Problem: Using Ridata branded CF to PCMCIA adaptor i tried to put my 32M Compact flash card into PCMCIA adaptor and plug it into the notebook's PCMCIA slot. I thought it would do the usual windows recognition and load the appropriate drivers and a new drive letter would show up ?

But no drive letter showed up and nothing happens when i try to add new hardware -> pcmcia adaptor device

Any ideas how to get it working to recognise the CF card inside the PCMCIA adaptor ?

thanks
