built-in SD card reader driver error

The SD card is recognized and I'm ask what the computer wants me to do with it.  But I can't drag anything onto it or download pictures from another one.  When I try the message comes up that there's a problem with the driver.  So I click "Fix driver".  Then I'm told it is working---Until I put the card in again, then it all starts over.  I bought a new SD card thinking maybe it was possible that I had damaged 4 cards, not so.  So, I've updated the driver numerous times and turned the PC off and on numerous times and I'm still receiving the error message: 0x800701B1   Help please

    Thank you for wanting to help but I've already tried this process and at #3 there is no option to cahnge the drive so it ends there.  As far as I know anyway.

    Has the built-in card reader worked properly before? Do you remember doing anything prior to the problem, like installing windows update?

    You said that it recognizes your SD cards, have you tried re-assigning a new drive letter? If not, try the steps below:

    1. Right-click on Windows Start Menu.
    2. Click Disk Management to open the Disk Management console.
    3. Right click on your SD card drive and select Change Drive Letters and Paths.
    4. Click Change Drive Letter And Paths.
    5. Click the Change button to name a new drive letter. Ex: L. (do not use ‘A’ or ‘B’)
    6. Click Ok.
    7. Click Yes if a popup window asks you if you really want to do this.
    8. Restart your computer and check if the error is gone with the changed drive name.
