Hp Pavilion Mmc Slot

Options
My computer (HP Pavilion) has a MMC slot at the front and i was wondering if anyone knows if and how is it possible to use the MMC card from the nokia 6230 directly in the slot or do I need to buy a card reader? :confused:

    just put the card in and it will be seen as a new drive, then you can browse the card like you would any other.

    If you are looking to use this to install programs etc. you are going to have to copy them over to the card then use your file manager in the phone to open it, then file will automatically install.

    remember to delete the file afterwards to free up some space.

    I would recommend using this program for file managment, it's free and by far the best:

    You know you can get themes etc. for your phone

    I have a card reader on my pc too, a hp as well. When ever I put in my card from my phone it doesn't respond. I'm not sure if my card reader is at fault or my card, or something else. I simply don't know what to do.

    Is the card in your phone new? I have only had this problem once and it was solved by formatting the card in the phone.

    Have you tired any other cards, do they work?

    Could also be a case of reinstalling drivers.

    It's about 8mth old, came with the phone, it's been formatted. I get the message "please insert disk drive". The other card readers on the pc work, well 2 others out of 4, haven't tried another mmc/sd in that drive, but lights come on. I will try to see if I can update the drivers. Also do I need to install nokia software?

    Unlucky, Nokia 6230 does not support themes. Nokia 6230i does though.
    ... Also do I need to install nokia software?
    Not if you are just uploading tones and pics.
