SDHC not read in Windows 7 via Bootcamp

Bump!

I have the exact same problem.

Mac OSX reads the card (SanDisk Extreme Pro 45MB/S 16GB Card) but Win7/BootCamp 64-Bit won't read it.

I tried another SD card, and it worked fine in OSX as well as Win7.

Anyone out there with some advice?

Kind regards

Same problem over here.

MBP early 2011, windows 7 in bootcamp. SanDisk Extreme Pro 45 MB/s 16GB. Works under OS X but windows does not recognize the card. Other SD cards (tried an older 4GB entryx class 6 card) works fine.

Probably something with the driver for the SD card slot.

Since I installed win 7 just recently, I may not have all updates. The service pack 1 is installed however.

Another (older) windows 7 laptop can read my card, so in principle windows should recognize it.

No solutions found so far...

I encountered the same problem on my new Macbook Pro 15. Is there a solution yet? The Broadcom SD Controller Driver for bootcamp is more than a year old.... 😠

I never managed to find a solution. I wouldn't mind if Apple could come up with something.

Same issue. SD cards read fine in boot camp, but not SDHC. I'm unable to locate another driver that works properly. For now, I have to do all my read/writes in MacOS, and use the MacHD partition to move files in and out of Windows.

Surely other laptop manufacturers use a broadcom reader and test it to make sure it reads all formats (not sure why apple didn't). If someone has another system that uses a Broadcom reader, they could pull the driver from it and put it on bootcamp. All my other systems have Ricoh card readers.

Same issue, frustrated 😠

I have no problem with Transcend 8GB SHDC Class 10 or Patriot LX 8GB SHDC Class 10. But the Sandisk Extreme 16GB 45MB/s SHDC is not recognized, not even an error.

I ask that the geniuses at Apple fix this problem ASAP.

Hi, I have same problem with my Sandisk 8 Gb Ultra. I've tried plenty driver but stil didn't work. Then I found this page: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/All-SanDisk-USB-Flash-Drives/Sandisk-Cruzer-not-rec ognized-by-Windows-7/td-p/233208. They said Sandisk have problem with Windows 7, and you can try their method to make it works. I'm not yet trying it, but I've tried changing sd card with my other sdcard (micro sd actually, with adapter, branded V-GeN) and it works with original Apple broadcom sdcard driver (from bootcamp assistant). So the problem not with Apple or SD card reader, but with Sandisk and Windows 7. So, do above method, or change your sd card, or change your OS, til solution come up with this.

PS: There is other solution. Just open your sandisk card on Mac, then copy your file to Mac partition, then you can open it from Windows 7 (to modify, you have to copy it to Windows partition first). And vice versa.

Same issue. Macbook Pro 15 Inch I7

Bump

Same issue

I'm no expert when it comes to computer scripts but here's how I see it.

If you use an SD card on MACs on initial setup, then the Mac will code out within the disk so that its

Macintosh writeable.

For some reason this coding only allows the SD cards to be read on full WINDOWS computers (NON-BOOTCAMP)

HOWEVER,

The only solution I found so far, is to set up the SD initially on BOOTCAMP-WINDOWS, which then codes the

writeable scripts or whatever, universal - Win / Mac

Pretty tedious I must say.

Bumped into this issue, and found the solution here:

Updated: it isn't really fixed. The reader recognized the card, bu couldn't read / write it normally. Other cards are also affected. I had to restore original card host controller driver from Boot Camp.

Same issue on my Macbook Pro 15".

The thing is that I only run a clean installation of Windows 7 64. No OSX but bootcamp installed.

I've tried all of the above suggestions to solve the issue.

When inserting a Sandisk Extreme III 4Gb I have no problems. When inserting my 8 gb Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC 45 M/sec nothing is detected.

I just tried to delete Windows and made a clean install of OSX Lion. Everything worked just fine (card reader and all). Then removed OSX and made a Windows only installation. Same problem again.

Who to blame?

• Sandisk proved that they can make a driver that works (in Mac at least). Also works on a "normal" PC with windows 7 installed.
• Apple - (It works fine in OSX)
• Microsoft - Works fine on a PC

It looks like this issue fall's between two chairs unless Apple are trying to make Microsoft look bad.

But no matter what - I just want it to work....
