problems with card reader, please help!

inigobarrio · 08-17-2005, 12:52 PM

Hello, I hope someone can help me with my problem. When I bought my pc with its card reader, windows explorer had 4 removable disks, which were the card reader slots. Nowadays, they have disappeared! I think it could happen since I update my windows. Does anybody know how can I solve this problem??? maybe changing any parameter of the BIOS??? Thanks in advance. Bye

Do you have drivers for the reader? Can you see it in the device manager?

inigobarrio · 08-20-2005, 02:27 PM

Don't have drivers, the reader is a Gigabyte GO-C61LA 9-in-1 Flash Memory Card Drive (Black). I couldn't find any drivers on gigabyte site. I can't see the reader in the device manager, it seems that it's not recognized. Don't know what to do next. Do you?? Many thanks

How does it hook up to the mother board? (IDE cable, USB, etC)?

inigobarrio · 08-21-2005, 08:17 PM

Through a IEEE 1394 conector. Don't know anything about it, need help! Thanks again

Is this an external or internal device?

Did you try putting a card in it? Some times for one reson or another windows will make them go away until you put some thing in it...

very possible you need drivers, when i formatted my laptop's factory os the drive dissappears and i have to download from hp site.

It's an internal device. I think maybe some parameter of the BIOS, but know nothing about firewire. Inserting a card doesn't change anything, windows doesn't recognize it. Don't have drivers, gigabyte site doesn't seem to have it, that's only for me of course! hehe
