Card SD not recognized and the error message: G: made reference to a location that is not available and may be a drive on this computer or network

Original title: try to get a removable drive for recognized card reader

The picture card reader is under g: removable disk, but when I insert the sd card is unrecognized.  No AutoPlay.  Under my computer, it shows a player when the card is inserted but is he named drive letter, just a question mark.    Error message appears and indicates that g: refers to a location that is unavailable.  He says it could be a drive on this computer or network.  This isn't networked.  Card is inserted correctly.  message indicates that it might have been moved to a different location.   How to get the drive recognized or knowledge if it was moved and twhere was - this moved?   Thank you James

Hi James,

1 - is the device is not detected in Device Manager?

Step 1:

You can try to change the drive letter and check if it helps.

Step 2:

Also check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager.

a. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.

b. Locate the device name in the list of Bus USB controllers.

c. If you see the item on to the SD card, right-click on it and click on uninstall.

d. restart the computer and check if that helps.

Hope this information is useful.
