I tried two micro cards with the same problem. I have installed all Dell Drivers but somehow the card reader is being recognized but the cards do not seem to be formatting. The Device Manager does not show that there is a problem with the device.

There is a slide-switch on the cards to write protect them... Make sure it is in the proper position: to allow writing. &nbsp;If so, perhaps the sensor in card reader in the laptop is bad.<br />
<br />
Simple solution: pick up a USB card reader for about $5-$10 as a replacement.

USB Card Reader

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
