Transferring photos to sandisk mini flash drive and it’s so very slow... it advertises as fast... how can I make it go fast?

2gb memory card show only 121mb

Hi,

What Error do you get when you try to save into your flash drive?

if you are downloading and saving it directly into your flash drive then it is best to save it to your desktop first before transferring to your Flash drive.

Your system will automatically recognize your sandisk and will automatically install the drivers for it (this will show on the time taskbar located at the lower right side of the screen). After successfully loading the drivers you can now access your usb drive by going to My computer and should have the drive letter after your cd/dvd drive.

WinXP uses its own driover for USB drives like this so as long as you have the latest updates installed that should be OK.

Make sure you are doing nothing else with the computer when transferring the file.

Check and make sure you have at least double the amount of free hard disk space as you are transferring.

Reformat the flash disk completely and tyhen run a checkdisk on it specifying to report and fix all errors.

Try defragmenting the hard drive so temporary files can be laid down contiguously.

See if there is a BIOS update for your motherboard.

Yes sir , for sure.
For transferring pictures u can use usb flash drives.

Insert the drive into the pc copy and paste the files/pics.
safely remove it.
Now insert it on your laptop, and u can copy the files.

The flash drive will be represented like a new drive in my computer.

Enjoy....

I have the same camera. The little red light flashing is normal. It should flash for about a second and then go out. I believe the camera is reading the SD card during this time. If you turn on the camera with no SD card present this light should not flash. It sounds like you’re having problems transferring pictures from your camera to the computer. I'm guessing you’re using the USB cable that came with the camera to connect to the computer. I don't have an exact fix for this problem; it could be a defective cable or connector. However, I do have an alternative way for you to download your photos that I believe will work even better for you. Buy one of those mini SD card readers with the USB port adapters. The one I have is made by SanDisk and is called the MicroMate. Here's a link so you can see what it looks like. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(2018)-SDDR-113-A11-MicroMate_for_SDHC.aspx When you want to download your photos just unplug the SD card from your camera, insert it into one end of the SD card reader, and plug the other end into a USB port. The computer recognizes it as a flash drive. Then you can just copy from one drive to another. I find it to be much faster then using the USB cable to download photos. I hope this helps you out.

If it's been running for two hours or more it is not cynchronizing with your computer. You need to remove it from the USB port, wait a second or two, and then plug it in again. Once it comes up, check it for files. If it downloaded any files they are likely corrupt, so you will need to delete them and start your download again.

Download software unlocker install it to access the photos inside the card .

Did you eject it through the software or pulled it out of the USB
This is very common the flash drive recommends that you do this so that your data is saved
