[Guest C3P001]

Hey guys just a quick question I have the SD card 2 gig that came with my phone in my blade right now but i just picked a new one really cheap its 8 gig Sandisk My question is can i just copy all the data from the 2gig card over to the 8gig and it will be ok or must the new card be formatted in the phone ? thannks for any help

*** Just noticed that when i check properties of the 2 gig card in the phone it says FAT but the new 8 gig says FAT 32 *** Will it work to just transfer the data or not ?

people usually recommend formatting memory cards before their first use just so its 'done and dusted' - doesnt take 5 seconds!

then you could copy your 2gb card to pc then transfer files on pc to 8gb card

Hi ,

I have installed into my san francisco a 32GB micro HC SD card which I purchased from mymemory.co.uk with no problems.

I think most micro SD cards come formatted FAT32.

First of all I copied all my original files across from the 2GB card.

One word of warning.

Make sure all data has finished copying, as it may take some time to transfer data to the larger cards and if the transfer has not completed, your phone won't recognise it.

I use Linux, so I just logon as root and do a few syncs at the command line and wait for the prompt to reappear.

Have fun
