I have upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64 bit.it has 19-in-1 card reader, that suddenly stopped working, in fact it stopped when I had Windows 7.
First off none of the removable drive letters are shown in my computer page,when I insert a card into one of the slots, I get this message "you need to format the disk in drive h before you can use it"
Now if I select format nothing happens, instead I get another message saying, windows was unable to complete format.
Can some one give some direction on this please?
 


 
So I guess you used SDHC cards. Not sure, but if you try a 1GB or 2GB SD card, it should work properly.

SDHC cards are not supported by SD card readers, you need an SDHC or a SDXC card reader.

SDHC can read/write SD + SDHC
SDXC can read/write SD + SDHC + SDXC

Besides, I doubt that the internal crad reader would be faster than the external USB card reader, because the internal reader is USB2.0 too.
