Title: Card reader Problems
Post by: scary-faery on July 30, 2009, 11:28:59 AM

Hi everyone, i had posted this on the bottom of a thread is started a few wks ago in software but not sure it's in the right section as it's not been replied to.
I had to buy a card reader for my new camera, when i plug it in and go to view pics as soon as i click on it in my computer it says card needs formatting do i want to format now? I click yes as when i click no it just sits there. It then comes up Windows could not format, i even tried this with my brand new card straight from the packaging, now when i put the cards in my camera they aren't showing up as in and i can't seem to copy pics to them? The card reader is new and a Belkin that reads multiple cards, has it ruined my cards? I really need to get this working for work, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tash

Probably a really dumb question
