    Hello!

    I just got a M1330 laptop, got rid of Vista and installed Win 2k3 server. So far everything is working except for the card reader. Whenever I put a card in the slot, in "Device Manager" appears a little ! sign next to the correponding disk.

    Anyway, i already tried installing the XP version of the driver but it aín't working. So anyone knows hoe to get this working?
    Or even adapt the XP driver to make it work on 2003 ?

    Cheers!
    and thanks in advance ;)

    Just curious... Why are you running a server operating system on a laptop? Unless that laptop is now a server?

    i'm running a server OS on laptop because it's more stable than the workstation version (XP) and it's less loaded with 'pretty useless stuff'

    Server 2003 uses XP drivers. Server 2008 will use Vista drivers. Have you tried searching for drivers?
