I have a built in SD Card reader. It Works fine with SD cards up to 1 Gig, But when I insert a 2 Gig card my notebook goes nuts.

Details: from device manager SD Card Resource = Toshiba SD Card Controller Type A

Memory Range FEE99E00 - FEE99FFF (with the Memory Icon Crossed out), This is the same with all cards,

Driver Version: 2.0.2.30210

Event Viewer: Error Properties
Type: Error ID: 7
Description:
The device, \Device\Harddisk1\D, has a bad block.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

Hey qhn & richk
Thanks for the Quick Reply.
I have already tried to re Format the 2 Gig SD card in my Laptop. It locks up.
I have a Card Reader (multi-USB device) and can see and use it on my laptop and my desktop box's and can read from my Pocket PC (iPAQ 5555), I just can't use any SD card above 1 Gig in my laptop SD Slot.

I've heard that some older laptops cannot read 2 gb cards. IIRC you can partition it into 2x 1gb partitions and it miht work. But like I said, I remember hearing something about this sometime ago, but I have nothing to back it with and may be completely wrong.

*edit: I just read the link in richk's post and it says the same thing (max is 1 gig for older laptops). I guess I wasn't toatlly talking out of my @$$. I think it should work if you use an external SD card reader on the laptop (i.e. instead of using hte internal SD card slot).

it is true to what richk & g00nter mentioned, i do agree to that also but, it was just a hearsay trick to make the card readable (if it works) cheers ...
