Replacement Droid2 not recognizing SD card

[justgot1]

My son received a replacement Droid2 Global yesterday (charging port in the old one quit working).  The problem is that the phone doesn't recognize the SD card.  We put the one from his old phone in there as well as the new one that came with the replacement phone.  The phone doesn't recognize that a card is mounted.  The card was working fine in his old phone just minutes before.

Has this happened to anyone else?  Suggestions appreciated.

I also wanted to list some steps that may guide you in the right direction regarding the SD card. First, always make sure the card is inserted correctly. Secondly, make sure the information was save correctly on the card. Lastly, in some cases when transferring one SD card from a different p hone to a new phone the card may need to be reformatted.
