I'm not sure what you mean by "Complete fail on the Windows XP PC at work".
Does your XP PC at work have an SD card reader/writer?
Was it that an SD card formatted in the XP PC and given some test files in
a test folder, did not show up in the jetbook's menu, when you iserted it into
your jetbook while it was on? Was there any error message when you
inserted the SD Card? If so, what did it say?
If you are using the Jetbook as an SD card reader/writer for your work XP PC,
do both the Jetbook's internal memory and the SD card in the Jetbook, show
as new drive letters? This should be happening when you connect your
Jetbook to your PC using an USB cable.
XP should popup a window labled "Removable Disk (X: )" and offer to open a
folder in Windows Explorer. If you have an SD Card in the Jetbook then the
Drive letter in the "Removable Disk (X: )" will be the letter assigned to the SD
card and there will be the next lower letter assigned to the Jetbook's internal memory.
You should be able to format a workable FAT32 SD card for the Jetbook using
tools for just about any operating system. (After all, that is one of the
reasons that the relatively simple FAT formats are used for these flash
memory external devices.) The external drive interface in your "notebook" is
sure to be much faster and more stable than working through the old 1.1 USB
interface, to get to the SD card when it is in the Jetbook.
Others who have lost the functioning of the Jetbook's SD card reader, have
gotten it back by "restoring" to factory settings using the Diagnostic Screen
functions built-into the Jetbook. **Caution** doing so can wipe out your
internal user memory, so it is a good idea to first copy the internal memory to
a folder on your PC hard drive, using the USB cable.
To enter the diagnostics screen:
Reset the device.
Then hold down three buttons. They are: "on/off" "zoom" and "menu".
When you see the jetBook screen let go of "on.off". Keep holding the "zoom"
and "menu" keys until you see a 16 item screen.
It's tricky, so it may take a couple of tries.
Then you can reset the Jetbook to factory defaults.
After that is done, reset the device again.
Luck;
