Thanks Cem. I've plugged it into the card reader and all I get is 'F:/ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of of an I/O device error'.

The card reader read my sat nav SD card the other night and I've just taken the new card out of the wrapper. Never mind, thanks anyway.

Sounds like your card reader can't talk to SDHC then Steve.
Can your sat nav see it at all?

Dont know. I thought the unit would just read the card, couldn't see any point in putting an empty one in :-/

I'm not gonna fubar the car's sat nav by messing around, she'd kill me.

Do I need an SD rather than an SDHC then? They're cheap as chips on amazon.

Your sat nav may be able to use em but your card reader obviously can't Steve so a basic SD card would be the easiest.
Alternatively if the sat nav can use SDHC you'll need a new card reader.

Thanks John, and Rob, and Cem. Whenever I get a new Sd card/disk etc, I always try to make a backup. I mean, I cant see an SD card lasting forever with the satnav in the car. Guess it's down to renault if it corrupts. Or a tomtom dealer or whatever.

Hey Ugly. .
1. Try talking to it as you are a total bore, in fact a Human Sleeping Tablet. . . It will work so it won't have to listen to ya.

2. Hit it with a Heavy Hammer (the heavier the better) it should work fine then.

Thought that would have gone years ago Albs. I was never actually arrested inside the place, usually straight after being ejected. ;D
