    Here is what I did to get this to work on (1st generation) HP nc8430 notebook:

    1) Make sure all software updates from HP have been installed.

    2) Make sure the FlashMedia device is ENABLED in the BIOS.

    3) Download and install this update from Microsoft:
    "Some Secure Digital (SD) cards do not work correctly on Windows XP-based computers" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946629 .
    ​
    4) Download and install this update from Microsoft:
    "Hotfix for Windows XP that adds support for SDHC cards that have a capacity of more than 4 GB" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428/ .
    ​
    This worked after I installed #4 above and rebooted.

    I hope this information is of help to other users of the NBR community.
