Got a Sandisk 32gb class 4 card, have had for awhile now. It is becoming annoying on a reboot. If the Droid accesses the card at startup, it will in about 10 secs,lock the phone up and reboot and it'll get into this reboot cycle until it stops accessing the sd card at startup (when the little SD card symbol in the taskbar at top isn't there.). If it's there,chances are I'm going through the reboot or freeze up. Short of putting the old 16 card back in, is there anything that can stop this stupid thing from rebooting OR trying to access the SD card at startup? It'll say 'preparing the SD card', when it does that,I know I'm screwed.

Finally figured it out. For those who are having similar problems,here's the solution: when the phone boots up,it checks the SD card and a small icon appears in the task bar. If that icon stays too long,the phone locks up and becomes unresponsive and then reboots. The problem lies in the initial formatting of the card itself. It was formatted in the phone,with Linux. Linux creates a boot directory that is too large for the phone to access in the span that is allowed in the system of the phone. The sector is too large,1.6mb or so,and takes too long to check so the program says 'this is taking too long' and freezes the phone. So the correction is reformatting the card under Windows,with a 16-32kb format size for sectors(not partitions;the smaller useable segments). Had to save card to my PC which took forever,then reformatted with 16kb size for the bytes or whatever it's called when formatting. Once that was done and after reloading the card, I rebooted and the icon showed up. It stayed for 5 secs or so,went off and wala! Fixed! Before whenever that icon showed up,it would freeze and reboot. Now it doesn't and can access it without it freaking.
