The card should show up as a drive under your "my computer" sometimes computers get confused, and you need to assign a card a drive letter (this may be possible, but unlikely on your laptop). If this is however the case, you need to right click on the my computer icon, and select manage, find the "disk management" option from the window that opens and see if you can see the cards size in the right hand lower portion of the screen, make sure you have the right storage "disk" and assign it a drive letter if it doesnt already have one, immediately, the drive should appear under your my computer if it wasnt there already.
Reply:It should show up as a removable drive in "my computer". If it is bigger than 1GB many computers can't read them properly. I found this out the hard way(I have a 2GB sd card). I can however use it if I put it in my mp3 player and hook that up to my computer.
Reply:press the card in and it should pop out. Now you can see it.
