I have formatted the card different ways...using the normal WinXP formatter & Palm Card Reader, using an external Card Reader...no change. I even tried using a "special" Formating program made especially for SD\SDHC cards by Panisonic called SDFormatter, but it still has the same problem.

I have browsed the web & many forums & they all say that the Centro CAN use 8gb SDHC card with no problems. The only issue anyone says, is that the Centro can't properly show the card size info, etc. I don't know what the problem could be.

Any help here???
Thanks!

Maybe your wife's centro has many applications on boot, try one of both in this sequence:

1. Use Safeguard or CardKeeper and enable the "Keep Card Mounted" feature.

2. If this doesn't work, try rename the card with you device, and follow step 1 (this has worked for me before, the only repercussion is that your backup app may not recognize the backups already made, but this can be solved)

3. Try modifying you ROM (You need to do a research on this - and be careful!)

Now... (before you try #3) if these do not work try see if the card is visible in "Safe Mode", after a warm reset in other words (read your manual to find out how). If you see your card after a warm reset and then you don't after a soft reset, it means that you got caught in a common problem with treos. What may happen here is that when you reset there are many application getting notifications of the reset, so that they can register with the Palm OS, these are just things like alarms, time, and stuff like that, so that the info/event is properly available/handled after the reset. So if there are many notifications being registered, it may bug your phone to the point where it may not function properly, as far as installing the SD goes. The result is = a problem similar to yours.

So if this is the case, then do some research on CleanStart, it tries to correct this issue. This app control you device and tells it which apps should get reset notifications.

If you give us your apps installed we may advice you as to which apps you may need to disable on CleanStart. I made a big post on CleanStart and Uncashe like 4 days ago (look a few pages back).

Hope this helps
