Well thanks for the insult. This is an internal card reader. If it were an external reader that allowed for multiple cards as the same time (multiplexing), then yes, all I would do is remove it and reinsert it. But, it is obviously not, so no, I cannot open the computer and, while it is running, fiddle around weakly connecting SATA cables to undo a USB connection on my motherboard and plug it back in, making sure I don't mess up and destroy my motherboard.

Well thanks for the insult.  This is an internal card reader.  If it were an external reader that allowed for multiple cards as the same time (multiplexing), then yes, all I would do is remove it and reinsert it.  But, it is obviously not, so no, I cannot open the computer and, while it is running, fiddle around weakly connecting SATA cables to undo a USB connection on my motherboard and plug it back in, making sure I don't mess up and destroy my motherboard.
