My computer is not recognizing the new Lexar SD 4GB memory card I just bought for my camera. My laptop is not that old, but when I go to the F drive it doesn't recognize that anything is there.

Sad to say, you may have to buy another brand SD card, my camera can't recognize Kingston 8 GB card but but recognize Lexar 8 GB card. Good luck.

Are your computer's card reader and camera compatible with SDHC cards or only with SD cards? While SDHC cards will fit into SD devices, they are electronically incompatible and will not work in devices not designed for SDHC cards.

The NV10 will not accept SDHC type memory cards. The largest card you will find it takes is a 2GB card of the SD type (not SDHC). The camera is not SDHC compliant, unfortunately. If you can return the 4GB Lexar, swap it for a 2GB of the non-SDHC variety. If this answers your question fully, please rate the solution accordingly. Thanks

Format the card in the camera to initialize it.

I suggest formatting the card using the utility in the camera. This will delete any data that is currently on the card.

Hello,

Certain cameras will not recognize an SD card because it is SDHC. The format was created after the camera. Camera vendors do issue firmeware updates.

Hope it helps.

Use the camera to format the SD card not your computer. There should be a menu option to format it.

Hi,

Tell me if it recognizes the USB drive ?
If it does, Try plugging card reader and see if that helps !!

Please let me know the status.

Thanks

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.
