Need to format the drive G to display the images on the memory card

Original title: WHERE IS G drive? And why my memory card no longer works?

I'm seeing pictures on my memory card. My windows vista says I need to format disk G, but it won't let me. When I look at the drive in my computer, it says card xD-Picture Card G. It said SD Canon. What happened and help? !!

Hi Camper17,

1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

Step 1:

You can try to change the drive letter and check if it helps.

Access the link below to learn more about changing the drive letter.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows-Vista/change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter

Step 2:

Also check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager

a. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.

b. Locate the device name in the list of Bus USB controllers.

c. If you see the item on to the SD card, right-click on it and click on uninstall.

d. restart the computer and check if that helps.

You can also connect the USB cable for the canon camera and see if it helps.

Hope this information is useful.

    You are able to use any other memory card with no problems on the same computer?

    Try to format it on another computer and check. If you are unable to format it on another computer then it is perhaps because of the corrupted memory card. You will need to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

  • Can not format the memory card

    Canon that PowerShot SX 10 IS reformatted not 16 GB SanDisk Ultra.  Camera says memory card error.  Everything else seems to work on the camera.  Is there a way to fix this?

    Your camera specifications say that it will work with the following cards, memory card SD/SDHC, MultiMediaCard, MMC Plus card, HC MMC Plus card.

    Some memory cards note their speeds by a "class." Canon cameras are recommended to be used with nominal class cards 4 to SD (Standard-definition movies) and class 6 for HD (high definition movies) or more because of the large amount of data written to the card. As long as map meets the following standards for the card, the memory card must be compatible regardless of class or the speed rating.

    SD

    Standard Secure Digital card supports up to 2 GB capacity.

    SDHC

    Secure Digital High Capacity currently supports up to 32 GB capacity.

    MMC

    Multimedia card supports up to 1 GB capacities.

    MMCPlus

    MultiMediaCardPlus supports up to 4 GB currently.

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Need to format the drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. I could use the same product key

    Original title: Windows 7

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.

    I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.

    Thank you

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  • PHANTON Drive; When I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.

    Hello

    I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files.  D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.

    Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.  I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.

    Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.

    Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

  • Sony camera and the memory card

    I imported a number of photos of my Sony Cyber Shot DSC RX 100 to my Windows 7 photo gallery. Somewhere in the process, I shot some of them. I imported directly from my memory card. Now when I try to view pictures in my camera, it says "cannot display" - the error message also said on another "unable to turn" screen. Does anyone have any ideas about what happened and I can recover these photos in original size on my card?

    Looks like you did with the camera connected to the computer and Windows to change the format (turn).  I don't think you can export these back to the camera.  With the large capacity memory cards, I suggest you not to change the pictures on the memory card and keep for a while before deleting.

    Suggestion:

    Do not connect your camera to your computer.  Buy a memory card reader - they are inexpensive.  In fact, most modern computers have a built-in SD card reader.   Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the drive.  Connect the player to your computer and treat it like any other thumb drive USB.  The card reader is small and fits easily in your case of the camera, much better that the cables and such.

    Much faster, without fussing over the drivers, no battery worries.  This also means that you don't have to install anything on any computer to be able to copy your photos.  It also lets you remove the lightening fast compared to in the camera memory card.  Most of the software that comes with cameras is terrible.

  • images dialog box is empty when you insert the memory card

    This is after you have inserted a card high capacity in the player, which hung the memory slot.  Now just insert a regular memory card, the dialog box appears, but there is nothing in it.

    Sorry if the info seems confused but maybe the
    answer is here somewhere.

    FWIW... There used a similar problem with a Sony memory
    Stick... the solution is to insert the stick into the drive and
    Restart the computer... somehow this would reset the
    stick.  I don't know if it will work for you.

    You may also check your AutoPlay settings...
    If you insert the card and go to... Start / my computer...
    and right-click on the drive letter for the location of in the map is...
    choose... Properties / AutoPlay tab...

    Choose... Mixed content...
    Tick... Select an action to perform
    On the left, click on the default button / apply / OK.

    Give it a try...

    It is possible that your media player is not compatible
    with the SDHC technology. The best is maybe to buy
    an external drive that is compatible SDHC or download
    Unit photo using a USB cable.

    Regarding the card... have regular SD, you tried to manually
    Download the pictures?

    If you connect the device to your PC via a USB cable, turn
    on the camera... then go to... Start / my computer... it may be
    listed as a drive letter...

    If_yes_right click on the drive letter and select... Explorer or
    Open... This should display the directory of the memory card.
    You can copy and paste or drag and drop the files from there to a
    folder on your hard drive.

    (The same steps work if you have a media player...
    When you go to... Start / computer... the media slots
    Drive should be listed under... "Removable disk" with a drive
    letter.)

    Finally... the AutoPlay Repair Wizard can be worth a try:
