Problems with Micro SD on Live Walkman

I have some problems with the memory card. I have a 2gb card and when it's empty, the phone shows that it has free memory in it. Then, I connect the phone with my computer and I put some stuff on the card. When I open it on the phone, it says: Memory card not available free. Then I put it back on the computer and it shows that it needs to be formated. I format it, and put stuff on it again. When I open it again on the phone, it says unavailable. And then it all repeats. I tried it with another memory card, it does the same. What's the problem?

If the phone doesn't even display a SD card here you should start by trying with a different card to ensure the SD card reader is not broken.

Borrow a card from someone and see if it works or not.

I tried with a 128MB card and it worked, but it didn't work with any of the 2GB cards I tried.

are the 2GB the same brand as the other card? it might be a compatibility issue. do the cards work with other phones?

One of the 2GB cards is the same, and the other one isn't. One of them worked on another phone, the other one didn't. It's probably something with my phone or my computer, so I'll try changing the phone software and see what happens because I brought it to a few engineers and none of them could fix it and I don't have another solution.
