Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / February 2007Media Reader Problem
I have a 8 in 1 and 9 in 1 usb2.0 media reader (SD, Compact flash, ...). My computer recognizes the reader when plugged into the USB port. But when I insert my SD card it gives the "no disk in reader error". I can read the SD card when it is in my camera through the cameras USB port but not with the 8 or 9 in 1 media readers. I am running WinXP professional. Has anyone run into this before? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks WW Have you checked your drivers for the reader, try formatting the Sd Card, in the Camera of course.. >I have a 8 in 1 and 9 in 1 usb2.0 media reader (SD, Compact flash, ...).

Card is formatted, Install directions claims WinXP does not need a driver. Solved the problem. I had to uninstall the USBport the media reader was plugged into. Reboot the system and then it worked. > I have a 8 in 1 and 9 in 1 usb2.0 media reader (SD, Compact flash, ...). > My computer recognizes the reader when plugged into the USB port.

Just got an IOGEAR GFR202SD card reader/writer Windows 98SE recognized it when plugged into a USB port, but where do I get a driver for it? The pdf manual at iogear.com mentioned a driver CD, but the little blister pack included only the USB GFR202SD card reader/writer, card, and quick start guide, no CD. I can't find a driver for it at iogear.com. Any help will be appreciated.

Window 98 SE requires a USB mass storage driver to work. http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GFR202SD SignatureCSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- You have a problem.

As far as I know, there is not a generic Mass storage driver for Windows 98. Of course if you were a Master Programmer, you could write the mass storage driver for Windows 98. I would dump the Iogear and get another card reader that works in Windows 98. (Check the specs before buying). > Look at http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=dm&manual&Item=GFR202SD&PHPSESSID=4a4b21 > 01ec2dab102f7c125326f50103 > > Sorry about the link wrap. > SignatureCSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- "CSM1" <nomoremail@nomail.com> wrote: > Not likely, the manufacturer has to provide the Windows 98 driver. > As far as I know, there is not a generic Mass storage driver for [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I would dump the Iogear and get another card reader that works in > Windows 98.

Many thanks, SignatureSheldon Isaac lose all .control when replying >> ME and 98SE are close in structure.

Therefore there is not a separate software for the mass storage driver in ME. Which is why the Iogear device did not supply any software. All of the systems they supported have built in support for USB mass storage. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/install/hh/inst all/idstrings_d17bbed6-5ee4-4d17-86cd-88d240128fef.xml.asp Read the first paragraph.

When i take the sd card from th camera and put in the iogear, the computer says that the file is there but that it is 0 information. When i put the sd card back into the camera, the camera say "unrecognizable format" - but it was there and saved on the sd car before putting it into the iogear. If i use a regular card reader, it works fine. Is there a glitch? I am using windows xp -- Brose Future Hardware - http://www.futurehardware.i > I have a kodak easyshare z710 camera.

Apparently there is glitch somewhere. Format the card in the camera only. Erase images from the card in the camera only. Never on the computer, the computer will create a unreadable card for the camera. It is likely that the card was not correctly formatted before you used the card. If you have pictures on the card and you can view the pictures in the camera, then copy the images using the USB connection of the camera (It there is a USB connection). Or the Dock. After copying the images then format the card in the camera before using the card again. If you can not copy the images, they are just gone, sorry for your loss. Do you think there may be something wrong with the iogear? Windows XP can read any valid format available. The keyword is "Valid". SignatureCSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- I am not sure what's going on. it works sometimes - and not others. can put pictures onto the reader from the computer, and the camer reads it just fine, but going the other way - even if i format the dis first, sometimes the file has 0 bytes. it shows the file is there, bu nothing on the disk comes over to the computer. interesting -- Brose Future Hardware - http://www.futurehardware.i |
