Device: Kobo Aura HD
card not seen in card reader

I opened the Kobo, put the card out and tried to mount it at my computer (Win XP). The card is not visible so I am not able to create an image from the original card or to write one to the card with the tools mentioned in the link.

Do I need a driver that my computer is missing or is my card reader just crap? I tried two readers and two sd cards (I have another Aura HD with broken screen). Both the same.

I tried the sd card from the reader with broken display to use in the new one with frozen screen -> works like a charm! So the sd card is the trick. But I want to backup the old card or use Davids image. I will try it tomorrow with a newer computer.

============================================

Finally the reader works again like a charm. Thanks again David for the image!

The internal SD card was no longer recognized by the computer. I really don't understand how an USB connection can damage the internal SD card this way.

I bought a new card and wrote the image to it -> works.

Next steps I plan: Dual boot with Android :-)

Cheers
Markus
