Perhaps you have the new High Density SD card (it will say HD on it if so)

A LOT of old card readers cant read that type of card.

Best solution is to buy a new card reader or alternativly use the camera cable.. (assuming its a camera). Another solution is to reinstall the car reader software or to download Gpartet and reformat the Sd card.

How do you copy memory card to memory card?

HI. let 's define the SD memory card as a portable disk which is meant to carry different types of files and data. there are also other types of cards like MMC, micro Sd, mini SD... In order to copy data from your computer to the SD card, a connection should be established first. there are mainly two known ways of connecting the Card to the Computer. 1. Connect via USB Data Transfer Cable : your SD card should be in it's support (the device that is supporting it, for example a mobile phone...) then the support is linked to the computer via the USB cable. 2. Transfer via Card reader : A device which resembles the slot entries found in satellite receivers. you simply plug your SD card into the entry "SD Card" and it's done, the computer will read it. Once your Operating System (it should be Windows XP, Vista or Linux) has detected the plugged SD card it will automatically open it in a new window, you can simply drug and drop from the computer to the SD card by dropping the selected files (from compter) inside the SD card open window. I hope that te answer helps you.

Need software to import photo from Pentax Optio s5i?

If upon connecting the camera to the computer with a USB cable, the computer recognizes the camera, you don't need additional software to access the camera's contents. All you need is to open My Computer and see the camera files from there. If the camera fails to get recognized by the computer, get a cheap USB card reader and use that to connect the camera's memory card to the computer. You will also use My Computer to see the files.

How do you move photos from memory card to flash drive?

==Windows== One needs to plug the flash card into the computer in some way. If it is USB, simply plug it into the USB port in the back or front of your tower. If it is an SD card, you'll need a "Card Reader" in order to put it in. Most USB flash drives are "Plug & Play" in that they should install within 10 minutes of being plugged in to the PC. After, head on over to "My Computer" and you should see a "Removable Disk Drive" or "Removable Drive" or similair, open the drive as you would a folder (double click it) and drag and drop files. ==Mac== A USB icon will appear on your desktop after the flash drive is plugged in. It looks similair to a Hard Disk icon but is white. Open it, and drag and drop files onto it.


How do i get my pictures from my PC to a memory card?

Connect the card to the computer (either slide it into the built-in card slot or use a USB card reader). Open the memory card (it should show up as drive E or F). Open the folder containing the pictures, and simply 'drag and drop' them to the card. It should copy (rather than move the files)
