The operating system needs time to recognize the device if the reader was just installed into the computer and you are turning the PC on for the first time.

Wait a few seconds so that the operating system can recognize the reader and the available ports, and then recognize the media inserted in the reader.

After inserting a media card in the reader, the computer attempts to boot from the media card.
