    Hi everybody,

    A few weeks ago I purchased an 8gb M2 MemoryStick to use with my Sonyericsson cellular.
    For my surprise, my Vaio SZ340 can't see this M2 card. When I insert the card (using an adapter) in MS drive, my notebook give me a message that is needed format the card before use, and ask for permission to format.
    In memory stick properties, I discovered that the system only see 3.52gb.

    There is any updated driver for memorystick drive, able to see cards over 3.52gb? BTW, I'm using Vista Business.

    Regards

    The MS is formated as FAT32 (formated by my cel, W910i).
    Is impossible format over 3.52GB in Windows. At lest using intenal Vaio's MS drive. No problem using a MS USB adapter or the cellular phone.

    Regards.
