Hi,

Just got a 512Mb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo off of Fleaby and I took it out of its packaging, put it into the K750i but it does not recognise it.

Do I have to format it or something first? If so what do I do to do this??

Thanks
Iain

um format it from the phone, but it still should recognize it, if you go to options from the folder menu do you see the memory stick in the phone ?

To format the card the phone has to be connected to your PC. It will then show up as a hard disk in windows explorer, probably the G Drive. You then have to right click on the drive, then click on format. Make sure you change the setting from FAT32 to FAT otherwise it will not work. Once this is done, disconnect the phone from the PC. Turn your phone on and off and it should be working perfectly. Hope this helps
All the Way! Looking for a w705 PM me! Arizona

Hi dgilmartin,

I seem to be having the same problem. Just bought a K750 and inserted my Sandisk 512 duo pro. The card was previously formatted in a sony cybershot.

The phone doesn't recognise the card and I've tried your procedure but to no avail. When I click on the drive in windows nothing happens. Any other ideas?

many thanks in advance,

RichyH
