Hi All,
I have just got a Sandisk ultra II 2 GB SD card for my digital camera. I have taken some pics & put the card in my card reader so I could access them via PC. XP told me the card was not formatted. So I tried to format but XP said it could not after a few minutes trying. I then removed card and put back in camera. Now the camera says 'card error' and will not do anything until i remove the card from it. Also if I put in in PC XP says it is now currupt.

Can anyone help?

I hope you didn't want those pics because it looks like you just trashed that card.

I have had this problem on my old PC and put it down to my Card Reader being crap. Try it in another computer with a different card reader and see if you can format it.

There might also be an option on your camera to format the card.

ok. I have managed to re format the card in the camera, So it now works. Trouble is when i insert it into the card reader XP says its not formatted.

Does this mean XP cany detect 2GB SD cards?

PS, this is a laptop with built in reader.
 
I had loads of trouble with a card reader (despite the fact it cost me a whopping £30 a few years ago), and just gave up using it and connected the camera to the pc using a usb cable and haven't had any problems since...also saves you the enormous hassle :p of removing the card from the camera
