It cannot be formated It is recognized in my computer It used to work perfectly

The camera cannot recognize the card because IT HAS BEEN FORMATTED IN THE COMPUTER! Camera cards must be formatted in the camera.

Windows XP has limitations on recognising too large NTFS disks. One of the solutions would be to format the entire disk as FAT32 or make a partition and format that as FAT32.

It seems there is a filesystem issue with the card. Certain OSes like windows, linux, mac, windows mobile, etc. use different ways of storing info, so the Windows PC may not be recognizing it for that reason.

BUT, the safer and easier was to do this, so that you need not even remove the card from the phone is to connect the phone to your PC using a USB cable. Then it will be recognized and you can transfer back and forth easily.

The idea is to get the files safe on your computer first. THEN we can format the card which is fine because the files were copied to your computer. Once the formatting is done, you are free to move everything back and forth as you prefer.

OH, one last thing, all this mumbo jumbo can be ignored if you have bluetooth on your computer, you can just connect that way.

Try resetting it while it is connected. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you have not already tried, I would also try the other ports on the computer.

Are you running iTunes 8?

And what kind of computer do you have?

Hi sir

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.

The problem is that your trying to use a hard drive with an operating system that was installed on a different computer, there will be all kinds of problems with that. Format the drive and do a clean install of windows and that should fix your problem. Hope this helps

solved: after referring to the userguide, I found that I formated my drive with a OS format, which can not be recognized by VISTA >> formated to FAT32 and now it works... 

Your drive is most likely either secured or formatted for Mac. Try installing the Mac format driver on your Dell and see if it can recognize the drive afterward.

Download and install Macdisk from the below link and see if it works, let us know if it doesn't.

Did it work before?

If yes, then it died.

If no, then replace it.
