Dimension 5100 Card Reader cards bigger than 4GB [Dell]

From: Justin on 29 Dec 2009 21:18

I believe it is a "teac" card reader. It cannot read SDHC cards - but
before the rebuild it was able to do exactly this.
The machine has a license for Windows XP Media Center edition 2005. I
tried the following hitfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428

It said I already have the latest service pack and refuses to install.
Other cards work fine < 4GB.

Other than switching to Mac how do I solve this slight problem? The
client has a bunch of videos from a JVC everio camcorder that need to be
transferred and burned to DVD.

If I have to get a new card reader - how can I get one that has a cable
that will fit the proprietary Dell header on the main board?

are you saying that you reloaded windows mce on your dimension 5100 and
are unable to read sdhc cards that are larger than 4gb. my first
question is if you installed the chip set drivers directly after
completing the windows installation. then along with all the other
drivers (video, nice, audio, modem, etc) did you install the media card
driver. and did you then update windows repeatedly until there were no
more windows updates available? that hotfix you mentioned clearly
states that it requires a system with sp2 before it is applied. also,
some older sd card readers are not capable of reading sdhc cards. not
sure if the 5100 falls into that camp but the point here is that you may
want to review your recollection of the large sdhc card previously
working with this system, it may have been a different card that worked,
one that might not have been a sdhc type card.

Yes, MCE was reloaded onto the machine.
After that point I am unable to read card greater than 4GB whereas
previously I was.

Yes, I ran windows update until all the drivers were installed. SP3 is
confirmed to be installed.

Did you install the chipset software? It is not available from Windows
update.
