SanDisk 2GB SD Card

[kiepie]

Hi all,

Just bought a 2GIG SD Card and the camera tells me that it is full, when I try to format it gives me an error.

Any idea?

Please.

Can I return an the card? Is here a office of SanDisk in JHB? Or a contact number?

Have you tried formatting it through a cardreader in Windows Explorer?

 

[kiepie]

I have read that somewhere, but I don't have a card reader.

Anyone, I don't want to return it on Monday and then it is not possible. But surely they will give me a refund?

Stupid question maybe, but have you checked to see if it's not write protected?
I get that error if i forget to throw that little slide from lock to unlock.

Gru, it doesn't look like there is something like that on this camera

not on the camera, on the SD card itself
Mine has a lil write protect slider, like a stiffie disk on it

That would be my suggestion too ...

Damn it is unlocked, still the same problem...

It might be interesting to see if someone else can format it in a different device - either way it sounds like it might well be defective and if memory serves from my new sandisk documentation they are guaranteed for life.

can't your camera format it?

Have a look at the first post - apparently not.

ahhh.. my bad.. now i have to contribute...

use the cable that came with the camera to attach camera to your pc...
then format using pc

When the window pops up, it only shows me the internal memory.

UPDATE FOR ANYONE DOING A SEARCH - The memory card was too big for the camera!
1GIG works fine!
