    Tried inserting the SD card into my laptop (which worked when I had Windows Vista 1 day ago) and now, the little light no longer turns on, which would indicate that it works.

    I went on device manager and noticed that under "Other Devices" there is something called Mass Storage Controller with a small yellow caution symbol acompanied by it.

    Im assuming this is my SD card but windows cannot identify it.

    My laptop model is VGN-FZ290

    right click to this device > Properties. On the most right menu (Description) find his device id. Google this ID with words Windows 7 driver.

    Perhaps you will find it.
