5800 XpressMusic Mass Storage issue

I've been quite happily using my 5800 XpressMusic as an mp3 player by attaching it to my PC with the USB cable, copying over the songs/book, and then deleting them when done.  Suddenly, I'm no longer able to do this, and the contents of one of the folders on the phone seems to have become invisible. to the PC (Attempting to ls the directory gives an input/output error)  I've tried resetting to factory settings and also rebooting the machine in case udev or usbfs was to blame, but the problem persists.  Any thoughts?

Try to stick the memory card into the PC and scan for viruses, and check if the folders are in hidden mode. The phone itself may be unaffected by viruses but the memory card aint.

Re: 5800 XpressMusic Mass Storage issue

I too have had this problem but I thought I'd done something to the card when I took it out to transfer files to my (work) laptop. However, having seen the posts on here with similar problems I fear it may be a problem with the handset or perhaps really poor quality cards shipped with the phone from the factory. My card is corrupt to the point of being unreadable so I have a 2gig card in from my old N82 right now until I buy a nice big replacement. I do hope this isn't a problem with the phone as it will spoil what has been a really positive first month with my first non N series phone in a few years.
