hi.
i have card reader and by mistake when i inserted my mmc card i changed it's labe, and now when i'm powering up my 6600 it's stuck on the nokia logo. but when o removing the mmc card the phone starts normaly.
how can i change the mmc label?
i'ved tryed via the card reader buy with no luck.
please help :con?

Changing the name of the mmc via card reader should not be a problem, mmc is like a diskette so the card reader could still be writing on it when you removed it so your mmc was corrupted somehow. Try to format the mmc using the phone's format option you can do what this guy did...

I have installed qoffice and it crashed my 6600 and i had to figure out a new method to format my memory card and here is it how to do that....

1) Switch off your phone.
2) Remove the back cover and remove the memory card and make sure that you don't pmove back the clip which locks the memory card. Push it fully to the simcard side.
3) Putback the battery and switch on the phone but don't put the back cover of the phone. After the phone is fully switched on, go to the "Extras" folder and keep the focus on the "Memory" application so that you can start the application with one click.
4) Now keep the phone on a flat surface and slowly lisf the back side of the battery(the side which don't have the connectors). Make sure that the battery connnectors are touching so that phone will not switch off.
5) Now insert the memory card the the gap between the battery and phone. Don't worry about puting back the memory card lock.
6) Press the battery down so that it will press the memory card in the correct place. Now you have a phone with memory card installed.
7) Start the "Memory" application to format it.
8) Thats it!! Reinstall all your programs and Enjoy 😊

Good luck,

But word of caution, make a copy of your mmc first before you format as this will lose all the files on your mmc.

cheers.
