Have you updated all your Windows patches and drivers for Windows 8.1? Here is a list of places to find the latest drivers for Windows. Use something like hwinfo64 and look at USB devices and see if you can find it, it looks like this - you need a card inserted for it to show up: It might be a dead device, or the internal USB cable is disconnected. See if the unformatted device is showing up there - then format it. Is the SD card you are trying to read formatted? After inserting (1st and/or 2nd insert) open Windows Storage Manager - right click on desktop computer icon and select Manage, then Storage. Jmbear, did you uninstall both old drivers and reboot first, before trying them - 1 at a time, or both at once - that is what I have configured - both?Īlso, did you try the insert, eject, and insert again to get it to mount? Tried both drivers and it did not work =( I have the same problem with a ROG G750JZ. Please let us know how it works out for you The only difference is now there isn't a fancy SD Icon for the drive, it is just a plain removable disk icon. I just uninstalled the Genesys driver and installed the Realtek driver, and now the SD card mounts first try every time G501, Windows 8.1, Card Reader section, Realtek Version V.21255
This works consistently.īut, that is annoying, so I went looking for a better solution.Īs I have posted many times, the newest drivers are available via new product releases, and the G501 is no exception, there are several new drivers useful in the G750/G751, and one of them is a newer Card Reader driver: Giffi, for me the Genesys driver exhibited the same behavior, and I found that if I inserted the SD card, then ejected it, and inserted it one more time, the SD card would mount. Any help or suggestions are most welcome. Uninstalled and re-installed the card reader software: I try to use the SD card reader but the card does not appear in file explorer.
