Remove the memory card from camera, put it into a reader and connect the reader to the computer via the usb port. Then using windows explorer locate the folder where your pictures are, create a new directory in your computer hard drive, and Copy the pictures you want into your hard drive.
You have not specified what software you are using to connect the camera. I use a program from Canon, that by default places pictures in a directory called downloads and then in one with the date. Save a picture from your camera. If it looks like you are downloading somewhere, and if you are on a windows machine, then use windows search with advanced search function. Under windows XP:
Click Start>Search>For Files or Folders
Click When was it modified
Click Specify dates [Defaults to changed today]
Click Search
This will give a list of files modified today. If you view the search results in detailed format, and twice single click on "Date Modified", then the top entry will be the most recently modified. You should see your new pictures and the directory they were placed in.
First, access the "Windows Update" service and stop it at "Start-Run-type
'services.msc'.. Next, create a new directory
"C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.old", then move the contents of
"C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" into that folder (cut & paste), and
then trying "Windows update" again. Running Windows Update should create new,
uncorrupted contents for the directory.
(Sometimes it's easier to rename
the "SoftwareDistribution" folder to "SoftwareDistribution.old", then create a
new one with the same name in the same C:\Windows location.)
Usually you are not limited in the number of folders you can create. You can have this problem if you are not createing folders to store the pictures in. Make sure ther are no pictures or other files outsde the folders in the root directory. If that does not help, that that drive to a camera store or coptuter shop that can do a data recovery. If there is a corruption in the USB directory then you may get problems like this as well. Reformatting the USB drive might help, but you will need to remove everything from it first.

vista is main problem are you viewing the picture before you move them vista has problem if u open it 1st before coping moving etc etc it does what u mentiond b4 either shut the program u are using to view with down before u transfer them
you have to create seperate photo albums and folder names. the the camera labels your pictures 1 2 3 and so on. so when those numbers come up again they are overwritten with the new info. so to avoid this...create one folder.(main)... then open that folder and create a new (sub)folders within the main folder for every download hopefully 10 or so more pictures at a time per sub folder....name the sub filders according to the content or, the current date which they were downloaded. what works well with myspace is photobucket.com your personal picture storage online for free. but til then the simple way is to keep this main folder in my pictures...most sites assume your pics are already there. it is the default directory with your msp,s(myspace pik's) ready to upload.
Yes, you can easily copy back the pictures to the memory card through a card reader, but first you should reformat the card on the camera so that necessary folders can be created. There you'll find something like DCIM folder, create a new folder and copy back the pictures on that folder.
The camera creates its own folder named " DCIM " during the initial Format process
New folders would be created in this folder. To recover your lost images
Try removing the memory card and connecting it via a card reader/usb adapter to browse the contents of the card. Save all pictures elsewhere on your PC.
But chances are when you created the new folder the camera may have deleted the contents of the default folder. (the previous existing photos)
Save any photos you can find & re-format the memory card using Camera settings menu.
