    As other's here have written...(a) Bad card.. (b) Unformattted card.. (c) I/O port is bad or contacts are bad.. (d) USB driver error on card reader.....That just the first 4 things that could be wrong....first thing to do is see if any other computer card reader will read the card....that will tell you if (a) or (b) are the problems.....if they read that OK go to the next set of checks to find problem.

    Check the lock option on the card, restart your computer and if the issue persists you might have a bad SD card. Always test with things that you know work, try the same card on a different computer if you have another one.

    The card is either corrupt or damaged. You can try formatting it by putting the card in, right clicking on the card and selecting "Format..." from the menu. Also, try another card to see if the reader is damaged.

    The driver maybe not supported by that kind of SD card or the card itself doesn't match with the drive.

    "E:\" by default is DVD drive on Windows.

    The speaking snake instructed Eve that they might grow to be like gods in the event that they ate the fruit, so for sure atheism had no longer something to do with it. after all, in those days God talked directly to Adam and Eve, so as that they'd not often be atheists. Atheism ought to in basic terms have been around considering he stopped making such appearances.
