Unable to copy things to phone ? January 15, 2010
Recently I had a strange problem with my phone. I am unable to transfer data to phone, especially videos. It said, “SECTOR NOT FOUND….” error and cancelled the transfer.
SOLUTION:
1. Connect your phone in data transfer mode (LIKE PENDRIVE). Dont use PCSUITE software to connect it. In otherwords, switch OFF your phone and connect it.
2. After its connected, open DISK DEFRAGMENTER from tools in accessories menu and defragment your phone’s memory card / phone memory
3. It will take hours to defragment. So its advisable to do it in the night.
4. After its completed, now try transfer data into your phone. It will surely get transferred.
I have tried this with my Sony Ericsson K550i which is having 2GB memory card.
