I have a Treo 650 and I will copy files to it using a memory stick reader
(it's a lot faster than using sync.) When I insert the card I get the same
message but I choose the option that won't format and I can access the card
just fine. I don't always get that message either, something I get a
message that there's a problem and if I want to scan the card and fix it.
But I don't know what this will do to the card (I don't want to make it
unreadable to my phone.)

I won't format my card for the same reason but I would imagine that it would
be fat format to make it as compatible as possible with as many phones, OS's
and cameras that would read it. NTFS would lock it down to a select few.

Didn't have to do this in windows xp. I have stuff in there I don't want

Are you sure Vista doesn't need some special drivers to access the drive
properly?

I have a built in SD card drive on my ASUS laptop. I put my sd card in there,
windows vista rc1 finds it, but says I need to format it before I can use it.

I have an Asus A6km and my built-in card reader doesn't work at all. I think
it's a Ricoh card reader. In the Hardware Manager I assume it is the "SD
Hostadapter"? How can I get this card reader to work? Ricoh doesn't provide
drivers. Does MS do this?
