I am having issue with Vista wanting the CD or driver for Android. It won't plug and play nor even see the device as a drive letter for copying files to and from the SD card. Anyone else? Any solutions?
I got some SDHC cards from Woot (4gb - $6) and was very excited and they also cause the same error. (1gb included does too.)
Try going into menu/settings/sd card & storage and mount your sd card. See if that helps, I hyave vista on 4 pc's and a laptop i my house and have no problems at all. The phone itself will not show as anything, just the micro sd card as a removable device.
I wish I could help. Which version of Vista are you running? I'm running 32 bit Vista Home basic and I'm having no problems.
Having you tried formatting the card through a card reader first and then putting it in the phone?

Problem: Getting the G1 to mount as mass storage device to Windows VISTA; When windows can not find the driver.
TRY THIS FIRST

To get vista to look where you want to for the driver after you follow the steps at this link.
Right Click Computer/ Properties/ Device Manager/ find the device with the question mark next to it right click and Update Driver software.
Browse / and point windows to search in C:\Windows\inf
ONLY TRY THIS AFTER YOU TRY THE OTHER. (borrowed from the poster above.)
Additional Info - If for any reason the first link dosent work try this. On your phone go to Settings, then Applications, and then Development. Unselect the checkbox for "USB debugging", Connect the phone to your computer and you should receive a notification on the phone that says "USB Connected". Select to Mount and you should be able to see the contents of the SD card on your computer.
If that doesn't work try these drivers:
