I have a SmartMedia card that I use for an audio sampler. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium machine, with a TEAC USB HS-xD/SM USB Device. When I put the card in the slot, the LED lights up, but I don't have access to it.

In My Computer, there's four greyed-out Removable Disks. I try to open one, it tells me to insert a disk. When I try to perform Error-checking, I'm told "The disk check could not be performed because Windows can't access the disk." I've never used a SmartMedia card before, and getting it going on the desktop would make life a lot easier.

Thanks for your time!

It's reading the individual slots in that TEAC as individual drives. With nothing in them, they are inaccessible.
With the SM card in one, one of those drive letters should be active.

But I gotta ask..why a SmartMedia card? They are small and ancient. Possibly that particular card is bad?

I'm using SmartMedia because it is for use in an audio sampler, like I stated. If here was another option for this unit, I would use that option instead. This sampler has features not available in other units besides ones that are out of my price-range.

Again, when I insert the card, the light on the unit comes on, but the drives remain unavailable. I know the card works, as there is audio stored on it that can be used on the sampler.
