I am using the Satellite A505-6005 and connected one Magellan GPS USB drive into that. Problem is that the drive is not getting detected in my laptop. I can find any reason for this problem and so I am posting here. I thought that this is problem with the card reader driver, so I updated that to the latest version but then also it makes no difference. Please help me friends.
There is one simple setting that you need to do in order to get this problem resolved. All you have to do is, go to start and from there open control panel. From all the items of the control panel, click on the folder option and select view tab. You will get one of the checkbox labeled as "Hide empty drives in the Computer folder". Just clear that checkbox and save the changes. After this, close the control panel and reconnect the SD Card Reader to check if that is getting detected or not. I don’t think this time you will have this problem.
I think that the system restore can solve the problem for you if the problem started recently. Just open the system restore from system utilities and follow the simple onscreen instruction for restoring. When it asks you for the date to restore of system then you will have to select the date when there was no problem with the system. It might take some time according to the configuration of your system but if this is due to some changes in the settings then it will be resolved.
