Media card internal drive not seen by Windows 7 Pro 64

The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

The fixed.

First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, the service manual indicates before installing the drive, then I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted, you must disable the floppy.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
    Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

    If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  • DVD drive not seen by Windows 8

    I have a Dell Inspiron with Windows 7 537 originally. The installed and functional DVD drive is a TSST DVD +-RW TS-H653G ATA drive.

    I have recently installed WIndows 8 in dual boot. When I boot with Windows 8, the DVD drive is not seen. When I go to the Device Manager and I look at the properties of the DVD player, I have the following message appears in the device status area (here I give a translation of the message in french)

    This device is not actually connected to the computer (Code = 45).

    To correct this problem, reconnect the device to the computer.

    The fact is that the DVD still works fine when starting with Windows 7.

    Do I need a new driver or a new device or what else?

    KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 installed, but not "seen" by Windows Update

    Today (Tuesday 22 may 2012), after seeing the yellow icon in the taskbar, I ran Windows Update and KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 successfully installed, I turned off the PC by clicking on the red icon Turn Off with a shield icon, expected for all 3 updates to install, 4-color and for the PC to stop itself. It took a while, but everything went well. No error message.

    After turning on the PC, I went back to Windows Update and was surprised to see Windows Update suggests to install... KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073 which is the same three components I have installed successfully.

    I ran Microsoft Fix It that 1 issue (update of Windows components needs to be repaired (next line) repair of components Windows Update.) I clicked Next. Everything went well. I had a green check mark 'Fixed '.  I turned off the PC (without having to install 3 updates which I have already installed).

    I turned on the PC and went to Windows Update, asking me to install KB2633880 - KB2518864 - KB2572073. It's like Windows Update does not "see" that these 3 elements have already been installed.

    Note: I have the same problem on another PC. The two PC XP SP3 and are stand-alone PC. One is a desktop computer. The other laptop.

    I bought a laptop computer with non-genuine windows 7. I have the original windows xp product key pro, etc. from the bottom of the laptop, but I do not have the windows xp pro cd.  Help me, please!

    You will need to either buy a version authentic retail Windows XP, with its key sales, to a true scource or visit the site of laptop manufacturers, support for your model and see what versions of win are taken care of, then buy a commercial version of this o/s.

    The key on the base of the laptop is the recovery key that requires that the recovery disks provided by the manufacturer.

    You could phone manufacturers to support to see if they have the origonal recovery cd send you, for which it maybe a small fee.

  • Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

    OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

    My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

    The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

    I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

    After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

    Read the part about iTunes:

    If you cannot play or access a CD or a DVD, you may have to reinstall programs. Some programs are may not be able to use your CD or DVD drive until you reinstall these programs. If the problem persists when you install or uninstall these programs, contact the manufacturer of the program to see if an update is available that solves the problem. Some examples of programs that might be affected are:

    • Apple's iTunes software
    • Software Nero Nero Inc.
    • Roxio Creator of Sonic Solutions software
    • Microsoft Zune software

  • Tecra M2 - card reader does not work on Windows 7

    Hi all

    I installed Win 7 on my TECRA M2 and everything worked well at the same time... except for one thing! The SD card reader is not recognized (works well with XP).
    Hint please?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello!

    The card reader is listed in the device with the yellow exclamation point Manager?

    Normally, I suggest that you should try the Windows Vista driver card reader, but there is no driver on Vista card reader available on the Toshiba site.

    So it seems that you have to live with this problem or you try a driver from another laptop computer card reader

  • SD card slot does not work on Windows Vista

    I just installed Windows Vista RC1, which has just been published

    Just about everything works except the secure digital memory card slot.

    Until I installed Vista I ran the Compatibility Wizard and he said a few things that may not work, but the one that stood out was "SD Memory Card Format Utility.

    I guess that's why the memory card slot is not working?

    Anyone know how to operate? This isn't the end of the world because I can use the docking station, but his practice which he just work directly at the exit.

    Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Maybe the new operating system Vista doesn t include the compatible driver for the SD card controller.
    Right now the Vista is not supported by Toshiba because this OS is not official on the market.
