A computer is rebooted every time it is turned off and back on. Did you mean
that you had to reload your operating system due to a major malfunction? If so, you also need to install the requisite drivers for your hardware to interface with the operating system. Go to the web page of your computer manufacturer and hunt down the drivers for your particular model computer. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "GIA08" wrote in message ...

Sorry, tried that, got nowhere. Even called Toshiba technical support, they
couldn't find anything wrong. Their only solution was for me to send it in to there technical repair for a charge of $400. and hope that they could resolve the issue that way. Otherwise they said it has to be something else. "Richard Urban" wrote: I told you what to do!

Go into Device Manager and remove each of the drives associated with the
slot reader. Reboot. See if the various drives are redetected correctly this time. If not it could be that the reader has gone south. External readers only cost about $20.00 and is way cheaper than having the computer rep[aired by the manufacturer. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "GIA08" wrote in message ...
