Do not know how to remove a media card correctly.
Cause Solution
The computer’s software is used to safely eject the card. Open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows
Vista), right-click on the corresponding drive icon, and select
Eject. Then pull the card out of the slot.
NOTE: Never remove the card when the green LED is
flashing
After installing the media card reader and booting to Windows, the reader and the inserted cards are not recognized
by the computer.
Cause Solution
The operating system needs time to recognize the device if
the reader was just installed into the computer and you are
turning the PC on for the first time.
Wait a few seconds so that the operating system can
recognize the reader and the available ports, and then
recognize whatever media is inserted in the reader.
After inserting a media card in the reader, the computer attempts to boot from the media card.
Cause Solution
The inserted media card has boot capability. If you do not want to boot from the media card, remove it
during boot or do not select the option to boot from the
inserted media card during the boot process.
