I have three storage cards from my Palm usage days...a 16, 32 and 64MB.

I had been using the 32MB regularly since I got the e310 and then the e335.

Just the other day, I decided I wanted to use the 64MB for music files. Popped out the 32 and put in the 64MB.

I get a prompt "Would you like to format this card so that the system can use it". Not sure so I tap "no". I go to add a folder to the storage card, and I can't.

So I take out the storage card, and put it back in. Same format prompt. This time I tap yes. When I check the storage card, I see all of the files and folders that were on the 32MB card.

That's strange, I think. I proceed to get rid of all of the files and folders...then create a new folder (music), load my wma and mp3 files and go on my way.

Cut to this morning, when I am ready to read the NETBible I have on the 32MB card. I pop it in and....all of the files are gone!!!!. Instead, on the card are all of the OLD Palm files that were on the card before I started using it with my Pocket PC.

What on earth happened?? I am positive, without a doubt that I was prompted to format the 64MB card. What happened to all of my files on the 32MB card? Anyone have anything like this happen to them??

If you cannot resolve this palm/CE issues then get yourself a program called flashformat from flash format (http://www.cnetx.com/format/)
