lol..this remind me of iden when the guys had problem running the carrier program and it won't read the phone..try the usb driver to make sure its there when you connect.but then you said that your phone won't read it! just some idea's bro take it out to a soft reset reboot and out the card back in...let me know how you made out.

if you have the adapter for it to fit in your pc.You could always go under devices then find it .then force a reformat.

tried that like 10 times wcked lol.... reads the other 2gb fine.

have the adapter but the computer wont even recognize it to be able to reformat the card.

lol yeah it was working fine than all of a sudden it popped out a lil and didnt notice right away so i have a feeling that it is fried. ill just put it in the package that i got from when i got my card for christmas and exchange it for a new one lol.

Sounds like you poped that thing out without safely removing it.... that's the only reason i could think of why that happen. there's no recovery as far as i know.

Dash,

I know this thread is old, but I found this when searching for my problem. Identical to yours. The real deal San Disk 2gb card, all of a sudden my Touch won't recognize it as even being in teh phone like what happened to you. My stand alone card reader can read it on my pc, so it doesn't seem to be the card. My touch still does read other cards though fine, and this happened out of the blue. I've tried all the obvious fixes and trouble shooting things...

Did you ever find a remedy? I know, you took it back to the store right? lol....

Right on. I'm gonna try it in my GF's Wing later on to see if it will read it. Weird it worked fine for so long and then crapped..... Don't really care about the data, just the $ for the card...... Oh Well, I needed a bigger one anyways.....

Forced a re-format through my card reader on my PC, and Voila! It worked. Touch now recognizes it again. For future reference!!!!! Thx.....

Since we are on the topic of sd cards. Is there a way to reformat the card while its in the phone because I don't have a card reader. Thanks.

ummmmmm not sure i dont think that there is you can get a usb card adapter from best buy for like 10 bucks they are really cheap and work great... or you could even get one of ebay....... make sure you get SD though dont get an off brand.
