Installed Vista yesterday, and the only thing I'm having trouble with is my
card reader.
It'll read all of my 128mb, 256mb, 512mb and 1gb SD cards no problem, but
won't read my 2gb card. Instead, it gives the message "you need to format
the disk in drive X: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
Now, if say yes, it brings up the "format disk" box, but shows the capacity
as being 969mb.
However, if I put the same card reader and the same cardback in my Windows
XP box, it reads it fine as being 2Gb.
Have also tried it with another card reader borrowed from a friend, with the
same result.
Any ideas? |

Hugh,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Just tried that this morning, got the latest drivers for my board from the
MSI website, but it hasn't made a difference.

i have the same problems, i believe it to be a windows driver problem.
both xp and vista refuse to read a 2gb sdcard via usb card reader but
the same hardware in Linux can read it perfectly.

Check the driver for the card reader. I had the same problem - couldn't
format an SD card > 1GB. My HP laptop had a 2001 vintage driver for the
reader. Once I updated the driver everything worked fine.

I'm having the same problem with my 1GB SD card. I was taking
pictures, then one day when I put the card in the card reader, it
died. One of the pics looked corrupted and the whole card died within
seconds. The card is unreadable on my card reader, my camera, and my
printer card reader. >> Stay informed about: Card Reader won't read 2Gb SD card |

Btw, What is the brand and model of your card reader? I'm using an
IOGear GUH284R. >> Stay informed about: Card Reader won't read 2Gb SD card |

Has anyone found a solution to getting the 2 or 4 Gb cards to be recognised
in VISTA yet?. I have a Lexar USB 2.0 multicard reader an I get the same
problems of you must format before use and only 1Gb available, however in XP
no problem
Thanks

Were you using an external USB card reader in either or both systems?

I've got the same problem. Can't read 2GB SD cards, but I can read
lower capacity ones. Tried 3 different brands of SD cards (Kingston,
Sandisk regular and Sandisk Extreme III). Have 2 different card
readers. Everything works fine on my XP laptop. I believe this to be
a Vista driver issue. >> Stay informed about: Card Reader won't read 2Gb SD card |

Yeah, have an external card reader that works fine in my XP laptop.
It fails to work with Vista. It's a Lexar card reader, tried
different brands of SD cards too. Also have an internal card reader
that doesn't work.
I can read lower capacity cards just fine on Vista with both readers. >> Stay informed about: Card Reader won't read 2Gb SD card |
