computer doesnt see my integral card reader

ok can you please have the device empty, if there was a card in there then take it out and wait 10 seconds

Push in a card into the reader then run this command and provide the output:

dmesg | tail; sudo fdisk -l; mount

Thanks

Hi thanks for replying however i cant work out how to type in the vertical line after dmesg there are 3 symbols on that key and i can only get the other 2 to work
i know its probably simple but ive tried all combinations i can think of

thanks

You don't need to type it, you can paste to the terminal, thats why i gave you the whole command

sorry bout this, seems to be recognising the reader now
but is asking for my password which i am unable to type in

thanks

when you type passwords, there is no screen feedack to hide the password length. Type your password and it will work.
This is because the partition is being mounted which cannot be done by users.

This is what i am getting now but still cant find reader in computer browser

Thanks

if it doesnt show up in fdisk then the partition isnt active. You may have to read through the entirety of:

dmesg | less

to see whats going on. You may also need to disable acpi or dma to get the device activated in the OS.
