NO PICTURES SHOW UP ON MY COMPUTER?

How come not all pictures show up when I plug my SD card into the computer?

• When I put pictures onto the computer using the SD card, only about 5 pictures show up and thats it. I have about 300 pictures on my memory card. Thanks

• Answer:

  I suggest to do this to both your computer and sd card. Windows XP: Your computer needs to be NTFS to see the large hdd, and to use files larger than 4 gig. If you computer is Fat32, then it will not see a large external or internal drive when the files in a folder on that drive add up to more than 4gb. The drive needs to be NTFS because when you start adding files to it, eventually it will freeze. Fat32 to NTFS ------------------- you can change the file system with out losing the data To Check your hard drive, flash drive or external hard drive do this. They ALL need to be NTFS to handle today's large size file addressing.. Open my computer, right click the drive >properties. In the pop up it will say FAT or NTFS in the file system. If its FAT you need to change it to NTFS to handle large files and drive sizes. Do it in this order: 1, Open my computer> right click the drive >properties >tools >check now >tick both boxes to clear the disk of any errors, then: 2. defrag the drive (tools) 3. Enter the convert command like this: say the usb drive is F: Click Start > Run > "convert F: /fs:ntfs /v /nosecurity /x" without the quotes. same for your C drive. (paste above convert command and change the drive letter) I have done this a lot and never lost any data. Just don't interfere or take risks. The biggest risk is a power failure while its doing it. It doesn't take long. If you find it doesn't do the conversion, then run Chkdisk to fix errors then try again. You can read about it in XP help files.
