HOWTO: Connect your MobyMemory MMC card via reader to PC This guide will explain how to connect your MobyMemory card to your PC via your memory card reader. We will assume you are connecting to a Windows PC (XP, 2000, or later). Older operating systems will require the card reader drivers to be installed first. There are 2 approaches to connecting your card to the PC: Automatic approach : Put your MobyMemory MMC into your card reader carefully and connect the card reader to the USB port of your PC. Windows should automatically open Windows Explorer window, when it notices a new drive device has been connected (your Windows may not be configured to automatically open Explorer. If this is the case, skip to Option 2). 
Now you can start working with your MMC card just like it was any other drive on your PC, with copy and paste commands, and drag-and-drop mouse actions. Remember the drive letter used for the MMC device (in this case – I: drive) as this is useful when it comes to navigating back to the drive (the 7-in-1 and 12-in-1 readers create a number of [Removable Drive] icons when connected, but only one of them is your MMC.) Manual approach: Second approach is a bit more controlled and user driven. Right-click on your mouse whilst hovering over the START menu in bottom-left. This will prompt the following menu to appear:
Chose the [Explore] option and [Windows Explorer] will open up. Now connect your memory card reader to a spare USB port on your PC. A series of new [Removable Drive] icons should appear to represent the different memory types that can be used with your reader. Now insert the MMC card into the reader in the MMC slot. The card will now be accessible for the standard file operations with copy and paste commands, and drag-and-drop mouse actions. Safely remove hardware. Before disconnecting your memory card or your memory card reader, ALWAYS follow these steps. Use the ‘safely remove hardware’ feature built into Windows. You can find it on bottom-right of your desktop in the Taskbar: it is the green arrow pointing left over a device.
Double click on the icon and the Safely Remove Hardware window will open up: 
Click on STOP, but if you have more than one hardware connected make sure you choose the correct USB device to stop.
Now you can disconnect disconnect the reader from the PC, and remove your MMC card from the reader. Hope this is useful for newbies out there.
