My camera memory cards when put into the computer card reader have suddenly changed from an EOS folder to an EKS folder and are unreadable. When I put it back in the camera the camera says it can't create folder. What is causing this? What do I need to do?
Have you tried formatting the card in camera? Always format cards in camera, don't just delete all photos.
If that doesn't work, format the card on the computer in FAT32 and then format in the camera.

Some card readers struggle with high capacity (SD-HC) cards and indeed some older devices.
If you (or a friend) has a lower capacity card (less than 2GB) try that in you camera and then pc.
You can purchase a VERY cheap USB card reader (c.£10 max) and it should sort your problem - I hope!

It sounds like you have some bent pins in the card slot. Take it to a reputable camera repair and they can look and tell you for sure.

Check the pins in the memory card slot. It sounds like a pin is bent causing a short.

Hi,
If the camera displays Memory card error or No Memory Card when a memory card is inserted or any of the above error messages, make sure that the card is inserted properly. If this is the case, you may wish to Format the memory card in the camera using the Setup Menu option [Format] as shown below. Please be aware that formatting the memory card will remove any images currently stored on the card along with any other data. This can also be caused when images shot with another camera are stored on the memory card.
If after formatting the card in the camera the error persists, try another memory card. If this occurs with only the one card it is likely that the memory card is defective, if the error persists over more than one card the camera may require service. If the card appears to be defective you may wish to contact the memory card manufacturer.
Thank you!!

Thank you to everyone who viewed my comment and responded. I have found the problem. The preinstalled card reader in my computer has failed. When my camera is connected directly or when I use my old card reader the images import and can be viewed as normal.
Problem has been solved. Thank you!
