Media Card Reader Problems
N O DRIVE LETTER IS ASSIGNED —
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.
