I think it's this problem with XP:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;898456

To summarise, if you ask XP to format a memory card that is less than 2GB 
and currently formatted as FAT, then by (stupid) default it formats it as 
FAT32, which of course, the *istD doesn't understand. 

If you set the format in the dialog box to FAT, rather than FAT32, it 
works right. Formatting from the command line also works right. MS have a 
patch for the problem, which make XP re-format a FAT card as FAT, but 
this patch is isn't openly released yet, because they haven't finished 
testing it.
