Hi, I have used my Micro SD card with card reader on my laptop for a long time with no issues, until last week, when I out the USB card reader in, it did a scan which I think said "removable disk" and I quickly cancelled the scan as I didn't know what it was. Since then, when I out in the USB card reader it does not display as usual under my computer, sometimes "removable disk F:" flashes up for about a second before it disappears.

I have gone into Disk Management, and it shows the removable drive and says no media. However, when I do a programs and files search and put in "Micro SD" it shows up, and lists the number of files I have on the card. I double click the drive and I start to get "Please insert removable disk" message everytime. My files are still on the SD card when I put it back into my phone so at least my data has not been lost, it's just I can't view them anymore on the laptop!

Please help me fix this, it's been driving me mad!

Appreciate any help.

Anyone??

I have now tried a number of things with no luck. I have tried changing the drive letter, updating USB drivers, and looked in disc management and the SD card does not display there, it just shows the removable drive and says no media.
I don't think the card has gone bad because the card works fine in my phone it's just now not being detected on the laptop. I really don't want to format and lose all my data : ( so how can I get the laptop to detect the card again??
