SD Card I/0 Errors

[rwinegar]

Boy! This one's got me stumped.

I have several 2GB SD cards. When copying and pasting data to them via high speed USB I am unable to transfer more than about 981MB when I get an I/O error. Event viewer error reads "An error was detected on device/Device/Hard Disk2/D during a paging operation". This happens with every SD card to which I try to copy data.

I have two HD's. I have 1GB physical memory and 1GB virtual memory on my data drive (D). I also have 200MB virtual memory on my system drive (C).

... but maybe the SD card reader in your system doesn't handle the card size. Wouldn't be the first.

I am using a Zio Dazzle SD card reader which I've had for about 5 years. When connected Windows recognizes it and assigns drive letter G. Windows correctly sees the SD card and shows properties of 2GB.

How can I tell if the reader is incapable of handling 2 GB? I never heard of this before. I thought the Zio was simply a conduit for file transfer.

Problem solved with new card reader.
