Hi,

I have found that my SDcard formatted in a Nikon D80 DSLR is unable to be read in any version of windows 8, I have tried different versions (including RT), different machines (including brand new Dell XPS laptop), USB converter...nothing works. I have also tried multiple cards of the same type.

The device shows up in diskmgmt, but the partition does not have a drive letter assigned, nor can I assign one manually. Any action on the disk/volume/partition in diskmgmt results in the following error: "The system cannot find the file specified". This is the same error for any version of Windows 8.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Matthew

Try to exclude other components:

1. Use another card reader for card formated in camera

2. Format another card with computer and test it in your camera.

3. Make sure that Windows 8.1 supports FAT (16bit version). If not, then you will not be able to read 16bit drive.

Regards
