Computer Won't Read MicroSD Card
I have one of those combo memory readers on my computer. It is connected internally to a usb. It has a slot for CF cards and SD cards. When I put a CF card in, I have no problem accessing it. I just got a MicroSD card and the SD card adaptor. When I put that in, it won't read it or recognize it. However, the card itself is ok because I can access it in my phone and also I have an old netbook running Windows XP that has a built-in card reader and it comes up fine there. My Win7 machine won't read it.
How can I tell if the drive itself is defective, or do I need to do something inside Windows to activate it? This combo drive is almost 10 years old and I've never used the SD card reader slot in it before.
