Alright, here’s the deal—I’m messing around with this USB card reader that plugs directly into my PC. I can’t quite pin down the exact brand off the top of my head—I think it might be a Sweex model, if I recall correctly.

The headache is this: whenever I pop in an 8GB SDHC card, the little indicator light shifts from green to orange—which tells me the device actually "sees" that something was inserted—but then nothing happens. My computer just acts like it’s totally oblivious; there’s absolutely nothing showing up in File Explorer.

Is it even possible that this thing just isn't compatible with the SDHC standard? It seems to handle old-school SD cards just fine, but the newer stuff is a no-go. To be clear, the card itself is perfectly healthy—I already tested it in my camera and it works without a hitch.

It’s the only logical explanation... the SDHC standard just isn't backward compatible with older SD readers...
