[Dtb-talk] PlexTalk formatting SD Card?

[Dale Leavens]

Hi Mike,

I wonder if it is something to do with 32 GIG cards!

I just bought a class 10 card but when I try writing to it with my computer 
in a USB card read/writer the operation fails. One of two things seem to 
happen, either I get the disconnect sound and the card and reader are 
announced as unrecognized or the message that the source file isn't there 
and that I should specify the path and filename. This is happening on two 
computers, one running XP Home the other Vista.

This technology is certainly immature.

Dale Leavens.
