Solve : card reader, Q drive?

1.	Solve : card reader, Q drive?
Answer» Hi, I have an external card reader which when I plug in to the computer shows up as drive (Q:) and is not accessible. I understand drive Q is something created by Microsoft office. I've tried going into drive management and re allocating it a different letter however it doesn't show up in there. The card reader works fine on other computers. Its a mesh computer, windows 7, AVg anti virus. any help greatly appreciated. ThanksIt may be driver related, even though most modern readers do not require special driver installations. Its very odd that it wants to map this to Q: unless you have many other drives before it from C: to P: Quote I understand drive Q is something created by Microsoft office Microsoft Office does not create drives. Drives are mounted by the Operating Systems Disk Management System. You should be able to go to Disk Management and reassign this to a different available letter. (If the system wants to format the card, say no or it will WIPE your data... sometimes Windows on the rare occasion detects new disks/cards and states it needs to be formatted even though its already formatted and contains data.) Quote The card reader works fine on other computers Are these computers Windows or a different OS? If they are Windows are they also Windows 7 or different OS. Please add more info as to what this drive works fine on. Do you know what format the card was formatted in? I've tried the card reader on vista instead of windows 7 and it works fine and the the spec on the reader says its compatible with windows 7 32 + 64 bit as well. I've also tried plugging it in with and without a card in it and doing a format (with no card in) as well as going into disk management however it doesn't appear in there.What is make/model of card reader?It's an E Blue Cadena + 43 in 1 card readerQuote reader says its compatible with windows 7 32 + 64 bit as well. Please link website stating its Win 7 compatible... every site I have visited shows Windows Me, 2000, XP, Vista, and Mac OS 10.2+ http://usb.brando.com/e-blue-cadena-43-in-1-card-reader_p00729c031d015.htmlYepper...It ends at Vista...he's asking a device to do what it cannot...Thanks, from all the online stores it does look like it doesn't work on 7 but I am going to try and have a look at the packaging because I THOUGHT that I'd checked before I bought it.Have you tried USING it on a different USB port?

Microsoft Office does not create drives. Drives are mounted by the Operating Systems Disk Management System. You should be able to go to Disk Management and reassign this to a different available letter. (If the system wants to format the card, say no or it will WIPE your data... sometimes Windows on the rare occasion detects new disks/cards and states it needs to be formatted even though its already formatted and contains data.)
