I took some still pictures with my Canon camcorder and they are okay
because I can see them on the camcorder. I bought a little SD card reader
and plugged it into the computer and when I double click on it on Windows
Explorer I get a popup that says this disk is not formatted, want to format
it? If I say no, nothing happens. If I say yes, won't I lose the
pictures?
Some camcorders (and indeed cameras) format memory cards in a manner not
quite compatible with Windows. The usual cure (but not without loosing
what's on the card) is to reformat the card in Windows. The card should
work in the camcorder.
Better still, connect the camcorder to the PC via its supplied USB cable.
This way, the camera takes care of any formatting problems.
