Flash Card Reader Problem

Jul 17, 2011 9:33 AM

I had been using my Kingston flash card reader connected via USB to my PC to read my video files on my SanDisk Extreme 32GB flash card.

But now the flash card drive does not come up.

I took a screen shot of the Device Manager.

Any suggestions on how to get this device going again?

I just have had a somewhat similar problem with an intermittant USB 2 connector. Have you tried other USB ports and/or another cable if it is a seperate cable.

I followed your suggestion and I plugged the card reader into a USB port that connects to a different part of the MOBO and I still have the problem.
I was able to read the card using the original USB port.
I put the card back in my FS-H200 recorder and and set it in HDD mode.
I think the system interprets the recorder as a LINUX device and it has a good USB driver for that device.
The USB port works but it doesn'r have a good driver for a flash card anymore.

For Windows problems (if this is one) search at http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US

What you MAY want to do (search first) is remove the USB via Control Panel and then restart, so Windows will reinstall the driver
