SD Card or Droid 2 issue?

[rtrue012]

Okay here is what I have. I originally purchased a Droid X. I returned it and got the Droid 2. I took and backed up all the info from the SD Card on the Droid X. I then took that same info and copied it to the Droid 2 SD Card. Everything works great no problems. I then take the Droid 2 and connect it to my PC and it recognizes it being connected but when I put it to "usb mass storage" option it continously bounces from "unmount to mount" and "preparing sd card". I formatted a new card copied everything from the existing card and attempted to connect with the same result. I then pulled the card and formatted it, did not copy anything to the card, plugged it in blank, attempted to connect to PC with the same result.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Thanks for the help!

Perhaps nobody has had a good answer for you yet. Have you ever been able to successfully mount the SD card of your D2?

Let's try this again...

"when I put it to "usb mass storage" option it continously bounces from "unmount to mount" and "preparing sd card"

what could be causing this and how can I resolve it?

THANKS!

Have you tried another SD card yet? Sounds like it might be a bad card. Is it formatted Fat32? Have you tried reformatting it outside the phone?

Here is what I have discovered...

I connected it to second pc and let the device be recognized and install all the drivers necessary and it worked as it should.

Now I have to figure out what I need to do next to have it work on my primary pc.

How would I go about deleted all drivers associated with my Droid 2 (A995) and start over with the device being recognized and let it install it's own drivers like the first time.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! THANKS!

Try going into the control panel then add remove prgrams and look for Motorola software and uninstall it. If that doesn't work go into system and see if you can find the motorola drivers there. Good luck.

Here is where I am at this point...

I deleted all drivers associated with my Droid 2 (A995). Here is a link with those instructions that I used

I downloaded and installede the drivers from Motorola from this link

I connected my Droid, the PC recognized and installed all drivers necessary. I set my Droid to USB connection and the phone continued to "prepare SD card". I then changed my USB setting to "Debugging" and then PC recognized that change and my micro sd card drive popped up to open.

TADA! I now have access to my card with the Droid connected via USB.

Sounds complicated for such a simple process! Am I missing something? And does the phone have to be in DEBUG mode in order for the PC to open my sd card?

I will keep things posted if changes are noticed.

Shouldn't have to be in that mode but you never answered my question as to whether or not you tried a different SD card. But if it's working than that good news.

In my original post I did mention using a different card.

I formatted it and copied all my files to it and put it back in my D2. Same result.

I formatted it and did not copy any files and put it back in my D2. Same result.

Thats where I was when i posted.

If anybody has a better solution PLEASE let me know. It seems as if there is something going on with my drivers on my primary pc. Not sure.

So you did, I missed that. Let me ask something else.... have you tried manually assigning a different drive letter to the mount in Windows under Disk Management? I've seen this happen at times with drive letter mount assignment conflicts. Let me think more and I'll get to you. Wife's asking for me at the moment.
