Jerry et al. Thanks for the response. The I think that the problem was down to dirty contacts with the USB/ MicroSD card adaptor. Managed to get some IPA on a tissue into the card reader - whilst disconnected!!! - and ditto wiped the contacts on the micro SD card and let evaporate. Then card into adapror and then into USB port and all came up pronto 
However, for the records, neither my SD card adaptor or the separate micro sd card adaptor show up on the desktop when plugged in and a card is not inserted. The SD card reader had a green LED that lights up , so presumably "detected"? The Micro SD card adaptor has no ligh to show it is working. Is this to be expected??
BTW, I too have found that the SD cards need to be inserted beforehand to get reliable detection.
Thanks again.
