Media Card Reader Problems

When Windows Vista 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 Vista does not automatically assign a drive letter to the
Media Card Reader.
To manually assign a drive for the Media Card Reader:
1
Click Start
2
Click Continue if prompted.
3
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.
