SD Wipe After Soft Reset

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

It sounds like a possible faulty SD memory card. Have you tried a different
SD card in your mobile device?

If possible, I would also try that same 128MB SD card in another device such
as another PocketPC device or a memory card reader and perform some file
operation tests on that SD card.

If you determine your SD card to be not 100%, get a replacement if under
warranty.

I've come across a few "iffy" SD cards losing data or whole directories,
etc., and had to have them replaced.

Good luck.
