Guest liht Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 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! :(WindowsXP_KB923293_v4_x86_ENU.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mmmaiki Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 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 got a 4GB MicroSDHC card for my Shadow/Juno.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 $21+ including s&h. Bloomin heck! I think I paid about a fiver (£5 = approx $10) when I first found this pronlem wien 4Gb SD cards came out - I certainly wouldn't pay that much for a card reader.

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. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
