A-Data SDHC card not being seen in XP

Hi,

I have 4 Gig A-Data SDHC card which works great in my Tilt, but when I insert it in the adapter into my XP machine, the PC does not see the card.

What can I do to XP to get it to see the 4 gig card?

Thanks in advance.
Alan.

More than likely you will need to get a USB SDHC-compliant card reader as the built-in SD reader in your computer (or the USB card reader you have) is not SDHC compliant. Get something like this one below from Sandisk that are SDHC-compliant.

I bought a SanDisk Ultra II SDHC 4GB w/MicroMate USB 2.0 Bundle for use with a digital camera. When I bought it the Micromate SDHC reader seemed like a nice to have add-on. However, since the 4GB SDHC card does not seem to be readable by my older SD readers, it became a must-have accessory. The SDHC card is recognized immediately when used with the bundled reader and file transfers are lightning fast. The SDHC card also slips into and out of the reader without any fuss.

I second the comment. I have an 8GB card and an older 2GB card. My reader would work with the 2GB but not see the 8GB at all. I bought a new reader on eBay that supports SDHC (SD High Capacity) cards and now all is well.

Thanks for your help.

I have a Dell PC and after an extensive search on the web I managed to find an update for their internal Card reader that came with the PC.

Now it works great.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Alan.
