The SD Card Is Not Recognized by My Wii

The Nintendo Wii gaming system has the ability to save information, such as game files and downloadable content, to a flash-based SD memory card. The Wii has a built-in SD memory card reader located on the front of the system. If your Nintendo Wii isn't recognizing a memory card, your console has yet to be updated to the 4.0 version of the "Wii Menu" software.
