+<title>My media card reader doesn't work</title>
+
+<p>Many computers contain readers for SD, MMC, SM, MS, CF, and other storage media 
+cards. These should be automatically detected and <link xref="disk-partitions">mounted</link>. Here are some 
+troubleshooting steps if they are not:</p>
+
+<steps>
+<item>
+<p> Make sure that the card is put in correctly. Many cards look as though they are 
+â??upside downâ?? when correctly inserted. Also make sure that the card is firmly seated 
+in the slot; some cards, especially CF, require a small amount of force to insert 
+correctly. (Be careful not to push too hard! If you come up against something solid, 
+do not force it.)</p>
+</item>
+
+<item>
+<p> Open <app>Files</app> by using the <gui>Activities</gui> menu. Does the inserted
+ card appear in the <gui>Devices</gui> list in the left sidebar? Sometimes the card appears in this list but is not mounted; click it once to mount. (If the sidebar is not visible, press <key>F9</key> or click 
+ <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui> Sidebar</gui><gui> Show Sidebar</gui></guiseq>.)
+</p>
+</item>
+
+<item>
+<p>If your card does not show up in the sidebar, click <guiseq><gui>Go</gui><gui>Computer</gui></guiseq>. 
+If your card reader is correctly configured, the reader should come up as a drive 
+when no card is present, and the card itself when the card has been mounted (see the picture below).</p>
+</item>
+
+<item>
+<p>If you see the card reader but not the card, the problem may be with the card itself. 
+Try a different card or check the card on a different reader if possible.</p>
+</item>
+</steps>
+
+<p>If no cards or drives are available in the <gui>Computer</gui> folder, 
+it is possible that your card reader does not work with Linux due to driver issues. 
+If your card reader is internal (inside the computer instead of sitting outside) 
+this is more likely. The best solution is to directly connect your device 
+(camera, cell phone, etc.) to a USB port on the computer. USB external card 
+readers are also available, and are far better supported by Linux.</p>
+
+<figure>
+  <desc>In the depicted <gui>Computer</gui> window, a correctly-configured card 
+reader is represented by three drives: <gui>CompactFlash</gui>, <gui>MemoryStick</gui>, and 
+<gui>SecureDigital</gui>. Only the SD card is mounted, and 
+is visible in the left column (where it says <em>31 MB F...</em>).</desc>
