My client had a Win95 machine. He bought a USB SanDisk to upload images from his digitial camera to his PC. I had to upgrade his computer Win98SE due to USB support. I installed the SanDisk software, restarted, plugged the device in and Windows recognized it. It shows up as Removable Disk (D:) in My Computer, but when I put the little floppy in the drive, it tells me it cannot be read/accessed. Then I try to format the little floppy, and it tells me that Windows does not have enough memory to do it.

Start by checking with the camera mfg, and make sure that they are not using a propritary format on the media.
Or, some kind of data lock to prevent accidental erasure.

Make sure that the media is inserted in the right direction, and is insertedall the way.

I have had no problems with my Olympus camera and SanDisk's "Smart" Media reader.

What type of memory is it? Smart, Compact Flash?
