I'm having similar problems with a 512mb Kingston SD card I got off of eBay. My card reader hooked up to my PC takes a long time to recognize it. Once it does I try to format it, but it says it can't complete(formatting). When I put it into my X3i, it said it couldn't format it as well. So I had a friend use his Tungsten T3 and it formatted it with no problem. Now I'm able to use it... only on my X3i. My computer still has the same problem.

I'm beginning to think... is it my card reader? Will it not handle a card of that size(512mb)???

I am able to use it in my X3i as a hard drive. But I really wanted to use it for file storage of files(like MP3's) so I can play it on my X3i.

Maybe it's a faulty SD card?? I contacted Kingston and they told me to get an RMA number and return it. But I'm having second thoughts. I like the idea of having this much space as a hard drive on my X3i.

Has anyone else had similar problems?? With SD cards this size?? Or Kingston cards??

btw.. I'm using Windows XP, and a usb card reader(not sure of the manufacturer).
