Is it possible for me to work with this card in Win 7? Thanks for any replies.
The card has multiple partitions and Windows is trying to mount the first partition which is a Linux ext3 partition. As you noted, it doesn't work with stock Windows.

Take a look for Minitools' Partition Wizard Home Edition. It will let you see the three partitions and does a nice job of extending the FAT32 partition. While you have the card out, I'd suggest making an image copy of it for future reference. You can also write that image to a larger uSD card and extend the FAT32 partition on that to gain more space if you need it in the future.

Check the Memory Mod Upgrade thread in this forum (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=209122) for more information on the tools and procedures.
