Trouble with SD card in Prestigio Multipad PMP3370B

I've recently been given a **Prestigio Multipad PMP3370B** (Android 4.0) which I thought would be nice for my daughter to watch videos on. I took an 8GB micro SDHC card from my Windows 7 laptop (NTFS format) and put it into the SD card slot but it wasn't detected. After a bit of a read I tried formatting it as FAT32/exFat and inserting it but for both formats when going to the system settings screen > storage screen there is no card listed and no option to do anything. So I have two questions: - How can I be sure the SD card is inserted correctly? It seems like it wants to slip out - How can I get an SD card working with this device I don't want to go out and get a new SD card until I'm sure it works correctly as otherwise it would be a waste of money.
