I added a 2gb mirco SD card to my Sansa e270 6.0gb player, but the memory is still only showing 10mb of the original 6.0 gb available for use. How do I get the Sansa to recognize and use the 2 gb mirco SD card?

You didn't buy a microSD card at all, you bought a microSDXC card.

The Eclipse 180 works with microSD cards (2GB or smaller) and microSDHC cards (32GB or smaller). It does not work with microSDXC cards.

Hello,

For the Sansa Fuze there's a manual available in pdf format on the Sandisk support site:
http://mp3support.sandisk.com/sansa/UserManual/FUZE/fuze_userguide_en.pdf
Save this file to a location on your computer for later use.

When you explore "My Computer" the micro SD card with x GB memory, should be available as an extra external drive.
This drive will show up as an extra drive letter with a total capacity of x GB .

Hi Cathi!

Few things you need to know about Sansa Shaker and the SD card:

1. The Sansa Shaker DOES NOT support SDHC memory cards. Only regular SD cards are supported.
2. Maximum capacity for supported SD cards - 2GB!
3. Any SD card which doesn't meet the requirement above might cause the problem you encounter. REPLACE the card with a supported one - SD card with up to 2GB in capacity.
   
4. No software/data is stored or needed to be on the memory card - apart from your music files.
5. MP3 file type is fully supported by Sansa Shaker.

Regards,
Pelu.

Sansa C240 can only read SD cards that are NOT SDHC - that means it can only read up to a 2gb Micros SD card.

make sure the card is 2gb if it is just try dragging music in too the folders, you might have to format the card first

I read somewhere that a 4 GB Micro SD card is the largest you can put in the SanDisk Sansa E260 expansion slot. It's maximum capacity is 8 GB, with internal + external memory put together. This is from what I've read. Hope this helps.

Check the Sansa tutorials at http://www.sandisk.com/Retail/Default.aspx?CatID=1468
to make sure you have followed all the steps first.

In my experience, every mp3 player/photo frame/etc with a card reader has a MAXIMUM memory limit for the type of card that it can read. It is possible that the Sansa player can only read 2GB Micro SD cards or smaller - and thisi nformation may not have been available when they printed the manual. If you have followed all instructions, and it still will not read the card, try switching to a 2GB Micro SD card.

The memory stick probably is not the right type. The Sansa only takes SD Micro chips. However, IIRC Micro only goes up to 2GB. So, if you have a 4GB chip is must be a SD HC (High Capacity). Unfortunately, these do not work in the Sansa.

According to what I've read, you can double the original memory, but no more than that, so the max you can have on a Sansa e250 would be 4 GB (2GB internal memory and 2GB external memory). I also read that the micro SD cards holds
music only-no video.
