4gb Sd Card Problems

[Viddy]

Im the proud new owner of a GP2X and im new to the forum, so first things first - HI TO ALL!!!

ok now to why i need help..... :blink:

I bought a 4GB SD card and the GP2X doesnt read it. My PC reads it fine but whenever its in the GP2X it acts as if theres nothing there. I have a old 128meg card which it reads fine so i know its not the machine. Ive been told by a techy mate that its eomething to do with the PC reading it through Wnidows and the GP2X using Linux. How do i config the SD card on my PC to get it to work???

Thanks to ANYONE that can give me a hand!

It's probably because it's a SDHC card - do a search for SDHC for the many threads about this issue

You should have found out that SDHC won't work on the GP2X firmware (yet) before you bought one.
However, you may want to check out this thread:

Also, the propably upcoming Open2x firmware will support SDHC cards (I think)
Anyway, welcome and enjoy your GP2X!

Or it might be a 4GB SD card that simply doesn't work with the gp2x firmware. It isn't supposed to support 4GB after all.

Why not? My regular 4GB SD works perfect. I know many people that use it.

There's multiple versions of 4GB cards, and it's doubtable that all will work. You may have just found one that doesn't.

I have Transcend 4GB card which works (non SDHC)

Then you have one that works. His obviously doesn't.
