If you can find the Kobo device in the list, right-click on it and select "Uninstall selected devices". Then plugin the Kobo and see what happens. If it still doesn't work, have a look at what USBView says about it. |
Will try this tonight to see if it solves my particular problem. but in the meantime if somebody who has experienced a similar issue wants to chime in... Seems more like a PC issue though.
This is the situation:
Hardware:
Ereader Kobo Aura 6' with latest firmware, Sandisk 16gb Micro SD card , PC with Windows 7 64bit.
Facts:
Aura recognizes SD card, reads from it.
PC recognizes SD card when I connect it through a Micro SD to USB adapter, can copy/delete and read files from it. (yes I did a re-format with the SD Card Formatter)
PC recognizes the Aura when
no SD card is present in the dedicated slot, Kobo Desktop and Calibre work flawlessly.
Issue:
When I connect the Aura to the PC (via USB cable) with the SD Card inserted in its slot my PC hangs after recognizing the KOBO (but not the SD card as a separate drive). I never had similar issues with my other ereader, android phone, camera or flash drives.
And yes, I tried plugging the Aura in another PC (Windows 7 32 bit), both the reader and the SD card got recognized as separate external drives, so I assume the problem is my PC. Any advice?
