Hi there!
I have a Nokia N93 with a microSD memory card of 1GB (I'm using a micro to mini SD adapter).
I also have one of the many "all-in-one" USB2 memory card reader. The reader should work fine since I can read my camera compact flash without any problem, but if I try to read my mobile phone memory card, windows asks me if I want to format it... 😮
If I use the phone in "mass storage mode" and I plug the Nokia cable, I can see the content of the memory card. Any suggestion? :con?
I need to read my card with the reader for two reasons:
- much faster backups using USB 2.0
- I bought a 2GB card and I would like to swap to the new one so I'm not sure if reading the card through the phone hides the hidden files than I need to copy
Thank you for your help!😊

Happened to me too. I tried on another computer (with another reader) and it showed up OK. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software problem, but I'm leaning towards the former. Can you try it on another computer?
Otherwise, I believe that using the phone as a card-reader also works. It doesn't appear to hide anything. (But I haven't really investigated fully.)

Hi.
Thank you for the advice! I'll try to find someone with a memory card reader.
Cheers,
