Problem with USB card reader.?

I just tried putting my memory card from my camera to my memory card reader that is supposed to be able to read all memory cards but i can't find a slot that will fit my memory card.This is the first time i'm trying to put my memory card into my card reader,but i have tried putting my friends memory card from her camera to my card reader and there was a slot that fit.My camera's memory card is a xD-picture and my card reader has 4 slots and it even has a micro adapter for really small cards.My camera model is fe-190.I don't have the usb cable to connect straight to the camera that's why i'm using a card reader.Is there a slot that fits and is it just me that's not putting it properlly.

Answer:

It's going to depend on the memory card reader model as to whether or not it will accept xD memory cards. Usually one of the four slots will be labeled as to which will accept the xD card. Just look on the side with the slots. If it doesn't fit, try turning the card upside down and try again. Worst case scenario: you may need a different card reader (make sure it says xD on the packaging) or you can try an adapter (there are adapters to put an xD card into a compact flash slot). Your best and most affordable bet is a new card reader if there's no labeled xD slot on the card reader you have.
You can go to your local camera or computer store and purchase a USB cable a xD card reader. They are inexpensive accessories.
