Picture Trouble with SD Card

Post by Eric VS9 »

Not really a Video Studio question but
I am trying to add pictures to my project.
I have a Kingston SD card that my computer won't read
I have tried many photo recovery program. with no luck
I quests the problem is because the computer does not recognize the drive letter
I have tried to format in dos and in computer management but windows thinks there is no card inserted
does anyone have any magic tricks or is the card toast ?

Are you using an external card reader, or one built into your PC? Have you tried another card to see if you can access it?

If you're using an external reader, try checking the connection, generally USB, to make sure it hasn't come loose.

If you are able to access another card, then I would say your card is toast. If not, then I would say there is a problem with the reader.

FYI, since this is not about VS, I moved it to the General Discussions, Imaging forum.

Have you tried connecting your camera to the computer rather than a card reader? Does your camera read the SD card?
