It's XP. I've only been doing critical updates; I wonder if looking at driver updates might solve the problem. This is just too bizarre!

Peggy,
The statement about FAT32 only supporting up to 8GB isn't true as there are 
hard drives, both internal and external that use FAT32. There is a limit
that FAT32 supports, but it is much larger than 8GB as I have a 120GB that
is formatted FAT32.

What Operating System are you running? If XP or lower, I would check to
ensure that you have the latest drivers and updates from Microsoft and the
manufacture of your computer.

Well, my card was also a 32 gb Transcend.  Despite a couple formatting
sessions, it seemed to only want to hold about 8 gigs. Today at work I was 
talking to a guy who's kind of a computer geek, and telling him about my
problem, and he said FAT 32 can only hold 8 gigs.  That would explain my
problem, but that doesn't seem to be totally true, since everyone else seems to be able to get 32-gig cards and pop them into their card readers and have 
them work.  And we tried this card with two different card readers, one of
which was purchased within the last year or so. I'm just about ready to buy 
three 8-gig cards and divide the maps up among them, but I'd really rather
have everything on one card.  I just don't want to order another card and
not have it work, so I'm not quite sure what direction to go from here. If 
I could find a 32-gig card locally and bring it home and try it and they'd
take it back, I'd try again.  Or perhaps there's a setting on my computer
that makes it not recognize big cards?  I just wish I knew how to resolve
this.

Well then, I'd say Peggy's card is defective.

Hi,

I bought a 32 gig card a few months ago from New Egg. It is made by
Transcend. It works fine in the Pk, the mPower, the Voice Sense and the
Braille Sense Plus.

Peggy,

It's possible that you just got a defective card.  It rarely happens,
but
it's still a possibility.  Would it be possible to fit all the maps you
want
on a 16GB CARD?  I don't know if there's a size limit on cards the
M-Power
can handle. You might also consider keeping your maps on a flash drive.
