My laptop cannot read the new Kingston 8GB microSD card in adapter

by melodia . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

I have a Kingston 8GB microSD card that was bought and formatted weeks ago, and if I insert it into this USB device it works as any other removable storage. However if I put it inside a Kingston microSD adapter (it’s not in the locked state) and insert it into the laptop’s SD slot, the computer would often freeze (especially if I open my computer to attempt to start any programs); if I attempt to open G:\ (the SD card drive) it would say “request could not be performed because of an I/O device error”. I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition. I checked device manager and there’s no exclamation mark on anything, I also did a manual update of the SD drive via device manager and it didn’t find an update.
Does anyone know what’s wrong?
Thanks.
