8GB Card Not Recognized in Computer

---

Greets,

I went to my local Verizon store and picked up an 8GB Sandisk MicroSD Card.

The card is recognized by the phone as having 7.7GB free, but when I plug it into my Belkin 15-in-1 reader (via an adapter) to load it up, the Belkin/Computer doesn't see it.

This may be because its SDHC but I can't find ANYTHING out there on this.

Any ideas?

Anyone have a reader they use which has worked with the 8GB SDCH MicroSD in adapter?

Thanks!

I do not own a SDHC card (yet) but I'm pretty sure that the problem is due to your belkin not supporting SDHC.

See the review at the bottom of this page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-15-.../dp/B000CDITCQ

Yeah its that 15 and 1 thingy. I bought a 4GB Micro SD card through amazon last week and it came with this.

That should be able to read a 8GB sd card also.

No good ... but all is well

The 15-in-1 doesn't even flash when the card is put in (but flashes fine with my old 512MB).

No biggie - I copied the 512MB to the hard drive, and used EXPLORE in ActiveSync to fill the 8GB (which is now down to 5.3 ... tee hee).

Thanks

By reading this thread am I right in understanding that the TyTNII CAN read SDHC? I couldn't find any reference to SDHC in the manual so I thought 2Gb was my limit!

Yes...the TYTNII accepts SDHC and the Sandisk 8GB card works flawlessly in the device.

it will state SDHC or version 2.0 compliant.

Hotfix for Windows XP that adds support for SDHC cards that have a capacity of more than 4 GB

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428

EDIT: It appears MSFT has hidden this hotfix from the public. (Thanks, guys.) Here's some details:
http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/21...d-card-reader/

EDIT2: And for Windows XP English users: http://thehotfixshare.net/board/inde...&showfile=1079

EDIT3: For whatever reason, this hotfix has no impact on my inability to read the card via my laptop's built-in card reader. I have a Fujitsu Lifebook Tablet. I have yet to look for drivers on the Fujitsu side.

The drive iteself has to be SDHC compliant, you can load WinXP driers all day and it will never read the card because the drive built into your tablet (or the 15-in-1 as mentioned above) is not SDHC compliant. Just like when they came out with SDIO for mobile devices, you had to had a SD drive in your mobile that was SDIO complaint, if not, you can't use SDIO.

Best bet is to buy the SDHC reader on amazon as mentioned above. Also, this is why all new SDHC cards (by Sandisk) are being sold with card readers.

Then why, as previous posters have stated, are non SDHC complaint drives able to be upgraded? AFAIK, the only reason why SDHC would NOT be supported is because it uses different memory calls. I assume that a new driver would be all that's needed. I don't see why it would be a hardware issue.
