| | 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. |

| | RE: Sd Card Reader disappeared ! If you looking in Device Manager does the SD card reader show up? If not, trying right clicking on your computer name at the root of the device tree and clicking "Scan for hardware changes."

| | Re: Sd Card Reader disappeared ! Something you could try doing is uninstalling the drivers for the USB root hubs. As long as you make sure NOT to check the box "delete driver software" they should reload the driver on restart. This has been known to correct internal card reader problems in the past.

| | Re: Sd Card Reader disappeared ! I doubt it's related to the BIOS. If you look in disk management do you see the card readers listed? There should be a drive letter assigned to them. If there's not, you can right click and add them that way.

| | RE: Sd Card Reader disappeared ! My internal card readers disappeared twice a while back and so I removed the cover, located the connection, disconnected the drives from the motherboard, reconnected them and hey presto they reappeared. I have no idea why it happened but it certainly did the trick, whereas nothing else did! Good luck.
