Well, in my case it was the 5-in-1 card-reader that had not even a micro SD card in it, but only the adapter!  After reading this thread, I checked my DVD drive and there was nothing there.  I then saw the card adapter sticking out of the slot, removed it and voila!  Thanks  for your help everyone -- I probably wouldn't have gotten it so fast if it weren't for the previous posts :)
