    I recently inserted 2 separate SD cards in the SD slot so I could transfer data off of them onto my 700m. However, the laptop doesnt seem to pick them up. I've looked everywhere for help on this, or for a missing driver but I can't find anything. When I had the Inspiron 300m, I had the same problem, I couldn't get the Secure Digital Slot to work. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
    I'd appreciate any advice,
    Thanks!

    Go into the device manager and make sure the Card reader is listed there. My guess is the drivers arent installed for it. The drivers are listed on Dells website.
