My Dane Elec 2GB SD card won't communicate with my laptop properly - I've been using it with the Jazz T20 camcorder to make a film for my work. When I put the card into the reader (both an external one and the one on the laptop) it says that the files are empty! But the pictures and videos (hundreds of them) are definitely on the card!! HELP!!!

Try it in another PC, if the same its a writeoff.

SOURCE: Dane Elec 4gb USB Not Readable

Try it in a different computer or even a different usb port on the computer that you are using. If a second computer gives you the same error, then the drive is either damaged or its filesystem is corrupted. In the first case there is not much you can do. In the second case you may be able to reformat it to make it work, but you would lose any data that was on it.
