Example.
SANSA e250 (E:)
Removable Disk (F:)

The E: will be the 2GB and the F: would be your 8GB.

No, because an 8GB card is SDHC.  The Original Sansa Firmware (which is what is active when connected via USB to your PC) does not support SDHC, and thus will only show drive "E:" in your example.

This may be incorrect.

A Sansa e200series always shows TWO drives on Windows.
If the microSD slot is empty, you just cannot access "F:" in this example.

As I don't own a SDHC card, I don't know exactly whats happening then, but my guess is the same as not having inserted a card.

Thought I'd mention something here... I have one of these:

and the little usb adapter that comes with the card is awesome. I'm using it now with my 16gb microSDHC and it works like a charm.

AutobahnSHO:
People on the sansa forums SAY you can load the SDHC and just drag stuff 2gb at a time to the card, IN the Sansa. But the 'puter won't show you all the contents at one time.

So how you delete is beyond me?

AlexP:
You can delete from within Rockbox.  See the manual for details.

To use an SDHC card, you can copy stuff to the internal storage, then use Rockbox to copy to the card.  However, using a card reader is much recommended.
