I am using an olympus fe-180 olympus digital camera and an olympus 1gb xd card. I formatted the card in the camera, and it saves pictures fine, I can view all of the pictures on the camera. once I take the card out and put it in the built in 5-in-1 reader on my hp dv6000t, it says card must be formatted, when i try to format it, it says "could not formatted". this happens every time i put the card in. I have downloaded all of the drivers, and still doesnt work. I know the card reader works because it reads sd cards fine. Thanks in advance.

Is the card readable by another computer using Vista or XP?

yes, it works in other card readers, i tested on a pc with xp and it worked

Thats odd.

I did just search and realized that... I don't know what OS you are using.
One site I found says it ships with Windows XP.

A quick search on HP.com to see if any new downloads where there found This download for the 5-in-1 reader, which you might have.

There are XP x64, Vista 32 and 64 bit drivers for it as well.

im running vista premium, and have downloaded all of the latest drivers, im starting to think its a problem with the hardware of the card reader. (its a built in ricoh 5-in-1 reader)

I'm thinking the same. The only way I could guess to confirm that is to find out if
1) No other XD card works and
2) See if another card (one of the other 4 readable, like CF) work or not.

Seeing as it sees a card is there, its not a wire lose to the USB connection, but its still a very odd issue.
I assume since the computer appears new that its under warranty which would be good for you.

yea it reads sd cards perfectly, and it is under warrenty and when i contacted hp they said theyd fix it for free, i was just wishing to fix it myself and not have to go through all of that. Thanks for the help though.
