Mad as a Bat!

It just so happens that the spanking new 4GB SD memory card is acting up and wont be detected by any of my card readers. So, I had to call customer support and they said it might be a faulty card. The good thing is that they sent me a new one right away which probably will arrive tomorrow. But at the time I got my GP2X and memory card that wasn’t working I didn’t have the patience to wait for a new card to arrive, so I went to town and bought a 2GB one. It’s not as fast but at least it worked right away when I tried to use it.

Now after having done loads of research it just happens that I’m not the only one that is having this problem. 4GB cards are fairly new and uses a different file system than it previous brothers and sisters of 1GB and 2GB. Thus the older card readers wont be able to read them. I need a card reader that can handle Fat32. So most likely the card we thought was broken works perfectly fine and so I’ll end up with two 4 GB cards that I can’t use. UNTIL, I can find a card reader that can read them. So far I’ve bought 2 card readers at a total of 300 nok. I’ll end up at least getting another if I can find one that is compatible (praying that it will read my 4GB cards). I think it will be worth it in the end!
