Guest Mr.Clean Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Ok, so I was trying to copy a movie to my storage card. I connected the phone to the computer and selected explore from ActiveSync. I dragged the .avi file from my computer to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Videos folder on the phone. It acts like it's copying and it displays a progress bar. After a minute or two, the progress bar just starts over from the beginning and it never copies the movie. Eventually, I just hit the cancel button. So, I launch WMP on my computer and try to use that to sync the movie to the phone. It gets 6% complete and just hangs up! So, I cancel that too and unplug the phone and power cycle it to start fresh. When the phone comes back on, I notice the it's only showing 150M free on my card. Before I started, I had 350M free. So I'm thinking it must have copied the movie after all! Much to my dismay, I can't find the movie anywhere on the card! What happened to the missing 200M? Anybody ever seen anything like that before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

I've had a few incidents like this before, normally when copying files like you, unfortunately you'll have to reformat your SD card to get your 200Mb back :) Phil

I was afraid that may be the case after spending a few minutes cleaning up various files on the card and still coming up 200M short. I guess that means I'll have to download all the various apps I have installed on the card all over again... Oh the joys of using a Microsoft product!
Guest Confucious Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 AS is very slow and not good at handling large files - invest a few dollars in a card reader - it will be a lot faster and more reliable. Then just copy the whole of your card onto your PC, reformat the card and copy everything back. Hopefully It should be OK. HTH
