After installing the Windows 8.1 over Windows 8, I am no longer able to save to F: drive - media card reader.  The drive is not shown under devices and drives.  The Troubleshooter as recommended in other posts could not fix the problem.

    Hi. I have the same problem with my sd card. I have checked it using my mothers windows 7 laptop and it works fine. Not opening on my Windows 8.1 laptop though. I have only had this laptop for a week but have spent the last 3 days trying to get this working. I have installed all the drivers for my HP G2 255 Notebook and have no luck. I have tried running the troubleshooting and it just keeps saying "Hardware changes may not have been detected". I have looked in device manager and found the card reader and it says it is working fine so why does my memory card not open when inserted?

    Please, please can someone tell me how to fix this! I have tried everything I can think of and also what has already been suggested here.

    Many thanks

    I'm having memory card problems also.    The photos upload differently, box has German Writing on it,  photos no longer save into an album just separate AND my videos are not recognized or uploaded with the photos at all.  Whats up.  Windows 8.1 took over my computer two days ago and did it's upload with out me aking it too.  Can I uninstall it somehow and go back to how the photos uploads and storage worked before.  And the guy talking about the F file is correct,    my isn't showing either.
