650 see's sd card but readers wont?

[equlizer]

I bought this used from a local person here and everything seems to be peachy cept for the SD card in the unit i cannot read it outside the palm. I tried it on 3 different card readers and it says there is no card in the reader but when i put it back in the palm, everything is working.

Ill use that program to make the treo 650 a mass USB drive to see the contents then i can add/delete what i want.

Ill also put in an SD card from my mp3 player and the treo wont see it and cant do anything with it.

any explanations?

I don't think that the SD cards for the palms are the same size as the SD cards that you can use with your computers. I have never been able to get mine to be compatable. I could be wrong, but that's my experience.

On my old laptop, I thought I had the same problem. I bought a new 2 gig card. It worked fine in the palm, but wouldn't read in my laptop, my desktop, or my printer's card ports. Turns out, that none of them would read past a 512 meg card. Anything larger, it either wouldn't recognize them, or I would get an error telling me the card was corrupt. I bought an external card reader and no problems! You didn't say what size card you had in the Treo, but your post did make me remember about my snafus that I had when I bought the larger card . . .

How I actually solved the problem was I took the card to Circuit City where I purchased it and told a guy that I didn't think it was bad because it worked in my 650, and asked if I could plug it in a new computer. The new computer read it right away . . . I walked out with a $12 card reader . .

forgot to say it was the 1gig sandisk that came with it.
