Hi all,

I have a 32MB Sony Memory Stick and a 256MB Sandisk Memory Stick Pro. Both
these cards work fine in my Sony Cybershot camera.

However when I insert them into the Memory Card reader in my laptop the
Sony works fine but the Sandisk while detected by the system does not get a
drive letter assigned.

Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? Any help greatly appreciated.

M.J.

Assign it letter in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)

That's my problem!
I can see the memory stick in Device Manager: IDE/ATA ATAPI Controllers
(shows up as a PCMCIA IDE/ATAPI Controller) but unlike the Sony card it does
not appear in Disk Management.
Thanks again,
M.J.

Just to be sure we're talking about the same thing:
Start -> Right Click "My Computer" -> Manage -> Disk Management

You mean the drive shows up in Disk Management without a letter, or the
drive is not in Disk Management at all? Letters can be assigned in Disk
Management. If it's not there at all, I can't help. Try another computer
and see if it shows up.

No, unfortunately it's not there at all. Also I can't try it on another
computer as the card reader is built in.
Thanks,

Yeah, that's the problem - the PRO card!
