The best way to transfer pictures from a camera with an SD memory card is to do it outside the camera. If your computer does not have an SD card reader built in, you can buy an external USB card reader for $20 or less on E-bay, Amazon, etc. Remove the memory card from the camera and insert it in the card reader. Your computer will treat the card reader and SD card just like it treats an external hard drive. Either drag-n-drop or copy and paste your pictures from the SD card file to a file on your hard drive. If after you have copied and backed up your files you want to reformat your SD card, replace it in the camera and format it in the camera, not in the computer. SD cards formatted in a computer will often not work in your camera because of slight differences in the formatting.

Most cameras won't let you transfer pictures to them from another device, so you'll have to take the memory card out of your camera and put it into a card reader attached to your computer. Once inserted the card will appear to your computer as another hard drive. You can then use the operating system's copy&paste feature to copy pictures to the card, the same way you might copy any other file from one place to another on your computer.

Or you can use Nikon Transfer or any other photo cataloging program.
