Using the Card Reader NOTE: The first time you use the card reader, Windows will detect the new hardware and automatically detect the drivers. 1) Once installed, you should now see 4 new drive letters appear under My Computer. Depending on which version of Windows you are using, the drive label may be "Removable Disk" or the actual drive type. 2) Insert your memory card into the appropriate drive slot. Please refer to the "Feature Diagram" if you are unsure which slot to use. 3) If the memory card has data on it or has been previously formatted in a format Windows can recognize, you should now see the drive label for the slot in use change to that of the memory card. 4) If the drive label does not change, you will have to try each new drive letter until you find your disk. This is because Windows automatically assigns drive letters for removable drives. 5) You can now read and write to the memory card as if it were a floppy disk. WARNING: Do NOT remove the memory card while data is being read or written to the card! Doing so may damage the card!
