SD card reader/Laptop  

Thank you all three. Firstly, I would like to restate that this isn't a laptop problem but a desktop. That not being a problem, I did as you suggested Thefabe and here is the result:

USBSTOR\DiskGeneric_USB_CF_Reader___1.01
USBSTOR\DiskGeneric_USB_MS_Reader___1.03
USBSTOR\DiskGeneric_USB_SD_Reader___1.00
USBSTOR\DiskGeneric_USB_SM_Reader___1.02

Complutesplus! hopefully you will see this reply of mine and suggest whether that Acer Card Reader driver is still applicable. Pebbly! Its a HP, so once again I'm not sure whether a Dell driver would solve the problem. Not being an expert on these matters I will leave the suggestions to you experts.

Many thanks.

hi mitka27 sorry for the confusion ishould have qouted im303 question refering to a dell xps laptop, but anyway try computerplus's driver , it looks as though you are using a windows generic driver

try the driver it does not matter that it's for an Acer laptop what matters is that it's J Micron a lot of times you just need to know who actually made the hardware your dealing with and find a driver for that hardware and not worry about well it's an HP desktop look for an HP driver I mean sometimes that works but most of the time you have to get very resourceful to get stuff to work so just try it as I have had success with it.

Ok, I downloaded and ran the "setup" file. Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether I have to go into control panel now following the same process as I did to identify the original driver and select another or should it be automatic. If the later, then it didnt work. I still have 4 greyed out drives which weren't the case under Vista.

Thanks for you continued help

are you running the setup.exe in admin and compatability mode?

what's the model number on your pc

Yes, I have tried running the setup in admin mode. Not sure about the "compatability mode" bit, but it says that it has installed successfully. However, I cant seem to find where. But that might be due to my own stupidity of course.

The model number:
Manufacturer HP-Pavilion
Family 103C_53316J
Product Name RN620AV-ABJ v7080jp


Yes, a Japanese version. I hope it helps though. Beside this I think that Windows 7 is just great compared to Vista.

what is the number on the front panel it should say Pavillion ----- the above number is not the one i need

have you tried inserting an SD card and seeing if you're problem has been resolved?

On the font of the PC it only says HP Pavilion V Series. On the Support Guide front cover it says:

"HP Pavilion Desktop PC v7000 Series" I know from looking at the HP USA site that there are quite a number of PCs in the v7000 series though.

Pebbly you are a genius. I had only tried two of my SD cards and neither of them worked. Just tried a Compact Flash and that worked. Now if I can only solve the SD problem. Of course, it could be the reader or the SD themselves. I will try again in a couple of hours time when I have a little more time.

Many thanks for your help all.
