    You could try formatting the picture card.
    The computer may have formatted the card automatically after downloading the pictures if the option was selected in the wizard to erase the files after transfer.

    If was formatted to the wrong format for the camera it may be unable to read the card.

    It is best to format the card with the camera to ensure it is done tot he correct format for that specific camera.

    It is also possible that the card is defective.

    I learned a year back that just about all of the cards bought off ebay are actually counterfeit, and have no warranty.

    Many of these are simply smaller cards labeled incorrectly, some are just slower, but then there are some that are not reliable.

    Hope you didn't get one of these.

    First off, put the card in the computer, check to see if it works in the computer, if niott hen it is probably defective.

    If it does work find the correct format for you card and camera and try formatting it again.

    Put it in the camera and see if it works, if not then try a new card in the camera to see if the problem is actually the card or the camera.

    If the new card works the camera is fine, try phoning the manufacturer of the defective card, they will want you to give them the serial number from the card first ot ensure it is not a counterfeit.
