| Guest | Sd Card Reader disappeared ! Greetings. About 2 days ago, my internal sd card reader disappeared from vista. Until this time it works perfectly ( it was accessable via "computer" as removable drives ) but after formatting my system and performing Windows updates, it's gone. Usb drive on card reader still works but sd card slot not responding. I've already tried reinstalling drivers, also installing a clean Vista but nothing changed. And also tried activating removable drives management from Vista options. I think hardware is still ok but how can i use it again ? Thanks in advance. |

| Guest | Re: Sd Card Reader disappeared ! I have had something similar happen to me on one occasion. My solution was to go into BIOS, disable the internal USB for the card reader. Full power down and restart. Then reenable in BIOS, with another full power down and restart. It then found the usb/card reader. (I suspect that it would also have been OK to unplug the USB connector inside the case but BIOS was easier in my case).
