please help have a Sandisk 2gb SD memory card that I am using with a camera (fuji finepix z20fd). I have formatted the card directly from the camera. The card works fine in the camera, I can take and save pics on it. However, when I put the card into a card reader and plug it it to my computer, I get the message that the card is not formatted and asks whether I want to format it. If I choose the format option, at the end it gives me the 'unable to format' message. What can I do to make the card readable on my Windows XP computer? I also have a 32 MB card that came with the camera, and that works fine on both the camera and on my card reader and computer. The problem is with the 2gb card. Any help appreciated.
