iv got a nokia 6255 and it came with a 512mb mmc. and when i put music on, it doesnt recognise it on the phone. it works fine with the 32mb mmc. i put the misic on by putting the card strait into my computer slot. does anyone know what to do?

try reformatting the card as fat. Right click on the card icon in my computer. And do a full format

Hi

If the phone is under warranty, send it to Telegistics. I came accross this not so long ago, and it was accepted as an OBF, but then it was new, they may choose to repair your phone.

Regards

we appear to be in a loop :-)

take the card to someone else, who has a computer that knows how to make the old fat16 filesystem.
