What do you mean when you say the memory card isn't recognized? What
version of Rockbox are you running?
I have a Sansa e280 myself running Rockbox, but I only have a 2G card in
it at the moment. I've been thinking of getting a 8G card, but I haven't
yet. I tell you this so you know that what I'm saying is based on what
I've read and what I understand, and it isn't based on actual experience.
If you're running an official version of Rockbox, currently 3.2, then
you don't have a USB stack in rockbox, so as you probably know, your
Sansa boots into the Sansa firmware whenever you plug it into the USB
port of your PC. The Sansa firmware won't work with HC cards, so you
won't see your 16G card in the My computer listing on your PC when you
plug your Sansa in. So if this is what you mean when you say your card
isn't recognized then you have your answer.
You should be able to format your memory card and transfer files to it
with a memory card reader on your PC and then put it back into your
Sansa. With the Sansa running Rockbox, you should then see it in your
Files listing. If you're not seeing the card at this point then I'm not
sure what the problem is. If you haven't already, I'd suggest formatting
the card as FAT32. I'm not sure what FS Rockbox recognizes, but my 2G
cards are FAT32.
If you're running a daily build then you should have the USB stack in
rockbox, and your Sansa shouldn't be booting into the Sansa FW when you
plug it into the USB port of your PC, and you should see the memory card
in your My Computer listing. At least, this is my understanding. I also
think that this USB stack will be included in the official versions of
Rockbox shortly.
I hope this helps. If not, let me know. You may also want to post your
question on the Rockbox mailing list (being sure to follow the list
etiquette) or search the Rockbox site for more information.

Greetings All,
I recently purchased a Sandisk Sansa E280 and installed Rockbox and I must say
I've been delighted. However, I do have a problem. I believe the Rockbox
firmware allows the E280 to accept up to a 16gb micro sdhc memory card so I
bought the Sandisk version of the 16gb card. My problem is that my E280
doesn't recognize the card. Is anyone else using rockbox and the Sansa E200
series player with 16gb cards? Any ideas on solving my problem would be
greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I love Rockbox coupled with this player and
find it extremely accessible.
