Not sure if this should go here or in disk storage so Ill let a mod move it if they feel its more appropriate over there.
This problem is intermittent and not dependant on mobo, CPU, etc. Ive had this USB cardreader/floppy (floppy is standard floppy connection) internal reader for, um, a long ass time. It gives me trouble every format and and random intervals thereafter. The thing just doesn't detect. The floppy side is fine, drive shows, reads (I think, never use it), etc. But the cardreader doesn't show up in my computer. Its not the cable either, as it will come back without messing with anything inside.
No apparent reason, and Ive never pinpointed a causation, as I dont use it all that often and when the drives (2) are missing, if Im not using it I dont pay enough attention to notice the drives are missing. The drives eventually seem to come back and detect fine for a while. Its just really annoying when you want to trasfer files (of course, I have a reader on my printer if I need to) and the drives are missing.
Any ideas as to why it might disappear/re-appear at random intervals? And how to fix it?
