Make sure the card is a microSD card, not a microSDHC card. The e250 only works with microSD cards, 2GB and smaller.
SOURCE: sansa e250 using micro sd card
change the mode of the player to MSC and connected the player to the computer, this will help detect the microsd as a removable disc drive.Transferring songs to the card is via drag and drop or copy and paste.
SOURCE: 4GB micro sd card.
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.
SOURCE: sansa mp3 player could not detect micro sd add on card
Ok so as was mentioned its a SDHC card. and a v1 player won't play it.
you have a "v1" is your firmware starts with 01.xx.xx.xxx etc
to fix this you can "rockbox" your e260 (www.rockbox.org)
it makes the player much much better imo as well as allow it to read 8 gb sd cards.
though i have to put it in my card reader to add files not sure why but my player does read and recognize the files so thats a plus.
SOURCE: sansa e250...computer will not detect
If you are using a USB connector [that connects extra ports to your computer] it sometimes doesnt work... so if possible hook the USB sansa cable to the main ports in the back of the server. It might also work to hook it in, and then go to 'My Computer' and see if it shows up there. Good Luck =]

Turn the player off before you plug it in and if it doesn't find it then turn it on while plug in.

when I place the card in the adaptor where do I put the adaptor
Don't put the card into the adapter. Put the microSD card directly into the Sansa. The adapter is needed only when using a microSD card in a device intended to take an SD card.
it still won't recogize it
Make sure your music is in a folder named "MUSIC". The e250 only looks there and will not recognize photos or videos on the microSD. Also, could you confirm that your card is 2GB or smaller?
still the same
