Re: Windows Explorer doesn't recognize USB memory card reader

Not sure in your case, test it otherwise.

Just got a Sandisk 12-in-1 memory card reader. Each of 4 slots gets a
different drive number assigned. I can manually enter the drive number in
the address window and then that drive will show up. I am running XP
home. A guy at work has one (on a Win2000 box) and Explorer shows all 4
drives whether there's a memory card in a slot or not. Is there a setting
I need to change? I've noticed the same thing when I plug in a USB memory
stick. I'm plugging into an auxiliary USB port on my monitor (which is
plugged into the computer's USB port). Would that make a difference?

Thanks.
