Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern here in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 family. I would be happy to assist you.

From  the description provided, I understand that the PCMCIA Card is not detected in Windows.

Please perform the below suggested methods and see if it helps to resolve the issue.

Method 1

Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter:

a)      Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.

b)      Click on Troubleshooting tab.

c)      Click on view all option on the upper left corner.

d)      Select the Hardware and Device options from the list.

e)       Click Next to run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter.

Method 2

If the above recommendation did not help, please try to perform the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1

Try to download and run the Fixit tool from the link below.

Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows:

Step 2

Try to download the drivers for the device using the Windows device driver update.

Alternatively, if the update fails to register and download the requisite drivers for the device, you can also use the vendor id of the device and look for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog.

FAQ: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/FaqGeneric.aspx

Unknown and uninstalled devices will be listed under Other. The device will have a yellow alert symbol on it. The properties for the device will show that no driver was found.

Under the Device Properties, select the Details tab and scroll down to Hardware IDs. Each Hardware ID is comprised of some very useful information. The VID value provides the vendor ID and the PID value provides the Product ID of the device. Make a note of the PID value. Enter the PID value in the search box of Update Catalog. In cases where you have multiple device types listed, narrow down your search by also adding in the VID value.

Once downloaded and extracted, you can point Device Manager to this driver to install the hardware.

Please keep us posted on the status of the issue. If it still persists, we would be happy to help you further.

Thank you.

My Microdrive PCMCIA Card is detected the driver is install its just not showing up in
File Explorer. Its a bit like the windows 8 problem with the dvd drive not showing up in File Explorer and the only way to get it to show up was to do a registry hack.
