I can't see SD Card connected to PC

Hi,

I have Xperia Sola with microSD Kingston 16Gb class 10.

The problem is that when connecting to a computer, I see only the built-in memory ("Internal Storage"), but dont see SD card anywhere (Windows 7 x64)

In Device Manager on my PC i see device "Mass storage" (VID_0FCE&PID_A173) with yellow triangle (it means drivers not found, i google it but find nothing), perhaps this is reason?

At the same time i can see this card on phone via Settings - Memory and via Astro File manager (the card is showed as ext_card)

What do you advise that I could see SD Card via PC? (sd card must be inserted into xperia sola Slightly_smiling_Face )


Thank you

so after you reformat the SD card your phone recognize it but not your computer?

install SUS then restart your computer, run it as if you were going to repair it so your PC can download the drivers.
