(SOLVED) SDcard doesn't get get recognized.

What makes you come to that conclusion? Can you post the details? Did you see my blog posts about unrecognized cards?

Again, what ROM do you have? Could you put it in your signature line?

Have you read my page about checking card integrity at http://sdjf.esmartdesign.com/cards.html

Have you run "mount" and "df" with it inserted? What brand and size of card?

Did any manuals come with your Z? You could possible boot into the emergency system but I'm not sure you want to mess with that.

Do you know what a soft reset is?

If not, then be sure to get a copy of the sl5500 manual from Sharp's site. The link is probably on the console tutorial page.

Something else I want to mention is that the blog posts about my CF cards have some ideas in them that apply to SD cards as well. There are, of course, some differences, but there also are some basic principles that apply to both. Since the posts are about woes and adventures, I didn't put everything that I know about expansion cards in general in those blog posts, just the stuff that had to do with the particular issues that came up at the times I wrote the posts.

So, if you want to learn about problem solving with expansion cards and see real live examples, I would recommend reading both kinds of categories...just bear in mind that the precise commands will be different for the different media, but the principles are the same.

Ah, geez, of course. I didn't know it was a mini instead of a regular.

Congratulations!!
