Cant Find Files from SD Card for my Pal...




By chic_chef on Jan 06, 2008

" "
I used to have music and picture files in my 1 GB SD card, now i couldn't seem to locate them either through the phone itself or whenever i pop them to the card reader. but when i checked the memory size/consumption, it says 975 MB used. Where are the files gone?

-Try the card reader in a different computer

Also, Try this:
1. Click start
2. Click "Run"
3. Type CMD
4. Hit Enter
5. At the new screen (command line interface), type "CD\" (no quotes) and press enter
6. Type the letter of the drive your SD card is located and then add a colon (example F:), hit enter
7. Type "dir /s > files.txt", hit enter
8. If it works you'll just see a new line
9. Browse to the root directory of your SD card and see if "Files.txt" is there (this should contain all files on your card)

Additionally try a search like this:

(if u can't see pic, click here

Let me know if that is reading your files... if it is... we have a chance to save them

To copy all of the files to your desktop to this:
1. Click start
2. Click "Run"
3. Type CMD
4. Hit Enter
5. At the new screen (command line interface), type "CD\" (no quotes) and press enter
6. Type "C:" (no quotes), hit ENTER
7. Type "MD C:\1TMP" (no quotes), hit ENTER
8. Type "cd 1tmp" (no quotes), hit ENTER
9. Type "xcopy [your SD drive letter]:\*.* /e /k /i /c /h /f" (no quotes), hit ENTER
... so if your drive letter was "F" you'd type this
Type "xcopy F:\*.* /e /k /i /c /h /f" (no quotes), hit ENTER

That should copy everything from your SD card to C:\1tmp
(to see the files double click my computer, double click "C:" drive, then double click folder "1tmp")

- Follow the instructions in this link for your operating system. That will make windows display and hidden files. See if that does the trick

- When you said you've seen the files using the second option... are you talking about using the option with the picture i provided or with the "Start -> Run -> type cmd" etc. option?
