hokeysmokes said:I received my adapter this week and I just tried it out in my laptop and PSP. I am sad to say that neither device recgnized the micro sd card in the adapter. I deleted my confirmation email so now I need to figure out my id/pwd to Deal Extreme site so I can contact them. I would be interested in knowing what kind of experience others have had who ordered this product.
Is the micro SD card you're using brand new also? (ie, you check if it works on it's own?)
If it's already formatted to FAT16/32/whatever, might need to reformat before using in the adapter, or maybe even try disk manager and repartition it?
At any rate, I don't know anything about memory sticks, but noticed this warning on one site about memory sticks:
How can I format (initialize) Memory Stick media?
All Memory Stick media are pre-formatted for optimal performance before leaving the factory. You can use your newly purchased Memory Stick media immediately. If you wish to re-format a Memory Stick at a later date, follow the formatting directions for the device with which you are using Memory Stick media.
Caution
* * Do not try to format Memory Stick media using the standard Windows format tool (found in the "My Computer" menu).
* * When re-formatting Memory Stick media, all previously stored data will be erased. To prevent the loss of valuable data, be sure to make back-up copies before re-formatting.
