Why my computer does not read my SD card?

I have an acer x 3810 with vista. I inserted my SD card into the reader and it did not read. When I looked at the drivers installed, it appeared to save even not that I have a SD card.  What should I do?

They go bad sometimes. Try these:

/ Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 when you start then look at the screen - make sure that the USB port is enabled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Control Panel - Device Manager - hard disk - drive SD card or similar - double click - tab driver-
Click on update drivers (this likely will do nothing that MS is far behind the certifying drivers) then right click
following the UNINSTALL.

Now bring the controllers USB - right click - UNINSTALL everything in category one at time EXCEPT
the category itself - REBOOT. This will refresh the USB driver stack.

Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

Do 1 above.

USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as
Although all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to
see if one is there. You can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.

Start - type in the search box - Windows Disk - find Windows Disk Management on the list above.
Right-click - look RUN AS ADMIN to see if there is a drive letter assigned or a conflict.

Check with the manufacturer of your system for the updated drivers - some card readers to do not use windows
drivers.

    Ideas:

    • my new laptop does not read a USB

    What happens when you insert the USB - anything?  He make up a menu of options or give you any error messages or anything like that?

    If you go to start / computer use you see the USB it?  If so, double-click it to open it.  If this isn't the case, read on.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / disk management and see if you can see the USB it.  It cannot be listed with a letter, but it may still appear.  If it is there, please post any information on this subject, he said EXACTLY Word for Word.  If she's not here, it is not really considered by the system.

    You have an another USB, you can try in the machine to see if she had somethiing to do with the stick rather than the PC?  You have another PC on which connect the stick to see if it works on another computer.  Have you ever used this front USB on any computer or is it new?

    You have all other USB devices connected to your system and they work well?  If this isn't the case, you have a USB mouse or other device, you can test on the computer to see if it works (if we exclude a problem with the USB ports or USB drivers).

    To be honest, as it is a new computer, I would contact the technical assistance service and to ask for help they should be happy to offer because it is a new computer from the computer.  They may be able to help more of us because they know that their systems better than we do (and I don't even know the manufacturer of your computer, the USB key, or almost anything).  In some cases, to play with the system without contacting them can void the warranty and you certainly don't want to do.

    I hope this helps.  If not, please answer my questions and give me the results of the procedures I asked you to try (including contact with the manufacturer) and we will see where to go from there.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and the

  • Droid X 2: doubleTwist player does not read the SD card

    (And NO, I'm not talking Desktop App... the app works great and sync to sdcard_ext very well.)

    Someone else had this problem? He is the only player who does not see the SD card. I'm trying to convince developers to doubleTwist, that's THEIR problem. They have so many users pass through hoops to describe their problem and give them details without actually solving the problem. It is approximately 7 months since the first issue has been reported to them. And of course, most of the users are deserting a ship and ask for refunds.

    Any thoughts?

    There is something about the fact, however - after using about a dozen media players, that's really one of the only media players I found the sdcard_ext problem. I went to PowerAMP and I love it.

    Assuming you have Windows 7, I would suggest you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode with networking, I suspect the involvement of a third-party software, suggests therefore you can start your computer in a clean boot State, and check if the problem persists.

    Go to Device Manager and uninstall the card reader, it should include the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
