I have purchased an iriver ebook reader and have been unable to download to it. I have charged the battery through the USB, but my SD USB device (switched on) has not been recognised by my computer (also switched on). As OS is Windows XP, I thought that I might need to download a driver from the internet to my computer, but have been unsuccessful (only potential site also good source of spam!). Working in the dark as don't even know what firmware is. Presume it's more like hard drive than software?
I haven't bought a SD card as salesperson said that should be recognised anyway as device has manuals and one book on it (when purchased).
Under Device Manager on myComputer, I see that Drive 0 has been assigned for Generic SD USD readers, but that doesn't help as cannot drag/move file to this drive.
Can someone please help me?
