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 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:
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.

There is a FlexBay disable option in the BIOS setup that appears only when the
FlexBay device is installed. If the FlexBay device is physically installed, but it is not
running, check to see if it is enabled in the BIOS setup.
