Vista can not read memory cards, please and get in shape.

Hi, I have a strange problem that appeared on my laptop Sony VIAO.

Now it will not read any memory card I use. USB flash drives, SD or MagicGate cards in the slots of the laptop, or the internal or external to a PSP memory.

In all cases, it recognizes the drive exists, but when I try to open it I get an error "you must format the drive until you can use it."

An exception is the CF card in my camera, which is very well read (through the camera and USB). Maybe it's because the camera is regarded as a Portable device in Vista, rather than a "device with removable storage".

I checked all cards work fine in the other PC, and they all used to work on this laptop (i.e. it is not a problem of size of memory card). I have not found anything relevant on the net, and Vista claims that drivers are working and up to date.

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

    In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

    The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

    http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

    and here

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

    If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  • Mac Pro can not read SD cards more

    Hello

    I need help with a strong issue with my Mac Pro, who can not read SD cards more. Gluing of any player on any USB, an SD card is not recognized more. Strange also when I put a CF card in the same drive, it works and I can see the CF card on my desk.

    Someone at - it a response?

    (Mac Pro 3.1, latest El Capitan, several players used, same problem)

    What do say to recognize?

    Finder?

    Disk utility?

    System Profiler?

    OS X: about system information and System Profiler - Apple Support

    Have SD readers that you have linked?

    When it is connected with an SD card lists what System Profiler under USB?

    You should see the reader and the card.

  • C55D-A-12N satellite can not read SD cards

    I got my Satellite for only a few months, and he was happily read the 8 GB SD card and then stopped.
    I bought a new 16 gb SD card, and it will not read either.

    I had cause to take the laptop to the factory settings and had a broken hard drive replaced.
    It does not read the card. I looked in the Device Manager, and he told me that the drivers are installed...

    . Can someone help please?

    Hello

    There's a reason simply why the SD card isn't recognized properly: the SD card isn't compatible.
    The Satellite C55D-A-12N card reader takes in charge the rest of media:

    8 MB to 2 GB SD
    SDHC 4 GB to 32 GB
    64 GB SDXC
    Mini 8 MB to 2 GB SD through adapter
    Micro SD 8 MB to 2 GB via adapter
    Any other MMC 4 MB more than 2 GB

    As you can see, the regular SD cards are supported by only the formats between 8 MB and 2 GB

  • My Omni10 can not read sd cards

    The tablet can not read my sd card I tried 2 sd cards and still does not work. This after I updated my Windows. And sometimes due to the sd card my screen freeze and I have to disconnect my sd card in order to get works. I kinda want my Tablet factory reset. Anyone know how?

    @ richardgho: I agree, however, I do not work for HP, so I have no authority in the matter. Despite this, describing results from the troubleshooting steps you have already accomplished should demonstrate that your tablet is defective.

    If you are still in yout seller of trading period, which may be an easier option for you, instead of getting the HP Technical Support to approve a sectoral approach. Whatever it is, you've been sick, so I hope that you won't encounter any hassles even when organizing an Exchange.

    When you are satisfied that this issue is resolved, please indicate your message 'Resolved' to make it easier for others to learn what works for you.

    Good luck!

  • photos on CD - R in Vista can not read in XP

    I burned the pictures for a total of 628 MB on a 700 MB CD - R using Vista of reading.  I used the system of active files and ISO image formats.  Nor will allow the CD - R to open on XP.  On Vista, it shows all the photos that have been copied.

    If I use the Live file format & copy only 20-25 photos on CD - R, CD opens on XP.

    Is it possible that I can avoid using so many CD to copy photos?  I'm not very known to the computer!

    =============================================
    Perhaps you could use a memory card or a USB flash drive to transfer
    photos.

    If you insert your Vista created CD - R in the CD/DVD drive on your
    Machine XP and go to the... Start / my computer... can you right click the
    The drive letter of the drive and select Explorer? This lets it
    See the directory of the CD? Maybe you can copy and paste or drag and drop
    photos from there to a folder on your hard drive XP.

  • Torch of blackBerry Smartphones do not read memory cards

    I got my flashlight for a few months and I just swapped my SD card (8 gb) of my previous phone in the torch. There worked perfectly, but then I started getting constant in messages to say media card was inserted and then deleted; These would happen immediately after another until I lose patience and take it out.

    I have wiped the card, formatted, followed all the instructions on the forums how do I transfer media top correctly, but now the phone does not even recognize it. I assumed it was just a specific it as card caused hassel in the past, so I tried a few other SD cards and the phone is not recognizing any of them.

    I plan to send my flashlight for repair if I can not find a solution, but I would rather not send it away for 14 days if I can avoid it!

    All solutions anyone?

    Thank you!

    Your Equium read MMC with XP card? If Yes, then I suggest you to reinstall your drivers and check if you have forgotten to download some drivers for download/install.

    Sometimes you can find the drivers that are not on the European website on the Canadian site of toshiba:

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the son. HP do not have an update of the firmware.

    DevManView let me see all the devices that are installed.

    I disabled the device I think about the origin of the conflict, but which has not set a problem.

    I'll have to get the keys to void Current Control Set.

    Thanks for your help.
