    I have a Panasonic digital camera and I want to do the above. The card reader is shown as Drive 'F' and when I click on it the photos are there but when I insert the card back into the camera ' no valid picture' is dispalyed. I remember doing this before when I first got the camera but cannot remember how to do it. Can anyone help?

    Take a photo with the camera and check where the photo gets stored. Filenames could also be a factor, have you renamed the photos you are trying to copy back to the memory card?

    It might be folders on the card too? Mine has two I think, only one of which stores the actual photos. As suggested above, take a picture with the camera and navigate to it on your pc, then copy paste the other photos into whatever location the new photo is in. Not sure if its an issue, but worth a try at least..

    The photo's will be in a folder called F:\DCIM\100something (where 'something' depends on the make of camera). On an Olympus it'll be 100OLYMP and on my Nikon, it's 100ND70S.

    BUT ...sometimes camera software can be a bit picky about the exact file format. If you've manipulated the file in any way on the PC .. rotated it or something like that, and saved it without the original EXIF data, some cameras wil refuse to display it. It'll also fail if the internal embedded thumbnail has gone missing, again as a result of editing it on the PC.

    Just to add - it depends if you want them back on the camera itself or just on the memory card - as a portable storage unit. If it *is* the case that they're not showing due to editing as Alun suggests, but they're showing on your PC then they'll show on any other PC too.

    If you did edit did you save copies of the originals?
