Do SD/MMC memory slots need driver updates to read SDHC memory cards?

I have just purchased a Canon digitalcamera. I have an 8GB HP SD
High 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.
When I remove the 8 GB SDHC card from the camera and put it into my
3 year old laptop, the card is recognized in but not any files on
the disk. In Explorer there is a Removable SD/MMC drive
assignment, but when I click on the drive, I receive a message that
the drive is not accessible and that the network resource type is
not correct. When I check Properties, it shows 0 bytes!! Yet,
when I put the card in a USB receiver and look at it in Explorer,
then the card is recognized as 8 GB and the picture files are
shown, as well as the appropriate directories..! I am trying to
figure if it is an issue with the operating system, the SD HC
memory card, or the computer SD/MMC slot. Does anyone have any info?
Thats a very common result when the laptop card reader
cant handle cards bigger than it was designed to handle.
Hmmmm.... So how does one determine how large a card an internal card reader can read?
The only real way is to try them and see.
