The HP Photosmart M425 camera has problems reading certain SD cards. I have several 1GB SD cards that this camera wont recognize. These SD cards work in other cameras and other SD cards work in the M425 camera. It appears to be a compatibility issue specific to this camera. Formatting the SD card in a computer does not fix the problem. I suggest trying a different SD card from a different manufacturer.

You could try formatting it in My Computer on PC by right clicking on its icon to bring down the option, then format again in the camera to ensure compatibility

The M425 works with SD cards, not with SDHC cards. You need to use SD cards, 2GB and smaller.

Hello Mr rtautwein .
  • 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.

    Card has wrong format
    Not a solution, but after corresponding with HP customer service, they concluded that the problem with my M527 (see above) cannot be fixed. They offered to replace it with the same two-year old model for $99.99 which is much more than that model camera would be worth. I declined their offer.

    Card Format
    the card may have become corrupt, try carefully cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser and try again,or try formatting it using a card reader, but you may have to replace the card.
