This can happen if the proper driver for this device is not installed or that the USB stick is damaged. If proper driver is not installed go to control panel-hardware-device manager & locate the device and update/reinstall the driver. If it still does not work plug your USB stick on any other computer & if it works then format it once & try again on your laptop.
If you say yes to format, then it will overwrite all your pictures. What you are running up against is the current format on the card is not the same as your operating system. Is there another way to transfer your pictures to the computer, maybe an USB cable. That way, you can get your pictures off of it and then format if you wish to match the computer. Another thing to try would be to try the card in another computer if you have access to one.
SDHC cards are a very different animal under the skin to a standard SD card and so they're not back compatible with plain SD card readers (although SD cards can be used in SDHC devices).
It's possible it was just subjected to a static shock and got scrambled. As long as the data previously on it was not important to you, you can re-initialize the unit (provided it has not been physically damaged).
In Applications/Utilities, launch Disk Utility. Plug in the USB stick. Choose the stick by name in the left side panel, and click the Partition tab. Choose 1 partition. In Options, choose GUID Partition Table. Click Apply. This should reinitialize your stick.
How "full" is the hard-drive? Perhaps, you could have only a few gigabytes to be "saved".
Click Start
Click My Documents
Click Edit
Click Select All
Right-mouse click on any of the highlighted items.
Click Properties.
Windows will report on the size (megabytes/gigabytes) of all the selected documents and folders.
Perhaps, you can buy 4GB or 8GB or 16GB USB memory-stick,
and manually copy your 'My Documents' files/folders to that memory-stick.
Or, use the "Windows Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to "collect" all your files & E-mail, and write an "export" file to that memory-stick.
Then, on the "new" computer, run the same Wizard, and "import" from the USB memory-stick onto your new computer.
tyr looking for a firmware or an update on the net for your memory card reader. It should be easy to find. And update. Since the flash memory card isn't the problem it's either your card reader is too old and can't support that size of card or the reader need an update.
call your camcorder manufacturer and inquire for a firmware that supports the memory stick. chances are its not compatible with the camcorder since this handles large memory.\
