Internal 5 in 1 card reader not showing up in explorer (Win 7)

Ok, so my gaming computer's mobo recently died and have reverted back to using a very old roughly 8 year old packard bell prebuilt desktop :( .

This problem is a combination of a storage, component and Windows 7 I suppose so I'm not sure if this is the most relevant place to put this question.

Anyways, everything is working fine except for the internal 5 in 1 card reader not appearing in Windows Explorer. Now, I was assuming that chances are that I don't have the driver for it and having checked the manufacturer website, I can see that it is no longer supported and there is no driver for Windows 7. Fair enough, however, Windows 7 has detected it within device manager and having clicked on 'update driver' for all devices, the drivers are up to date and there are no warnings for any devices. Also, within 'Computer', drive letters E to H have been clearly assigned to the 4 removable storage slots of the card reader as my external hard drive two partitions have been assigned drive letters I and J.

So my question is, what am I missing here? Has anyone encountered this before?

Sorry for the late reply,

I don't actually have a floppy disk drive installed. Whenever I uninstall it, the auto plug play always seems to reinstall it. I can disable it in device manager and it disappears. I can also disable it in the BIOS but then my C: drive gets remapped to the D: drive for some reason and then I can't seem to boot, least not without repairing Windows to boot from D: instead of C: which I was not keen to do. So, I kept the floppy enabled in the BIOS.

As for the contents of each drive. The DVD drive is empty. When I uninstall the floppy drive plug and play reinstalls it, it asks me to format disk A: straight after the driver is installed, which something I've never really seen, particularly because I have no floppy drive in the first place. Anyways, when I click yes, of course I'm told there's no disk and to insert one.

SD card inserted with Floppy enabled in device manager

None, no red light turns on upon insertion. Nothing happens.

SD card inserted with floppy disabled in device manager

None, however the red light does turn on momentarily when I take it out.
