d.b. muir Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 My friend has a G3. With an older CF card, the computer recognizes and reads the card when used in a PCMIA (?) card on his desktop. With a newer CF, it doesn't recognize the card. I have tried the same newer CF in my computer (a laptop), using Lexar's PC card adaptor (new), and it works fine. His camera is new (a few months) as is my PC card adaptor. I think either it is his hardware, namely the PCMIA card, or a driver for that card. Does the FAT or FAT32 have anything to do with it? (I don't even know what those mean or if they have any bearing on the issue). Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_sams Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 I believe you can go to the website for the CF brand and download an updated driver for the newer card to work on an older pc/adapter. The site will tell you how to load/install it, if you're not familiar with the process. I've done that with SmartMedia cards for an adapter I've owned for several years. Works like a charm...
