My Built in SD Card Reader Finally works with my 4 gig Card

[MFB]

I have a Treo 650 with the Fat 32 driver. Its been a pain using the Treo as card reader for the 4 gig card (Transcend 150x). I've googled for info on how to make my Texas PCIxx20 driver work with the 4 gig. Unfortunately solutions require a registry edit that didnt totally worked for as it should. Most of the time, it didnt solve the problem for those who attempted the workaround. After 2 days thinking I should have bought 2 2 gig sd cards instead, its finally working!

My notebook is an hp nx5000 with a built in sd card reader.

*Current solution from 700M forum

Dell posted a driver update which provides support for high capacity SD Cards. Here is the link, http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=186169

I found this thread on google after my new 2gb Sandisk SD plus USB card couldn't be read from the SD card slot, even after installing the newest drivers from the HP site for my pcixx20 built in reader.

thanks for this great tip!! reading my 2gb Sandisk SD plus USB card now works!!


this works on my pcixx20 card reader. on my hp presario v1024ap notebook

something to add.. to simplify it.. (at least for me)

no need any uninstaller..

just go to control panel>system>hardware tab> device manager and uninstall the card reader there..

Then after downloading the new HP xx21 driver, run the new SP33416.exe.

click on device manager page, action> scan for new hardware, and select the C:\SWSetup\SP33416\Base\program files\Texas Instruments Inc\TIPCI and choose tifm21

The rest, as per your instruction.

Thanks again.. for your help..

I think you gotta have the same TI PCIxx20 and your comp may have to be a HP comp to work.. Mebbe your Vaio site has a similar type of upgrade?

HP is notorious to only make their service packs work exclusively on HP computers.

You can also try to get the new driver for your texas instruments card reader from the Texas instruments site directly.

After installing the fat 32 driver I can't record video directly to my 4gb sd. Do you need to have the card filled with 2gb before you can do this? Thanks

[trool]

yes your 4GB card need 2GB of stock on it before recording to SD card

I have wasted about two days now trying to solve this exact same issue. I got it off ebay and im regretting it. Firstly where does one find the driver and then how on earth do you install it?? thanks..

I must say that I have tried following the instructions that have ben kindly posted above and again they aren't working for me, I have come to the conclusion that they are specific instructions and even if yours is only slightly different they may not work.

But thanks guys for posting this i'm just going to keep tweaking it a bit and hopefully get it working for mine
