Ahh thanks! As I said in my first posting, I have never previously used the card reader in all the time I have owened the Dell PC. I actually can't remember exactly when I bought the PC (which suggests that it was probably more than 3 years ago) so I guess that is the answer. I have tried googling the information that lsusb gave me: TEAC Corp. All-In-One Multi-Card Reader ID 413c:2003 Dell Computer Corp But I have not yet been able to find anything definative. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I guess I have two choices the next time I need to write the disk image for the Pi: 1) buy an external card reader or 2) keep using my work windows laptop (strangely, also a Dell and also >3 years old - But I guess it is simply a different type of card reader). Thanks again.
