Gran turismo 4 random crash and cant load save state.

[StriFe]

And to make sure also it is recommended to not install the emulator on the windows drive, if you have a 2nd harddrive or a 2nd partition put PCSX2 on that, it might help with some saving issues aswell.

So i had a random crash again, it happens from time to time, it's not a big deal but sometimes this happens, it's like my memory card got corrupted.
And it says Status of the memory card changed, and when i pick yes it tells me a different memory card has been inserted, insert a correct one.
So i can't save my progress, i can't change cars i can't do anything expect create a new game data, so that means all of my cars in my garage will be deleted except the one im currently in.
How to deal with this issue?

How to deal with this issue?

you can't

as I told you :

Then be prepared to face problems, cause save states aren't as reliable as memcards.

And they aren't cross-version compatibles either.

But it's your choice

you should first have begun your game using memcard, then using savestates from time to time.

But completely relying on them is a bad idea

Eh.....
So how do i start with a mem card ?

just like you would save on your PS2 console...

I have faced a similar issue once when I was playing this game. The only choice you have is to create a new save and wipe out your garage, except for the car you are in. Just asking, what's your game percentage and what were you able to do (obtain licenses, competed in a Special Condition Event, Driving Missions, etc.)? One more thing, be sure to disable autosave in settings under Misc., always works for me. Like others said on this thread, make a savestate only after you saved the game and restore it as needed before saving the game again in a memcard.
Edit: I saw you have a Jaguar XJ220 LM Race Car. 
I feel you. You are lucky that you made it passed the European Event. I was at around 96.5% when the same thing happened to me a second time and I had to restart from square one. At that point, I just deleted my savegame and started all over since it was pointless.
