go to control panel -> system and security -> system -> device manager. that has a list of all the hardware on the computer, look for any items that have X ! or ? next to them. Could be that you don't have a driver loaded for that device.
Well if the inbuilt card reader does not recognize the SD/MMC card then we need to perform certain troubleshooting steps which are as follows:
1>click on start
2>In start search box type DEVMGMT.MSC
3>As soon as the device manager window opens up locate an option which reads as UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONTROLLERS
4>There would be a + sign next to the same, click on it and then try locate a driver which reads as REALTEK SD CARD READER driver or JMB38X MS SD SD/MMC xD Card Reader Driver.
5>Right click on that driver and then click on uninstall
6>Locate a tab which reads as ACTIONS at the top, click on it and then click on then click on SCAN for HARDWARE CHANGES.
7>try installing this driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-73184-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3818852&os=2093&lang=en
Thanks....this is going to be an ongoing problem for a while.....all the drivers haven't been officially released...but, since windows Vista and Windows 7 use the same core, I am thinking you may want to try and use the Vista drivers for the card reader. Below is the link to that model laptop....put in the operating system because you didn't specify whether you had the 32 or 64 bit OS. I would guess you went with 32 bit but you never know. Anyway, look for the card reader under driver downloads and give it a shot. While you are in these driver files, think about updating your BIOS on the laptop if you have not done it. There is an update for the BIOS dated 10/07.
