After installing the media card reader and booting to Windows, the reader and the inserted cards are not recognized by the 
computer.
Cause Solution
The operating system needs time to recognize the device if the 
reader was just installed into the computer and you are turning 
the PC on for the rst time.
Wait a few seconds so that the operating system can recognize 
the reader and the available ports, and then recognize the media 
inserted in the reader.
After inserting a media card in the reader, the computer attempts to boot from the media card.
Cause Solution
The inserted media card has boot capability. 1. If you do not want to boot from the media card, remove it 
during boot or do not select the option to boot from the 
inserted media card during the boot process.
2. During POST (Power On Self-Test), press F9 to modify the 
boot menu.
3. Change the boot sequence in F10 Computer Setup.
