    Hi all. I just bought a HP Elitebook 8530p and it seems like a very capable machine indeed. Though, when I tried to insert a Memory Stick Pro Duo in the multi card reader it did not get detected and also got stuck quite deep inside the reader. Fortunately I could fish it out with a piece of rigid paper, but still... Is the card reader not compatible with MS Pro Duo? Or am I doing something wrong? I just pushed it in like I normally do with an external reader... Never had a built in multi card reader like this before. No adapters or anything included in the package.

    Cheers
    Dd.

    You need the MS adaptor because it only takes full-sized Memory Sticks.
