I got a 4GB MicroSDHC card for my Shadow/Juno. To my surprise, windows XP wouldn't even see the card in any of my readers.
Well HOORAY GOOGLE. There is a hotfix for windows for this exact problem. I figured some people may be getting these cards and trying to read them in windows...so here's some help. Here is the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428 Attached is the file (exe is in zip folder). It'll require a reboot. Have fun! Now you can quickly load tons of music on your card!

Well, it isn't just a matter of software, but hardware. Only newer card readers support SDHC, older ones don't. For instance (I haven't yet bought my Shadow and SDHC card, but I will), I don;t think the built-in SD card slot on my laptop (2½ years old model) will support SDHC. I think I will have to get one of the new USB SDHC card readers (some of the cards come with one) to read and write to the cards from my laptop.

I tried the patches but Windows didn't accept them because my XP SP3 is newer than the patch. So.... I removed SP3 mainly because I never saw where it fixed any thing for me anyhow. Now the patches applied ok but I could still not read the SDHC. After much more digging, I finally came to realize that my reader is not HC compatable!!! It was sooooo simply. I am now waiting for the Kingston FCR-HS219/1 I ordered from Amazon. $21+ including s&h. Hope that helps someone else too. |

I have more uses than just reading microSDHC modules. That's not the only format it reads. I also use it to read my cameras (2 different) cards. I also have more that one computer, four, including a notebook. Thanks for your concern though.
