I've got a Gateway MX6000 notebook with WinXP Pro up-to-date SP2.
I've never plugged a memory card into it before, but have a 4GB RiData
X150 SD card left over from a Dell x51v fiasco I'd like to use with it,
now that the Dell PDA has gone home, permanently (another sad story).
Unfortunately, even after I reinstalled the SD card drivers, there are no
entries under STORAGE VOLUMES that say GENERIC VOLUME with any of the
various cards on them, like there are on my XP Pro desktop box. The
notebook simply doesn't create storage volumes for the card readers
installed in it.
Installed under Secure Digital host controllers is SDA Standard Compliant
SD Host Controller at location PCI bus 5, device 5, function 4.
The driver is Microsoft 10/1/2002 version 6.0.4069.1 This driver is
enabled and "working properly". Too bad it isn't connected to a VOLUME
so I can see a DRIVE LETTER in Windows Explorer (or anything else).
The Ridata works great in an Emachines T6520 AMD 64 WITH storage volumes
for each of the various card reader slots in device manager.
What services do I need to make sure are running in Admin Tools so XP
will create the proper storage volumes for this card slot? Can I force
it to create one in Computer Management? Under Storate - Removeable
Storage - Media, with the Ridata card in the slot and seated, the list is
empty and says "There are no items to show in this view." The working
Fat32 card with about 2GB of files on it never shows up....
Any help greatly appreciated. Gateway's TSR simply said for me to do a
system restore, which I think was a copout to incompetence.
Any keys in the Registry I should make sure aren't missing, deleted by
some uninstall-gone-mad?
I'm sure if those storage volumes were present, the card would be
accessible......(grrr...) Disk management, of course, only shows C:, D:
and the DVD burner.
