Transfering files between memory cards

1 replies · 1,533 views · Started 02 April 2005

I have a new 128 memory card, I want to transfer all the applications that I had on my 64 card to the 128, what is the best way to do this? Or do I need to re install each application again?
Thanks

Two ways i know of doin this. one requires a nokia phone and connection other a card reader.
For nokia one just back up phone and memory usin pc suite with 64 card installed. Replace card with 128 and restore back up file. This works most of the time.
For card reader it's just a matter of drag and drop into blank folder then back onto new card. Remember to expose hidden folders or some of data will be lost. I usually do a search of card 1st for all files inc hidden. Main system folder usually hidden. Expose it by unchecking hidden box in properties inc sub folders. now when ya open card ya should see all main folders. If ya just drag and drop main folders it keeps everything where it should be and phone is non the wiser. If ya just drag and drop sub folders or the progrom ya after make sure ya format new card in phone 1st then put sub folder/program in back in correct folder on new card.
Hope this helps
