Hi,

I'm one of the new greenhorns to this forum and I recently bought the Sansa e260 (which is a great little player!) I implanted a Sandisk memory card into the the expansion slot and loaded files to it (as well as filliling the 4GB internal memory. But now when I connect via the USB to Windows XP (SP2) I can only open the internal memory. Windows doesn't seem to see the memory card. I keep getting a message to "Please insert a disc into Drive", etc..

I must be missing something here because I should be able to see both memories as separate drives, shouldn't I?  I set the internal memory to MSC and I believe that I also did so for the memory card.

The only work-around that I can think of is to stick the card into a card reader and work my files from that configuration but I should be able to see it while its in the Sansa---I think.

Are there any kind souls out there that can offer a fix, or even some sage advice?

Thank you for any help that you may offer!

Fred

What firmware revision do you have on your player? This can be found in the Settings, Info section.

Then your Sansa is a V1. The V1 Sansas will only accept a card up to 2GB (unless you Rockbox the player). Only the V2 Sansas will accept anything over 2GB. Sorry.

It has been a while since I had a v1. If I recall correctly, and I may be wrong, but you can't access the card via Windows while in the player, as the Sansa is booted to the original firmware when connected, and doesn't recognize the bigger card correctly. I think you're right about having to use a card reader instead. Sorry I wasn't more help.

I think that you're right about the card reader. So that's what I'll do from now on.
Thanks again,
Fred
