    Basically I don't know what I did but when I insert my sd reader nothing shows up. Nothing is broken or anything it just doesn't show up. What do I need to do in order for my computer to see it?
    Thank you in advance.
     
  2. Im not a 100% sure but as far as USB readers and memory cards go , my experiance is, if it doesnt show up , either the drivers or the product is faulty / currupt, I would say reinstall the drivers but SD readers dont have any i dont think.
    Sorry i couldnt help more

    Are there any error message after you insert it?

    and have you tried it on other computers?

    try a different USB port (if your usb ports are in stacks of 2 like most are, don't bother trying the other one in the same stack because they're logically the same port).

    Aren't you suppose to right click on my computer and check "Devices?"

    When it worked, and when you took it out, did you "Safely Remove Hardware"?

    Well, when I was opening my ds folder(inside the sd reader) I also tried dragging in this game and then I pressed a button. After that it just stop. It's not broken or anything.

    This happened to me a lot and I basically just put it into different USB ports. Sometimes, that doesn't work for me so I remove the microSD card for a few minutes and try again.
    If that doesn't work, restart your computer.

    Try a new card reader first. They tend to go bad.
