    Windows 7, by default, doesn't show disconnected/empty media.

    If you have a SD/Memory stick inserted into the system, and it's still not there, try a restart. Maybe a driver failed to initialize when you booted up.

    You could also try reconnecting the media, if it's already inserted.

    Your right...I found what I did wrong. I had Hidden Files and Folders showing, then I changed it and forgot that I did that. So, if you elect to show hidden files and folders your icons always show in My Computer. Thanks for the help!

Trying to be mindful of backups I installed Macrium Free and created a USB boot drive. However, it took about six tries to get that made. When I went to reboot, the message was: insert the proper media and reboot. It took about a dozen times for the USB drive to be accepted as the boot drive. ...
