weird problem... -
yeah i have seen a similar problem before... basically the pc with windows is not as smart as machines running linux or different operating systems.. so you need to format it on a pc first.. The other machines should still be able to read it and the pc should be happy again. Hopefully

i had a similar prob, i turned out to be the card reader its self. the pc built in reader would not support hc cards. i bought one from POUND LAND that worked fine. only cost a quid.Comment
