My Question:

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 digital camera using a Sandisk 512MB SD card. The camera formats this card as FAT.

See the following:

Properties:
http://home.mindspring.com/~tomcom/FAT/FAT_Flash_Card.jpg

I have a Simpletech Flashlink ALLinONE USB Reader.

The card inserts OK and is recognized by Windows.

See the following:

but when I attempt to open either of the folders I receive the following error:

http://home.mindspring.com/~tomcom/FAT/FAT_Flash_Card_Error.jpg

Any suggestions will be appreciated.  TIA.


I apologize. This problem had me frustrated and I guess I had my feathers ruffled. Normally; I have a sense of humor and don't allow anything to get under my skin. I guess the combination of Plato and you did it. Sorry.

I had already contacted Panasonic; to no avail.

I had already checked the Simpletech website and this model reader does not require a 3rd party driver for WinXP.

This reader is compatible with the Sandisk SD card, but apparently not with the Panasonic format.

Also;  I have an HP Photosmart 375 printer, which reads the card fine.

I purchased and connected a Sandisk ImageMate 5 in 1 Reader and it works fine.

Also;
