igorsk: thanks. Love a clear set of steps to follow. What I got was 3 items: My primary C: drive, my external Maxtor drive E: and then a 3rd line labeled "System reserve". This was only 70 MB and when I select it, the description reads Healthy (Boot, Page file, Crash dump, Primary Partition). I don't see anything of the appropriate size or label in the list. I do appreciate the things to try...
My laptop immediately recognized my reader & downloaded a few drivers. I'm wondering if there is a way to view those? When I google for drivers on this I only get the latest version of the software and that doesn't do anything. Because the Vista laptop spent that time (& succeeded), it makes me think that the Windows 7 just didn't find the right driver (it did spend a good bit of time looking ... that I eventually stopped).
