    If you look up the card in Windows Explorer, right click on it's icon and then click Properties, it'll come up with the properties window with a few different tabs at the top. Click on the Tools tab and Error Checking will be at the top.

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    suppose that could explain things, I've been had off

    ordered 2 x 2Kingston 2gb Micro SD Card delivered "clearly " marked on cards as 2gb looks like I've been swindled :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    will check the other card I ordered tomorrow night now
    but its interesting that I have ordered 3 cards (same ones/same size) and all three have proved to be faulty now looks like it the size thingy :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    :confused::confused::confused:

    I have just rechecked the properties of the card and it states 1.83 GB free space

    :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    what's going on which one is correct the phone details or the computer properties file
  • I also have a Samsung E900 and bought a micro SD card for it.

    Reading the reviews in Play.com for the San Cruz 1GB card i think I recall reading a review which says a 2GB is not compatible with the E900.

    Maybe there are 2 partitions, one with 2mb and one with the rest of the 2gb?

    this does not explain why I can't transfer files though
    I only seem to be able to transfer a very, very small amount of files to the card from the phone, bearing in mind i have got 2 cards and the same problems occur on both :mad::mad:

    any other solutions, apart from tear my hair out
