I have the stupid question of the day I believe. I got a lexar flashcard reader as a gift. I plug it into my firewire port and put a card in. The reader lights up like its ready to do all sorts of cool things. I check the 1394 connection and it shows 400mbs. All is well....except silly me doesnt know how to access the data? I thought when I got it it would be like usb in that one of the drives on the pc would open up. For my computer for exampe when I put in a flash drive J: opens. But nothing happens. Is that normal and its elsewhere? Is there something wrong? Am I an idiot? 2 out of 3? :rofl
I tried accessing it through Lightroom as well to see if it recognized it but nothing. Thanks for any help on this. I have been reading Wikis and tech sites til im sick of it.

If pc go in to control panel and ee if you can manually install from the install new hardware tab........
Sorry for the lack of useful information.
LEXAR DOWNLOAD PAGE.............remember to te it that the hardware is already installed.........
Lexar does have top notch customer service and can normally check things out over the phone / internet.
I should have looked closer at their driver list. even tho these items are plug/play and do not require drivers Ihave found instances I have ahd to go to the mfg'ers website and get drivers even tho Win XP said it ahd the best already in use and by doing such fixed whatever was making it not operate correctly.
Very glad taht an exchange of product will fix yor prob.
