Has anyone else had problems with 1Gb SD Cards i
Has anyone else had problems with 1Gb SD Cards in the SD slot? I recently bought a 1Gb card for my Pocket PC, but inserting it into the M200 slot gives errors- either "Please Insert Disk into removable drive" or "The disk in Drive D is not formatted".
The card works fine in the PPC, and also in the M200 via an external USB card reader. The M200 SD card drivers are up to date. Trying to use the Toshiba SD Format utility also gives an error.
My other cards (256Mb) work fine, so is this an incompatibility with 1Gb cards?
Oops! Nevermind.
The bios info says it will boot up to 512MB not 1 GB. Are you running BIOS 1.60? Maybe if you write Toshiba support they'll include 1 GB support in another BIOS update later? YOu can only try.
forgot the link in the original post ;p

I just purchased a 1GB Lexar SD card and is shows up fine using the internal SD slot on my M200. Although it came formatted with FAT, I used the regular windows format to FAT32 after which 973MB is available.

I've also had success with the Lexar 1GB 32x card. My SanDisk 1GB, however, isn't reliable. I purchased a PCMCIA 4-in-1 reader to use at work and tested it against both cards. The SanDisk failed on both a Dell and the Toshiba when inserted into the reader. The Lexar worked fine. Now that I've some reasonable stats, I'll probably report the issue to SanDisk and see if they'll replace the card.
When my SanDisk Ultra II 256MB started behaving wierdly on multiple (but not all devies), the replacement worked fine.
I have a Sandisk 1GB SD card and the most current BIOS and have never had a problem using the SD card with my M200. I can even boot from it.
