I/O Device error

Ellemaid

hi,

can someone please help me??

i bought a 1GB Kingston x133 memory card to put into my P350 PDA. however ive had few problems installoing the Tomtom software on the card. so i tried to put format the SD card using the slot on my laptop. however, i get "E: is not accessable due to a I/O device error". does anyone know what this means? i think my laptop isnt reconising the SD card.

ive tried formatting the Sd card, but windows will not format it. will not give me a reason for it either.

Does the card slot on the laptop work with other cards? If not have the drivers for the card slot been installed?

Can you format the card in the PDA?

hi,

i dont have any other SD cards to put into my laptop to see if my laptop suports SD cards. how can i do that?
i have never used an SD card on y laptop before. i just thought i had to put in the SD card and access it. but, do i have to have some kind of software to access it?

i dont know how to format the Sd card on the PDA. PDA, SD card and Tomtom software are all new. i am getting used to it.

ive tried using a different SD card. that works fine on my laptop and on my pda. it must be the memory card thats the problem. im going to try and a replacement. i hope they wornt refuse me because ive opened it.
