Media Reader Problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

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..

plugged into. Reboot the system and then it worked.

You have a problem. The Iogear GFR202SD is not for Windows 98SE.
Specification says Windows® 2000, ME, XP .

Window 98 SE requires a USB mass storage driver to work.

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 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).

ME and 98SE are close in structure. I would give the ME driver a shot.

While ME and 98SE are close in the type of Windows, ME added support for USB
Mass Storage devices, that 98SE needed drivers for.

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.
