Memeory Card Installation

When I insert a 2gb Skandisk Memory card into the expansio slot it does not seem to be recognised by the device.
I have formatted the card on a PC but still have no success.

    Thanks very much for your help - It was the format standard which caused the problem. I can only guess that these cards come shipped formatted FAT32 because Re-formatting in FAT immediately cured the problem.



    There is no mention of this at all in the manual or on the i-MateClub site which surprised me because I surely cannot be the 1st person to experience this problem.



    Thanks again for your very swift response

There are several possible issues here so I will cover them all...

The size of the card is not the issue as the model you have is known to work with 2gb and 4gb SDRAM Cards.

If the memory you have is SDHC rather than Regular SD that would be the problem. Your device will not work with SDHC memory.

What OS did you use when you reformatted the card? The reason that I ask is that the standard format for that device is supposed to be FAT, not FAT32 or NTFS. If you formatted it in FAT32 or NTFS it will work fine on your computer but not on the phone.

Try reformatting the card using the FAT system.

Difficulty formatting new memory card for a Kodak Easy Share DX7440

The DX7440 works with MMC and SD cards, which max out at 2GB. While your 4GB SDHC card fits into the slot, it is electronically incompatible and will not work with this camera. You need to stay with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Dont no how to get my photos from card reader too my laptop

An USB memeory card reader should have several slots to insert the various memory cards.
You insert the memory card into the correct slot on the card reader and then connect the CARD reader with the USB cable into the USB port on your computer.
The computer will see this as an external storage device, you can then copy the photos off the memory card into your computer.

PNY 2GB cell phone memory card does not seem to fit into the slot in my LG phone

Have you tried to insert it the upside down? Try it. You may be inserting it the other way round. So try both ways and one of them is bound to work. LG can not make such a mistake as to make the slot different for the card.

External memory - sd card recognition on pc??

if it doesn't even appear on windows explorer either the sd card, usb link or iriver is defective. if all else fails try getting a memory card reader. this allows you to store files on the card through the computer and still be able to insert the card as external storage on the iriver x20. the only trouble with that is that its hard to get the card in and out of the iriver
