I took out a four gigabyte card in put in an eight. It's working fine.

But, I experimented with another four gigabyte card by putting it in a desktop computer first. It failed as you nearly describe: It has a drive letter but cannot be accessed nor formatted.

After hearing your story I will not take my card out and put it in to another computer until I am done with it and have bought another card for the phone.

Good luck.
