SDHC on X61/XP

#1 Post by mfbernstein » Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:38 pm

Just want to clarify whether the X61's SD reader does work with 4GB+ SDHC cards or not in XP. A couple people on the forum have reported success under Vista, but I've only got XP, so that's not a solution. Thanks.

You need the SDHC hotfix from Microsoft:

I would be curious on whether the hotfix actually makes SDHC work in XP.

Several readers have reported it to do so. Here is one thread:

Thanks for all the responses. Is there anywhere one can actually download the update from? Microsoft seems to be hiding it...

Here is the Microsoft KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923293

If you want the hotfix from Microsoft directly, you need to contact their support and request it -- they have not made it publicly available.

Saw that already, thanks. What's funny is they say on the page to scroll down for download instructions, but there aren't any.

Oh well, it's hardly urgent as my SanDisk reader is working fine.
