As I said before there have been numerous posts regarding problems with the
HP card reader
The MS recovery wizard you ran stated that there was a problem with the HP
card reader. I am aware that hardware devices showed no such problem.
In order to ascertain as to whether the Card reader is actually faulty you
will have to try another brand, a usb plug-in type. Perhaps you could borrow
one from somewhere, or buy one from a supplier who guarantees a refund if it
doesn't work
