Swapping MicroSD card in mobile phone

[jadyn]

I wonder if all you lovely people can help a girl in distress? I've currently got a 2GB MicroSD Card in my Samsung Tocco Lite and I've been given a 4GB MicroSD HC Card that will allow me to store more music files.

I'd like to know if the 4GB HC card will work in my phone and also how I can transfer all my music, photos etc off the 2GB card onto the 4GB Card. I've got an external card reader as well as an internal reader on my PC. I'm not too sure if I can use the Samsung PC Studio software that came with the phone as it's known to glitch with Vista and the downloaded online version isn't much better.

Thank you all.

Put it in the phone and see if it works then.

If it does then create a folder on your computers desktop (right click on a blank part of the desktop and right click, select new >Folder). once you've done that insert the 2Gb card into your card reader and then click start > computer and double click on the icon for the memory card. once the card window has opened click in it once and press CTRL + A to highlight everything on the card, then press CTRL + C to copy the contents of the card. now close all open windows and double click on the new folder you created earlier and then press CTRL + V. After a couple of minutes the contents of the 2GB card will be copied to the new folder on your desktop.

Once the files have copied over you can remove the 2GB card and insert the 4GB, now you simply reverse the above to copy the contents of the new folder back to the 4GB card. (so open the new folder, press CTRL + A followed by CTRL + C, then open the 4GB card and CTRL + V to copy everything back to it)

my daughter has the same phone and according to the manual, it supports cards up to 8gb depending on manufacturer and type, so should work ok, just something else to check is that your external card reader can read HC cards as not all of them can, we recently had that problem, but bought one in Poundland that supports HC.

Thank you both very much. I hadn't thought of trying it in the phone but then I have got blond hair!

Jadyn sends lots of hugs to you both.
