Why can't my computer can't detect my external hard drive?

Help i cant get my pics from my digital camera into my computer?

  • i tryed already but cant the computer dosent detect it and i dont know wat to do ps i used a usb drive

  • Answer:

    You used a usb drive? When all is connected, turn the camera on. Windows will detect new hardware. Open the Folders like DSCM etc. When the photos appear just right click and copy. In a new Folder right click and Paste.

Does your camera have a removable memory stick (e.g. SD)? and also does you computer (or printer if you have one) have a slot for said memory stick? If you answered "yes" to both of these questions then you could simply put the memory stick into the slot and copy the photos from that. If the slot is in your printer: 1: put the stick in the slot 2: a box should pop up asking you what to do with the found memory stick (for windows atleast) 3: select the option that resembles "open in windows explorer", it should have a picture of a folder next to it. 4: the rest should be self-explainitory. If your camera has a removable memory stick, but your computer doesn't have a slot for one, DON'T WORRY!. You can probably go to the local library and they might have a computer with a slot for the memory stick. First, don't open the files from the memory stick, instead go to your web-based email account and send an email to yourself with the photos attached. This will prevent any chance of you leaving your photos on the public computer for anyone to see. Next, go back home and check your email. You should have (atleast) one new email. (Wow, I'm psycic). Open the email and download the files. Hopefully they shouldn't contain any viruses or other malware. And there u go, your photos are now on your computer. Tada! Hope this helped!
