Have you tried to format the card from your PC. If that doesn't work you might have a bad card. Sucks but it does happen sometimes.

Also, please remember that these portable handsets are usually not NTFS file format compatible. Be sure when you are formatting that the card is in FAT or FAT32 mode, with default block sizes and allocation.

Also, it does sound to me that your card is defective. I have never had to "format" any flash cards I have ever bought before using them, except a couple old CF cards for my SLR camera.

I got a sandisk 8gb microsdhc myself - and it works great...

(except when one morning I wake up and find out that all the data's gone, and had to recover it with GetDataBack)

I'm no SDHC expert (I've only had 1 for 2 weeks) but I ran into some problems myself...

1) If you're running Win XP on your desktop, you'll need to download the hotfix for SDHC support here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428) (I don't use Vista so I'm not sure if it supports SDHC natively)
2) The card reader I have connected to my PC wouldn't read SDHC cards but the USB reader that came with my SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC card does work. Make sure the adapter you're using to connect to the PC supports SDHC.
3) Sounds stupid but make sure you're pushing the card all the way into your phone. You should feel some spring pressure and then hear a 'click' as it locks into place. You push it in and it springs out to remove it. I have pretty big fingers and I didn't insert mine all the way the first time. I still have to use something small (the back end of the stylus) to fully insert my SDHC card.

---OR---

You may have a faulty card :(

Here is the WinXP SDHC Update if you don't want to d/l it from the MS Site.

I have a 8GB SDHC Sandisk. I formated as FAT32 winXP SP2 updated and it works perfect on my tytn II and as a pendrive (with the usb adapter included)

I have just copied all of the contents of my 4gb card onto a new 8gb card, no problems so far, but when I put it back into my Kaiser, the volume only shows as a 4 gb, with 1 gb free, which are he details of the old card, any help greatly appreciated


thanks
