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? Thanks Ken K |

Thats a very common result when the laptop card reader cant handle cards bigger than it was designed to handle. |

So how does one determine how large a card an internal card reader can read? |

SD/MMC is not the same as SDHC, though an SDHC enabled device can work with SD/MMC, see your camera manual. Grant. -- http://bugsplatter.id.au |

The SD/MMC designation is the designation of the SD/MMC socket and it is how the socket/"drive" shows up in Explorer. So how does SDHC differ from SD? If there is a difference, then perhaps I can solve this by just purchasing an SD memory card of the same size, which would be fine with me. The Canon manual says I can use SD, SDHC cards, and MMC cards so that would imply that the problem is either in the limitations, if any, of my SD/MMC socket or in the OS. Does anyone know if there are new drivers needed to read/recognize an SDHC card in Windows XP? Here is what the manual says about memory: Thanks Ken K |

Does anyone know if there are new drivers needed to read/recognize an SDHC card in Windows XP? Here is what the manual says about memory: Thanks Ken K The maximum memory size for an SD card is 2GB. Anything over that requires an SDHC card. The cards are externally physically identical. SD cards are 16 bit FAT. That's why there's a 2GB limit. SDHC cards are FAT32. Camera RAW has nothing to do with file structure. It's a picture file format in which data is transferred directly from the camera's image sensor array to the storage card without any internal processing. To use the images you need a RAW converter to read the particular camera's RAW files. |

The only real way is to try them and see. OK. I was able to contact the retailer who sold me the laptop, who contacted the manufacturer, who said that the SD/MMC socket only handles SD memory cards, which is what was mentioned by Ian D, so I will order a 2GB card. Many thanks to all who participated. Ken K |
