    How do you use the card reader? I dont know which program I have to use. I tried downloading o2media card reader from drivers but it didnt work, I have a card in there right now and its doing nothing.

    Go to device manager and see if the driver is installed.

    If you downloaded the o2 media card reader drivers but it didnt work, why would you expect the slot to work. You MUST install the drivers before you can use the SD slot.

    If you downloaded the correct drivers you simply need to go to Device Manager, right-click on the Mass Storage Controller, click Update Drivers. Then simply show the wizard where the drivers are and let it install them.

    i had the same problem with my 6860 a little while ago. I tried reinstalling the drivers, system restore, and tried to see if it showed up under the boot menu at start up. Since none of those worked and didn't show up at all i removed the CMOS battery for a minute, put it back in, logged in and windows started installing it.
