SD card reader in Toshiba notebook doesn't respond

[Moloman]

I've just got a Toshiba 2450 notebook (I like in England)
nd it has a SD card reader in the side. When I insert my
card nothing happens. I don't know if this is a Windows
thing or a Toshiba thing, but Toshiba don't have a
customer/technical service e-mail address. The only
evidence of the SD card being installed is the listing in
the Device Manager. I've tried to download updated
drivers from Toshiba, but that did nothing. I haven't
heard anything about Windows XP creating a drive letter
to access the card when one is inserted, but I would have
thought it would be like any other drive, or Toshiba
would have said something in the User Guide (which they
don't). Hope someone can help.
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue with my Sharp laptop! Can
someone answer this?

The card reader should appear in Windows Explorer as a Removable Drive and
be assigned a drive letter. Does it do so in your PC?

I have an earlier model Satellite which has a Smart Media card reader, and
it appears as E:\
