD card as well as run the installed apps just fine. I removed the card and played with the lock dohickey on the side and I've soft reset the device with no luck.

Does anybody have any clue what is causing this problem?

That happen to me a few times. My cause was corrupt installers. But it's doubtful that 8-9 app installers would all be corrupt.

Logic dictates that it is a bad card.

Long shot: Try installing the .NET compact framework.

Last resort: Hard reset

Thanks for the link but I had an updated version. The card isn't corrupted, I just loaded 2 movies onto it from my pc. I'm thinking it may have been a tweak I made from Tweaks2k or Memaid that's blocked my access to the card. Will hard reset (

) again and update you. Thanks for the reply by the way.

Fixed the problem by reformatting my SD card. Does anyone know what causes a card to become corrupted or how likely it might be that this problem reoccurs?

I believe that even flash memory can get fragmented. That was a probable cause.

Don't know why it occurs. I have similar problems occasionally and now occasionally copy the card onto a PC, reformat it and copy everything back again. Actually I have a spare and alternate them. Defragmenting the SD card does not help this for me either.
