Transfering from SD to SD

[PepperMan98]

I recently bought a 32Gb micro SD card for my EVO. I plugged my phone into my computer via the USB cable, and I plugged the SD card into the computer via the adapter. I spent over an hour waiting while the info copied and pasted from one drive to the other. When I looked in the new card root, it showed 7Gb of memory taken up on the new card, just like the old card, yet when I put it into the phone there were MANY things missing. No pix were transferred at all.

I formatted the new card and tried again, with the same problem. when I looked into the individual folders, some show the same number of files but with different amounts of space. How can I get everything transferred properly without wasting more time?

Welcome.

You have to format both cards in your phone, but looks like you got a junk card off of ebay.

If not, then what you need to do is this:

1) Copy info from card A to the pc (Make a folder on the desktop)

2) Then put the new card B into your device and format it.

3) Copy contents from the PC to the new card.

Formating a card in the PC is a no no.

I recently had the same query. I used DropBox to transfer all my folders to and then imported them onto the new card. It was very easy. Just an idea for you.

The key though is not to format the new card in a pc and to format it in the phone.

Awesome, I will format it in the phone. Just because I am curious, how does the formatting location affect it?

Different file formats....let the device create the DCIM folders, etc. for you.
Then just override them with the old contents.

Makes sense. I appreciate the help!
