I have just purchased a Canon digitalcamera. I have an 8GB HP SD

Capacity memory card that I have used but with some problems. Like
the 32MB card that came with the camera, the 8 GB memory card is
formatted in RAW.

What's RAW? SDHC is FAT32.
RAW, as I understand it, is the format for camera images (raw image
data). The SD/MMC designation is the designation of the SD/MMC socket
and it is how the socket/"drive" shows up in Explorer.

The RAW designation in disk manager and error messages means the boot
sector is not FAT or NTFS.

OK, then, so is there any way I can format the card so that it will be
read? The camera does a "low level format" on the card, which then,
when placed in a USB holder, is read as RAW format 7.6GB (and the files
can be accessed), but when placed in the SD/MMC slot, reads "0 bytes".
As noted above, a 32MB SD card is read properly and Explorer shows the
proper file folders.

So, is what is being said that I can only use a 2GB SD card if I want it
to be read in the SD/MMC slot of my laptop?
