Question:

I have a 3 1/2 floppy with an 8 in 1 card reader but when I put in a digital card I cant access it.?

I used to have an option of an extra drive( drive h: i think) but now that isnt there under My Computer, only the 3 1/2 floppy drive. How do I get access to the digital card? Also, what would I be looking for under the device manager if I were to reinstall the drivers for this component?

With some card readers, the icons for it will always appear under My Computer, while the icons for other card readers may not appear until a card is actually inserted. If, for some reason, you have inserted the card correctly but the card reader still does not appear in My Computer, find the drivers for your card reader on the computer manufacturer's web site and install them. This will usually restore the card reader to working condition. However, if reinstalling the drivers doesn't work, consider the possibility that the card reader itself may be broken. At this point, you can either purchase a cheap external card reader or return the computer to the manufacturer for repairs. By the way, my card reader shows up in device manager as a Generic Volume under Storage Volumes. However, it only appears in device manager when a card is actually inserted. Otherwise, both Generic Volume and Storage Volumes disappear from the list.
