Well i can`t figure it out,when i was running the beta version all my media card readers showed up in ;comp/devices with removable storage and now iv`e installed win 7 professional only the dvd/cd drive shows up.

I have scanned for hardware changes in device manager/uninstalled them all and let them reinstall on boot up but still no luck.

Hi,

 

Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options. Find these settings on the View tab in Folder Options.

Clear the Hide empty drives in the Computer folder check box, and then click OK. (This option doesn’t affect empty floppy disk drives, CD drives, or DVD drives.)

Don't worry many users have problem with that. :smileyhappy: It's just a bad default setting.
