Toshiba Reading 4GB Memory Stick DUO Card

by Jason Bean on July 20th, 2008

I’ve got a multi-card reader in my Toshiba Satellite laptop that has really come in handy. My installation with Windows XP has made managing data on these cards even easier.

I’ve run into some challenges lately thought that have become really irritating and I’m trying to figure out some solutions.

  • New SanDisk 4GB SD HC (High-capacity): I mistakenly purchased this card instead of the MiniSD card I actually needed. I was hoping I’d still be able to basically leave it in the card reader on my laptop and use it for some extra storage. No luck.
  • Lexar 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo: I got a new Sony digital camera for Christmas and got this large card to store plenty of photos. It came with a Memory Stick adapter, which fits my multi-card reader with no problems.

The problem is my computer doesn’t recognize the cards when I insert them into the multi-card reader. I would have thought a driver update would have been what I needed but nothing I’ve found seems to be working.

Anyone have an idea for me.
