USB internal card reader not detected 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 Optiplex has the following important elements:

Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GHz (E8400)

Intel Q43 chipset

Transcend SSD 128 GB

6 GB of RAM (2 x 1 + 2 x 2)

(HD 3000 memory) integrated Intel graphics card

DVD - ROM (standard adjustment)

DVD - RW (from the Inspiron).

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, States manual service, you should disable the front disk to install the player, so I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted.  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.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

    This tip came in practice more than once in my experience.   ^_^

    Hi Sonrio,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

    According to the description, it looks like the game capture card Roxio is not detected in Windows.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

    Method 1:

    If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Try to connect the card somewhere else USB and check.

    I hope this helps. If you have questions more related to Windows, feel free to post here at Microsoft Community.

  • internal card reader must be disabled and then enabled in before Device Manager it will not work properly.

    Whenever I start my computer, my internal card reader must be disabled and then enabled in before Device Manager it will not work properly. I put an SD card in there and auto does not work. I check my computer and it shows that it is there, but when I double click on it to open it I get a message saying: Please insert the SD card. When I go to Device Manager and disable and enable fine orks. I tried different cards, but it makes no difference.
    I installed a different card reader, but another did the same thing. This leads me to think it's a matter of Windows.
    I tried to do a repair install, but it ends and said that the upgrade has failed?
    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem.

    I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. It is a Renesas controller and I use the 2.1.28.0 with firmware driver 4015.

    I'm not sure but I may have found the problem. I see where a guy here was having a similar problem and it was caused by Acronis. I recently installed Acronis 2012. I have been lucky to uninstall, but I will update this post when I do.  He was also running windows 7-64 bit on a motherboard ASUS!

    Acronis was the problem.  I uninstalled Acronis and now my card reader works as it should.  Strange!

  • My Satellite A100 does not support SDHC cards with the internal card reader

    Hello

    My Satellite A100 can't stand my sandisk 4 GB SDHC.
    'normal' SD cards are not a problem with the internal card reader, and there is no problem with the 4 GB sandisk SDHC card using an external card reader.

    is there a software solution?

    regrads,
    Itock

    I don't have the time to read the manuals for your model of laptop users, but can be registered to all supported cards. I guess SDHC not registered and not supported.

    I don't know what you mean with the software solution, but as far as I know, update for multimedia card reader is not available.

  • Internal card reader freezes Satellite Pro A due to bent pins

    Hello

    The stems of my internal card reader are folded due to a card of memory being glued and then removed.
    This causes windows to freeze at startup.

    Now I can disable the software etc. to stop what's happening, but what I'd rather do is to physically unplug the internal card reader, so Windows does not attempt to find it and crashed.

    Is it easy to remove the card reader internal?
    If yes then it would cost a fortune to obtain Toshiba to fix?

    I don't really want to spend a lot of money on something that is not a value of more than £200, which I intend to sell soon.

    See you soon,.
    Dave

    > but what I'd rather do is unplug physically the card reader internal, so Windows does not attempt to find and crash.

    Since the card reader is part of the motherboard, you can not disconnect it physically.
    In your case, there are two possibilities;
    Either buy and replace the motherboard (I think that it s not an option for you die at high costs) or you would disable this card reader in Device Manager

  • How can I disable the 'auto play' settings on my laptop built in SD card reader? I use Windows XP and it is a DELL INSPIRON 9400 laptop

    When I use a card reader external to see pictures on a CF card is not a problem, it gives me options to choose what need do is what I want my internal card reader to do, any help, advice or solutions would be very welcome for all your technicians over there.

    Follow the procedure described in the following article:

    "How to disable the Windows Autorun feature"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/967715 >

    There is a section in this article "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features", but you can disable it only based on the "Type" of the player.  What you can find, is that your CF card reader goes up as a 'removable disc' then your SD reader rises up like a 'fixed reader' (or vice versa) and it is the determining factor on the behavior that you get.

  • HP v125w 2 GB drive flash not detected by windows

    My flash drive is not detected by windows what should I do

    I have a HP v125w 4 GB flash drive that works on Windows 2000 and 7.  However, I also have a disk 16 GB flash of v125w HP which works on Windows 7, but was not recognized by my system Windows 2000.  Here's what I did to get Windows 2000 to recognize (this may not work for everyone, but it did for me).

    I plugged the flash drive to 16 GB on a Windows 2000-based USB port and ran:

    Norton SystemWorks-> Norton Utilities-> find and correct problems->

    Norton Disk Doctor-> diagnosis

    that gave me the message:

    Insert the diskette to diagnose in the E: drive.

    So, I ejected the flash player, it plugged into the USB port and you click on diagnose again.

    Norton Disk Doctor consulted the flash drive, diagnosed and gave the following report:

    There is no problem detected on drive E:
    Partition table... Jump
    Structures of files... Ok
    Surface test... Jump

    After this, the flash player was working fine on my Windows 2000 and Windows 7 computers.

    Thus, this procedure is awakened somehow the reader as much as to be recognizable by Windows 2000.  I hope this helps you.

    Bob.
