I formatted my MicroSD card through my PC. After formatting it's not being detected on the phone. The phone says it is showing volume 0 and is asking me to insert a disk. What can I do?

I guess you have formatted it in NTFS mode, try selecting FAT32 when formatting again (if your PC still sees the card though)..

if the pc still detects your sd card then try HP format toolhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtmlor1) Launch Partition Wizard Home Editionhttp://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html2) Delete all partitions on sd card3) Create a primary FAT32 file type partition.

My quick thought on your problem is that you may have formatted your SD cardusing the wrong file format. I'm not sure what file system your phone uses butyou might try reformatting the card using a different file system.As an example you may have formatted your SD card using the NTFS file system and your phone may use the FAT file system.Not knowing what system your phone uses makes it hard to tell you what system to use. Your phone may have a proprietary file system and if that's the case you should have formatted the card from within the phone.If its anything like most cameras you should use the camera or phone to format your SD card.Hope this helps
