Hi John

After 3+ years of this issue being manifest and reported by users, the number of users facing the issue, the variety of their hardware, and successive versions of Windows making the issue worse, sorry but I don't consider your one-liner appropriate in those circumstances.

The card reader won't recognize any SD card that doesn't have the standard size, 32 mm by 24 mm by 2.1 mm. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader, on the left side of the MacBook Pro.

Is your MacBook Pro SD card reader not working? If its not mounting memory cards, here is a trick to fix it and get it working consistantly and reliably. There is an SD slot (SD/MD card reader) on the right side of the 13 inch Macbook Air as you are looking at the display. There is no slot on the 11 inch version.

I've raised the issue with Apple under bug ID 29809345

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7352538?start=0&tstart=0

here are some things Microsoft might do to help:

* Say WHY you think it is Apple's problem alone ie: technical details and contact history

* Investigate the posts I linked for details, and comment on them

* there's been similar problems with SD Card readers on non-Apple hardwares with both Windows 10 and Anniversary edition, say something about this and how it might affect our issue? In particular, can you suggest any workarounds?

* Say HOW you are prepared to help Apple rectify the issue (or what you have already done)?

* Post any technical assistance that may assist those solving the issue?

* Chase Apple on behalf of affected users

* Actively troubleshoot the issue in a lab

May I request further details please?

New Mac Problem

Classification: Serious Bug

Reproducibility: Always

Title: MacBook Pro Retina Bootcamp USB set address failed

Description:

For over three years now (see date of first post on first link below), a wide range of Macbook users have reported severe problems with the bootcamp SD card driver, we think for a particular Broadcom chipset. The issue got progressively worse with the release of Windows 10, and now with the Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (1607 release) the SD Card is inoperable: on boot we receive Set Address Failed (see last link for latest post) and no known workaround exists. Please see the following links for a large variety of users posting detailed reports on this issue:

Please see the following link for progression of the issue with Microsoft:

Please see the following links for a random selection of non-Apple and non-MS forum posts of users suffering from the issue

Steps to reproduce:

Boot into bootcamp on a Macbook pro Retina (other users have found the problem in Macbook Airs also - see posts) which uses the affected broadcom chipset, running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition. Try to access content stored on an SD Card using the inbuilt SD Card reader.

Expected Results:

Device Manager (and an OS-desktop popup) will show 'USB Set Address failed' as detailed in https://discussions.apple.com/message/31154740 and included in the attached files

On a previous version of Windows you may instead suffer the SD card not resuming from sleep or some lesser issue

See all the links mentioned. Note the number of users affected, the diversity of their hardware, the amount of time that has expired since reports came in and the perceived lack of faith from users in a resolution due to Apple and Microsoft (for whom users are both paid customers) not seeking to resolve the issue. Hence I would suggest this is very urgent.

I'm attempting to install Windows 7 to a 16GB SD card. While I know it's not quite practical, I do have a reason - I want to be able to browser test sites on IE 7/8(Browser compat mode is good enough) as well as IE9. However, I don't want to have 2 Windows installations taking up space on my already tiny 256GB MacBook Air.

I think I'd have no problems doing this with a virtual machine, but I'm stubborn and I think this would be pretty damn cool anyhow.

My initial roadblock is that I can't find the SD Reader's Windows 7 drivers. If I had this on a USB drive, I believe I could load the driver in Windows 7's installer, making the SD card appear as a installation choice.

I know I can create a bootable OS X SD card, so I'm clinging to that as evidence that I can do the same with the Windows 7.

I have downloaded the Bootcamp Windows 7 drivers, but A) they're all .exe's and B) I can't find the driver on the disk anyways (I believe Apple to be the SD reader manufacturer).

End Goal: Windows 7 on 2 SD cards as bootable devices, a backup of the installation on my external drive for quick re-creation of the SD cards.

So, TL;DR - Has anyone done this? And does anyone know how I can get the SD drivers for Windows 7?

Using a virtual machine you can build the system on the local drive then move the entire virtual over to the sdcard and run it from there. I currently do this with USB pen drives for the same reason. I test different applications and do not want several different versions on my harddrive. Yes they are slower but still work fine after they boot up.

Windows Setup will not permit you to install to media other than an IDE or SATA connected hard drive, regardless of what drivers you have. Therefore, it is not possible to install and boot a full Windows 7 environment from an SD card.

If you must boot Windows from an SD card, consider using Windows PE, a stripped down version of Windows 7 designed to boot from USB and optical media. You can use use command-line tools from Microsoft or third-party graphical tools to build a customized image with the drivers and programs you need. Please note that you may need to use another computer or virtual machine running Windows to get everything set up properly.

Windows PE is available free of charge to anyone with a valid Windows license as part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit.
