Dell vostro 1510 mass storage controller drivers

[Ade]

Hello

Despite the fact that Dell does not provide driver for Windows 7, I installed the 64 bit on my vostro 1510.

I have 2 problems:

1) no recognition of my sd card reader
2) in device manager, it remains a "storage device mass unknown" marked
location PCI bus 8, device 5, function 3
identification number of the hardware: PCI\VEN_1217&DEV_7130&SUBSYS_02731028&REV_01

I updated with windows update. and there is no driver for this device. I'm going to update all my driver on Every other drivers. I have download and install the driver of the sd reader vostro 1520 in windows 7 64bits without problem recognized in device management in a subset named host sd card but not at my laptop or when I get a card, I keep more still my "storage device" marked unknown, All is enabled in the bios.

I don't know what to do. Thanks for any help.

Well if they don't provide drivers for windows 7 then use the windows vista drivers. I also use the windows vista drivers in my windows 7, although i don't have laptop its my own assemble pc. But windows vista drivers should work in windows 7. Try to install windows vista drivers in windows 7 using compatibility mode. And remember that download only windows vista 64 bit drivers since you are using windows 7 64bit. Hope this will resolve your issue.

Since they only providing drivers for windows vista 32bit and windows xp, i'll advice you to switch to windows 7 32bit and download and install the windows vista 32bit drivers which should work without any issues.

However, to install those drivers under seven, try right-clicking the installer and select the "troubleshoot" and last box down (a problem not listed), then select vista sp2.

A try, possible that this driver is compatible with windows vista. For the 32-bit, no worries on a 64-bit OS, there's plenty of 32-bit software that pass on the 64, so try your luck with it.

If you have a Vista SP1 disk SATA drivers are on him and he must have found, but if your disk is SP1 without problems then this is the reason why the error store mass.So if you have vista disc then extract sata drivers form it and use them in windows 7. Otherwise try out the vostro 1520 they might work.
