When I got my new gateway laptop I refomatted it complelty with a XP Pro Disc. The laptop has a slot on the side for putting in the type of card's that go into digital cameras. Currently when I put a card in nothing happens so I am assuming that because there are no drivers for my "mass storage controller" that this slot will not work. Gateway has no drivers for it unless I roll back using there restore disk which would put XP pro on my computer. Where can I get these drivers? Thank you.

Well if gateway doesn't have them your next step would be to go to the manufacturer of the card reader. you can try everest home edition as it MIGHT be able to id it. Not sure as I've never used it for that type of hardware...
