I bought one of the above on ebay. Works fine in my multi-format card reader on my PC. Formatted to FAT32 without problems. Transfered files to/from it fine. Put it into my *ist D and it just says memory card error - will not even try to format the card itself.
I have latest firmware on *ist D. I thought the camera was fully capable of using microdrives and was happy with FAT32 for the higher capacities. It would seem not. This drive came out of an MP3 player - not sure if this means it is a slightly different model. Model number HMS360404D5CF 00 P/N: 13G1766. Anyone had success with a 4Gb Hitachi? Is it a very different model/part no? According to the Hitachi website, this is compatible with the *ist D: http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/situdtest.nsf/24680c479c057d5c862568f7005911d6/5b82f25d987cef3288256dfd006ea1d8?OpenDocument (Perhaps I have a fake - looks like the real thing though, do not really want to break the seal to find out.) -- Stuart mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
