I've got a Multi-I/O device installed in my desktop (different size flashcards, USB, SATA, etc.). There is no manufacturer label on it. I've got a CD that came with it that has a lot of different drivers, but there's no built-in program to load them automatically.

How do I go about loading the desired drivers so my computer can operate the Multi I/O device? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go to the website of the system manufacturer...and see if there are clues or updated drivers available for that particular device (which came installed as part of your system).

System manufacturer and model?

Verify you actually need drivers in device manager. If you have a yellow exclamation mark next to your Multi I/O device, right click on it and update drivers, specify your CD drive when it asks for drivers. Most multicard/usb/ESATA readers I have installed needed no drivers.
