Unable to format kodak 8gb sd hc card on either CX7430

Hello.

This particular camera only allows SD cards up to 2gb. SDHC or otherwise cards with 4gb or up will not be recognized.

As far as your computer being unable to format it, make sure your card reader is capable of operating with 8gb cards. Sometimes older card readers require firmware upgrade from their manufacturer. Please make sure your card reader is capable of operating/formatting other 8gb cards, to discard yours as faulty.

Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.

Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.

In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.

Leave all the options as they are and click on 'Start'. This is a non-reversible process so make sure this is what you truly wanted to do in the first place.

Once the process is completed, take the memory card out and insert it into your Digital Camera or any other device. Try to browse to it to make sure it works fine now.
