> Bad memory card problem!
Bookmark topic
i all, i have a problem, so i figured i would come here..
i recently bought a 4gb pro duo card for my Sony K750i off ebay for about £30, it was working great untill i tried to put a substantial amount of music on it (1gb) but only a handful of the songs would acctualy play, i cant quite remember the error message, but it was something along the lines of "failed to play media file."
feeling rather worried, i went to google. i took advice from a website (http://ilari.scheinin.fidisk.fi/blog/?p=20) and formatted the card using the "format ext. memory" function in the file manager.
however, when i lthen conected my phone to the computer, (via USB lead) the folders that the phone uses had not been re-created, as someone on here had said it should. (I read this somewhere yesterday.)
i have tried formatting it again to no avail, i have even tried copying the files from the memory card that came with the phone. (it just said the file had become corropt when viewed in windows.
and another thing, it wouldn't work with my mum's belkin memory card reader, it just crashed explorer :S
sorry if that was a bit long...
thanks in advance!
EDIT: i have tried re-creating all the files that are on my 64mb stick (that works) manualy, only for it to say they are currupt.
(i tried posting in the Memory stick FAQ thread, to no avail)

chances are it's fake. but you could try formatting it using your pc first, like a normal hard drive? then inserting into your phone and reformatting it into your phone's format?
