My new Card Reader software doesn't fit the motherboard!!!

Hi everyone;

I¿ve purchased a USB2.0 12 in 1 Card Reader from Direct USB Store on line. However it came with mini CD software which does not fit my motherboard CD/DVD drawer!

I just want to know this before I order another! Do all Card Readers come with mini disk software?
And if I try the mini disk software in the motherboard will I damage it?

Thanks for your help

You'll probably find that when you open 'My Computer' that you have an extra half a dozen drives :laughing:

I'm pretty sure you won't have any problems - if you do then you know where we are :slight_smile:

The 8cm disks are still used, I have the Freecom 32A CDRW drive, and inside was an advert for Freecom Beatman which uses 8cm disks.


Yeah my friend had one, only fitted 175MB / disk

Hi Rob;

Thanks for your support.

I¿ve managed to view my pics from the Memory Stick :slight_smile: (inserted face up)
However I struggled to insert the SD card! And when I did it kept saying insert disk!!!

Any way as there was no instruction for how to insert different MCs in the stupid 2x4" two page manual, I decided to turn the card face down (trembling with fear !!) which worked!!! :devil:
I am just hopping that I haven¿t damaged the card :slight_frown:

I also got a new USB hub from them (as there is only 2 USB ports in my computer)
At the time of ordering I didn't realize it wasn¿t a High Speed one.
Do you think if I use the new hub to connect the CR which is a High Speed device; the computer will slow down even more? Because since I connected the Card Reader, the computer has slow down for everything else!!!

One more thing; what does it mean 12-in-1 Card Reader? when there is only 4 slots on the reader :thinking: ????

The hub will not slow down the PC.
As for 12-in-1 it means you can fit 12 different types of card into the 4 provided slots. Not all at once.
