Computer won't read SD card

Got a new phone. Have taken some pictures & videos with it. Put in a micro SD card and formatted the card in the phone. Transferred the pics & videos to the card. Took it out of the phone & put in the 'standard' sized SD adaptor & plugged into the PC. The PC doesn't do anything to indicate it sees the card. I go to MY COMPUTER and the 'I' drive does show the card being there. Double click the "I" drive. Takes forever for the hourglass to go away & I get a popup that says the card is NOT formatted & do I want to format now. Well, okay, YES go ahead & format now. After about 15 seconds I get another popup that says the card cannot be formatted. There is a little 'lock' switch on the adaptor. I have tried this in both the locked & unlocked positions.

Any help???

Thanks,

Can you confirm the reader works with any other cards? How about different sized cards? Might you be using an SDHC (essentially any card 4GB or higher) in a non-SDHC compatible reader?
 
I have a standard sized SD card ( 1GB ) in my digital camera. It reads that fine. The micro card is a 2GB.

Thanks for the reply,
