Even if it doesn't pop up are you sure a new drive or existing drive cannot be accessed like L:\ or H:\ etc..?

Could be the card itself but do you have anything that can read an SD card like a Camera/Phone?. Can you not check on the Camera/Phone for the pics?.

I just meant does any new drive letter show up once the SD card is plugged in?.

Try a card reader if nothing else works.

Had this when I bought my dell. Turned out the data connector was very loose on the back of the card-reader unit. Pushed that back in and was all good.

Check you aint got an SD-HC card... Some SD card readers will not read them.

get a card reader off ebay

or as someone mentioned, use one of those card readers in boots (or one of those passport like machines you find in shopping centers)

Could also be a driver issue.

With the card in, do a right click on My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager and look if there any devices with yellow question marks next to them.

I still don't understand why you need a card reader? Surely you can plug the USB cable into your camera with the card in it to get the photos off of it.
