Hey all,
I have a microSD that i use for music, movies and pictures in my 2x (via adaptor) and my phone (natively), recently i was copying some music onto it and it got cut off halfway through resulting in a piece of corrupted data that could not be deleted.
I backed up all the good data onto my computer and put the sd into my 2x and quick reformatted it using the windows utility for doing just that.
when that finished my phone couldnt read it, my phone wanted to reformat it, so i let it. now neither my phone nor my 2x will mount it.
I used fdisk through telnet on gp2x to fdisk it but when i create a new partition i can chose the start sector but i have no chance to select the end sector.
Then when i use command 'p':

CODE

Disk /dev/mmcsd/disc0/disc: 1 heads, 1985024 sectors, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1985024 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcsd/disc0/part1 1 2 1985023+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(1, 0, 1985024)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(0, 0, 0) should be (0, 0, 1985024)



Then 'v':

CODE

Disk /dev/mmcsd/disc0/disc: 1 heads, 1985024 sectors, 1 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1985024 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/mmcsd/disc0/part1 1 2 1985023+ 83 Linux
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(1, 0, 1985024)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary:
phys=(0, 0, 0) should be (0, 0, 1985024)




Can anyone tell me how i can fix this??? I dont have a proper sd reader so i cant do it thru windows or mac.

i really want this microSD fixed, i dont really want to buy a new one atm =[
 
I think these Secure Digital cards are not really very 'secure' at all. I have had more failures with them than any other form of data storage I have ever used.

Don't know how you can recover your card, but one tip for the future is this: do not format your SD/miniSD card using Windows. Use Linux, or a camera or something.
