HELP - No drive letter gets assigned to SD Card!

[Spare Brain]

Hi,

I have a HP nc8000 laptop which has a built-in slot for SD Card (running Win
XP SP2). When I pop a card into the slot, I can see the PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI in
the list of hardware, but it does NOT get a drive letter assigned!

If I reboot the laptop, with the card inserted, it shows the drive letter
(typically L!!

What is interfering with the assignment of the drive letter? What could be
happening? Any expert opinions?

HELP!

Thanks
SB

I notice that if I plug an XD card or a USB pen drive in then click on 'My
Computer' it cannot be seen. If I close 'my computer' and try again it
then becomes visible.
Not sure why. Is that your symptom?
