You need to format the internal memory to completely erase it before your memory card can be recognized.

#1
Insert your memory card into your computer's reader if you have one. If not, you can purchase a multi-format USB Memory Card reader from Amazon.com or Buy.com
#2
Open up 'My Computer'. You should see it under the list of available drives.
#3
Check its contents first to make sure that you have the right drive.
#4
In 'My Computer', right-click on the drive and choose 'Format'.
#5
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.
#6
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.

Sansa San disk 250 2GB doesn't charge via computer but change the AAA battery in the back.

up to 2gb sd cards are sd format 4gb are sdhc format . you camera will not write to sdhc and it is not a good idea to put in your camera .

hi i personly owned your mp3 player a little while back and i found out that san disk guarantees it products for at least a year

you need to verify first the capacity of your san disk.a movie is usually 750 mb in avi format.
if your san disk has the capacity just save the downoaded file on a folder in your computer first.
when finished download just copy and paste in the sandisk (removable disk) directory.

Hi. Seems like your M250 is experiencing some system errors that prevents it from either powering up or booting up completely. To resolve the temporary power loss (not powering up even after changing batteries), try this: 1. Remove the battery 2. Press and hold the "Menu" button for 30 seconds. This is to completely discharge the player 3. Insert a brand new battery and try to power it on If this procedure still does not revive the player, try this to format the player and upgrade its firmware: 1. Enable the "Hold" switch on the side of the M250. You would know the "Hold" switch is enabled when the "orange-colored" surface is showing 2. Plug the player in to the PC. (The minimum operating system requirement for the M250 is Windows XP and above). The M250 should be recognized as a "Removable Disk" when browsed in Windows Explorer 3. Right-click on that drive letter corresponding to the M250 and select "Format". 4. Follow the on-screen prompts to format the player 5. Unplug the M250 from your computer, then disable the "Hold" switch. Then try powering it on. 6. To upgrade the firmware of your M250, again enable the "Hold" switch and plug it in to your PC. 7. If you have internet access, then use this link to download the "Firmware Updater" from the Sandisk website: http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1376 Save this to your desktop and double-click on it to run the updater program. Follow the on-screen prompts. I hope this helps. The M250 is a great player. Syd :)
