Guest Uncle Ben Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 How can I get the PnpID off an Compact Falsh Card? I have a card reader connected to my desktop - I insert the card, look at properties, Device Manager ... can't find the pnpID. The card shows up OK in Explorer, can look at the content, do whatever, everything is working fine. I just need the PnpID for another application. Thanks!

A CF card in a card reader does not present a device ID, only the card reader does. You find its ID in the device manager under 'Disks'. But the ID stays the same when the card is changed. If the CF card is directly attached to IDE, then the disk's ID changes with the card. Uwe

There are no utilities out there that I could use to get the PnpID off that card then, none that you know of? Thanks, have a nice day.
