Question:

the SD card reader on my computer tower isn't reading the SD card?

i have a SD card reader on my tower for my HP desktop computer its a HP w2207h and the little light indicates that it is reading the card but nothing pops up like it usually would asking if i want to upload photos what could be the problem my dad and i just spent an hour trying to fix it and we don't know what the cause is i have a 1GB SD card from sanDisk and its annoying the heck out of me please help!

Answer:

There are 2 possibilities. Either the card reader went bad or the card itself is bad. Actually there is another possibility - you are using the wrong slot. Do some simple troubleshooting. Can the card reader read a different card? Can the card be read on a different computer? The answers you get will tell you what the problem is.
