Page 1 of Missing from My Computer

A strange thing has happened this last week....

I have a PC with built in 4 card reader for SD/MS etc, and I could view all of these removeable media drives from My Computer.
Since some time last week these are no longer visible, from my computer, can not be found via explore, and cards are no longer ecognised when I put them in.

Is there any way they may have been disabled by mistake, and how would I rectify?

I have restored the PC to a point when I knew they worked, and I have used the trobleshoot to look for known problems, but now a bit confused.

Is this more than likely a HW fault?

Hi

I might be wrong but usually card readers are connected via the usb pins inside so are the usb sockets working ? are the usbs enabled in the bios? are the motherboard drivers for the usb if separate loaded and working.? Look in the system area for yellow ? marks for problems.

If all that seems ok then i dont know.

bye

Thanks
USB sockets are working fine.
No problems are reported when checking HW via troubleshooting. They used to work up till a week or so ago so not sure why not now.

Not sure how to check the BIOS?
