Default SD card & built in card reader problem

As far as I know, none of the built in readers can read a HC card, and
that's why most card mfgs supply a tiny converter to USB. They are very
cheap, and you can get one with a new card, and use it on all your HC cards.
There is no driver update possible, I am told, because the pin out is
different. I read my 4 GB SDHC card with no problems using the adapter to
USB, and the SD cards read fine plugged directly into my card reader built

I have a Aspire 5100-3583 with a built in card reader with Vista Home
Premium SP1.

I have a Lexar 1GB SD card and a Kodak 128MB SD card which I'm having
problems.

I can't get Vista to read the SD card. it shows up as a SD Card in
"Computer" but won't read. If I try to open it, it says to "Please insert
disk into SD drive"

when I try to format the card in Vista, in the format window where it says
"capacity", it says "unknown capacity".

I have checked the acer site and I have what appears to be the updated
driver "ENE Card Reader Driver 3.00.00" and the windows KB936825 update
was already installed.
