Hi all,

My Toshiba Satellite P20 notebook won't accept SD memory cards.

When I insert my SD card I am told "the disk in drive F is not formatted" (even
though it was formatted on my digital camera when it was purchased). When I click "yes" to format it I am told "the disk in drive F cannot be formatted".

When I run Toshiba SD card format through Toshiba SD card utilities via the
"start" menu I am told "Unexpected Error! Error Code = 0*0340FF00"

I am confident that my SD card is not corrupted as I can send data to my
P20 from my digital camera via a USB connection. However I would
prefer to do this using the SD memory facility.

Thanks in advance to any replies and/or advice.
 
I've had some card readers that won't read certain cards... Honestly, I'm not totally sure what the problem is yet... I think it has something to do with how the card was formatted, but I havn't done too much research. I just know my internal card reader on my lappy now won't read my 256MB Panasonic card. However, my external reader, camera, and printer/card reader all will... This was after a format using my camera(card became corrupt)

All I can suggest would be to try and format using your PC and see if you can use the card them. If it works, see if it'll work in the camera(or whatever you're using)
 
Thanks for the reply.

That sounds similar to my situation. My dig camera accepts the card and I can send photos to my lappy via USB but it just won't read the SD card. I've tried 2 different cards and had the same problem. Maybe I'll call Toshiba support and see what they say.
