Media Card Reader Problems

N O D R I V E L E T T E R I S A S S I G N E D —

When Windows detects the Media Card Reader, the device is automatically assigned a drive letter as the next logical drive after all other physical drives in the system. If the next logical drive after the physical drives is mapped to a network drive, Windows does not automatically assign a drive letter to the Media Card Reader.

To manually assign a drive for the Media Card Reader:

Windows XP

1 Click Start, right-click My Computer, then select Manage.

2 Select the Disk Management option.

3 Right-click the corresponding drive letter in the right pane that needs to be changed.

4 Select Drive Letter and Paths.

5 From the drop-down list, select the new drive letter assignment for the Media Card Reader.

6 Click OK to confirm your selection.

Windows Vista

1 Click Start , right-click Computer, and select Manage. 2 Click Continue if prompted.

3 Click Expand the Storage object and select Disk Management.

4 Right-click the corresponding drive letter in the right pane that needs to be changed.

5 Select Change Drive Letter and Paths.

6 Click Change.

7 From the drop-down list, select the new drive letter assignment for the Media Card Reader.

8 Click OK to confirm your selection.

NOTE: You must be logged in with Administrator privileges to perform this procedure.

NOTE: The Media Card Reader only appears as a mapped drive when it is connected. Each of the four Media Card Reader slots are mapped to a drive even if no media is installed. If you attempt to access the Media Card Reader when no media is inserted, you are prompted to insert media.
