G1 16gb micro sdhc card not read on my pc

I use a SD/MicroSD to USB 2.0 adapter made by SoCal Trade, which came with my 64GB card when I bought it (e.g. amazon.com/dp/B00JAO8MMU/ ), but there are many others.

NB Put the MicroSDHC card in the adapter and THEN plug it into a USB port... i.e. do not plug the SD/SDHC or MicroSDHC/SDXC card into the adapter while the adapter is under power by the USB port. Hot plugging can damage SD/Micro/SDHC/SDXC cards, in my experience.


Another way is to attach the device to a computer with a USB adapter cord (be sure the device is 'unlocked' or the card may not be accessible).

Is it an SD card or a microSD card? If it's a 4GB (or larger) card then it's neither, but instead an SDHC or a microSDHC.

If the card is an SDHC/microSDHC then your card reader may be only SD-compatible. If this is the case then you can buy an SDHC-compatible card reader and use that. Alternatively, if you want to use this card with some other device, such as a camera or a phone, format the card in that device instead of in your computer.

Sorry. You can't. But you can usually recover use of the card by inserting it into an external SDHC card reader (using a suitable micro SDHC to SDHC adapter) and then refomatting the card. You may need to use the host computer to go into the cards properties first to uncheck the "read only" status.

This makes all data stored on the card overwriteable as if it's no longer there, but there is plenty of free/cheap data recovery software which can recover data from reformatted memory cards as long as the card has not been used after formatting.

Hello, it depends how old your equipment is as SD cards and SDHC are not necessarily compatible, so if your pc and printer were designed in pre-SDHC days, then you probably wont get any success trying to reading your card.
SD cards only support 2gb max, and in order to support larger capacity for the same style card, the mapping of SDHC cards is totally different, so SD-supported equipment can't 'understand' the new mapping circuitry.
There's some interesting reading in Wikipedia which might clarify things better than my explanation.
Of course, this might not be the solution, but it's worth trying out an SD card if you have one, but I've noticed that SDHC cards are being advertised as SD cards; the only clue that they're actually SDHC is in the capacity, ie, >2gb.

Your memory card reader lacks SDHC compatibility. You must either update your pc card reader to one which is compliant with SDHC or use a cheap external card reader to do the job.

SD and SDHC cards look the same and fit the same slots, but they have significant technical differences which older readers cannot handle.

try formatting ur card with the following steps:
right click om my comp then click on manage then disk menagement and right click on ur card then format it will forcely format ur card. gud luck....

is this a SDHC or some other type of high speed card ?

Does your SD reader accepts HC model ?

Have you tried a another SD Card ?

Your 8GB card is considered "high capacity". You will need an SDHC USB card reader to read it.

I'm having the same problem with a Transcend 4GB microSDHC card / microSD adapter. I have also found it probably has something to do with the card reader...either the card reader is an SD card reader trying to read an SDHC card OR the card reader is not able to read high-gigabyte SD cards (over 1 GB in some cases).

few computers nowadays read SDHC out of the box. you will need to purchase a SDHC reader that plugs into your USB port.
