Hi,

I am trying to connect a 4GB SD (Hewlett Packard brand) in a multi-card
reader to a USB port on my Win XP SP3 computer. The computer doesn't
recognize either the SD, nor any of the "drives" usually displayed for this
multi-card reader. In fact, the computer would not start properly with the
card reader/4 GB card connected.

I believe the computer has USB 1 ports, and the card reader is certified for
USB2, and has worked fine with xD, SD and CF cards of 2 GB and smaller.
Everything works fine if I insert a 2GB card in the same slot of card
reader.

Reading past messages about this problem, I saw that it was supposed to
solved with SP3.

Is there anything else I am supposed to do to get Win XP SP3 to recognize a
4 GB card, such as install driver or new dll, or change a BIOS setting? Or
is it necessary to buy a new card reader that may have updated specs?

Thank you.

I won't say it will work but look at this. I bought a 4 gig chip and
it would not work on my built in reader. Found this fix (which is in
SP3 by the way).

You have to request it from MS, but that's just a click of the link.
