I have a multi-way adapter and when I plug that into the USB port either on the front or rear of my machine I can check the hardware config. That shows USB SD Reader as sdc.
Hmmmn, after reading the rest of this thread, are you sure that it's showing the SD part as sdc? It's very likely that along with many devices of this type that sdc will turn up as maybe the compact flash slot, sdd will be the memory stick, sde will be xD etc. etc. obviously it depends on the specific device in use as to where each type of reader turns up.
As you might have seen from later posts, it wasn't sdc in the end , it was sdg. If I look at the hardware list, sdg doesn't even appear. It stops at sdf. I only discovered it was sdg by running fdisk.
In reply to Wayne where he said :- dmesg after plugging in the reader and inserting the card should make it fairly clear what device the sd slot is on.
Sadly it doesn't for me. But that might be more a reflection of my abilities than anything else!
I'm still waiting for postie to deliver the replacement SD card with the image already on it before I want to play any more although I already had to fix a 32GB pen drive which I appear to have overwritten with Debian Wheezy which should have been destined for an 8GB SD card. D'oh!
