Hi guys, I'm new to the board and I've been having problems with my SD card reading on my laptop. I have a Sony VAIO with an onboard SD card reader.

I have a Sandisk Micro SD with an SD adapter. It won't read on my laptop at all, it just tells me to insert a disk into that drive. So I WENT out and got myself an Optex SD card reader which plugs into my USB. Same thing.

Help!! what is the capacity of your SD card? anything over 4gb will only work with SD 2.0 card readers.Yeah, it's 4GB. So would I be better off just getting a USB wire for my phone? What is the difference between a 2.0 SD reader and whatever I have?Is this a high capacity card?

It will say SD HC or SOMETHING like that on itYep, it's SDHC.Your problem is that the card is newer TECHNOLOGY than your sd card reader.

the sd2.0 card reader has a 20mb/s read/writer that is what your SDHC card is formatted to.

You have an older SD reader which does not support that speed.

Seeing as tho it reads in your phone you can use that as the reader and plug it into your computer via usb or use bluetooth if you have a blue tooth reader in your computer.
If I got a card reader that could read HC would it then work in my computer? I guess there's no driver I can just DOWNLOAD? Nothing is ever simple, lol.Yeah, you'll have to get a reader that can support SDHC. There is no driver or software that will make your older, slower reader work any faster.I have a similiar problem. Our old USB Memorex card reader will not read newer SDHC cards in my wife's computer but will read and write them OK when plugged into mine. We both run XP on desktops. It is apparent something is not enabled on hers but we cannot FIGURE it out. The Memorex reads CF cards fine on both. Please start a new thread in the hardware section for your particular issue. Thanks.OK. I'm new to this but I think I just did. See "card reader works fine in one computer..."
