How to Save Pictures From an Unformatted Memory Card

The vast majority of cameras on the market today are digital and require SD memory cards. These cards come in many sizes, varying from as low as eight MB all the way up to 32 GB, but the SD Association is working on creating memory cards up to two terabytes. Most of the these cards have a life span of up to 10 years. Not only can you store photographic images on SD cards, but you can also store audio and video files, in addition to other documents.
