HELP SD card problems?
I'm away from home for the weekend and want to load some shots onto the computer but I didnt bring any cables. So I'm trying to just load the SD card in the computer but none of the computers will read it. It wont even on my computer, but I never really cared because I just use the cable. Ideas? Even have the pentax softare loaded and still wont work.

hi there im a pc engineer so I will ask you first...
A) what card is it? (brand) B) is it SDHC? C)operating system on the pc in question? this happened on my samsung with a Kingstone card, put in a unbranded card and no problem, sometimes its the way in which the arcitecture of the read relays data to the computer

A lot of older built in card readers don't like the SDHC cards, I have to use the cable on my PC but a new laptop reads the SDHC cards just fine.

You have two issues: you need a card reader that will read HC cards, and you need the latest XP service pack to read the card reader.

I have a 2gb card which my laptop reader won't read in XP but is read perfectly well when I boot into Linux Ubuntu. Linux will read and write to XP file formats, so I can just open up my XP partitions and drag and drop the photos back into Windows. Tedious, but it works. You might want to carry a live distribution of Linux with you on a CD or USB stick for those emergencies.
