Nobody's blamed the SD/CF reader.

I call dibs to blame the SD/CF reader.  Isolate the problem to find the
culprit...

Check the USB reader -- I'm curious to see if that fixes the problem.

And FYI -- No matter the Heads/Sectors/Cylinders, there are ~2000000 512byte
sectors, roughly equal to 1GB.

If it's not the adapter, you got cheated in the purchase.
