+<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 
+�upside down� 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>

 <title>What is a driver?</title>
 
-<p>There are lots of different devices that can be attached to your computer. These can include things that are attached to it externally, like printers and monitors, to things that are inside the computer itself, like graphics cards and sound cards.</p>
+<p>Devices are the physical "parts" of your computer. They may be <em>external</em> like printers and monitor or <em>internal</em> like graphics and audio cards.</p>
 
 <p>In order for your computer to be able to use these devices, it needs to know how to communicate with them. This is done by a piece of software called a <em>device driver</em>.</p>
 
-<p>When you attach a device to your computer, you must have the correct driver installed for that device to work. For example, if you plug-in a printer but the correct driver isn't available, you won't be able to use the printer. Normally, different makes and models of device have different drivers, so you can't use the driver for one device to try and get a different device to work.</p>
+<p>When you attach a device to your computer, you must have the correct driver installed for that device to work. For example, if you plug in a printer but the correct driver isn't available, you won't be able to use the printer. Normally, each model of device uses a driver that is not compatible with any other model.</p>
 
-<p>On Linux, the drivers for most devices are installed by default, so everything should just work when you plug it in. Some devices don't have drivers, however, so may not work. You might need to install the correct driver yourself, or the correct driver may not even be available!</p>

-<p>In addition, some drivers are incomplete or don't work properly. In this case, some of the features of your device may not work; for example, you might find that your printer can't do double-sided printing.</p>
+<p>In addition, some existing drivers are incomplete or partially non-functional. For example, you might find that your printer can't do double-sided printing, but is otherwise completely functional.</p>
