Windows 10: Strange invisibility of camcorder jpeg files on CF card

Having just brought my camcorder back into use I find that while everything else still works fine, the still pictures saved / recorded to its SD Card are not (readily) displayed on my PC. They are not listed in File Explorer or alternatives to it and not found through Cortana and other search engines --- that is, with the exception of just one search engine. The only way I am able to tell they even exist on the card is with Wise Jet Search. which displays them quite normally.

Using Jet Search I have been able to Move them 'back' to the card, after which they do appear; a somewhat time consuming procedure. Strangely, or so it seems to me, while moving the files to the card one by one it does not generate a 'file already exists' notice, or start numbering them as copies / duplicates.

I have checked that 'hide files' is not ticked.

Any suggestions?

Formatting a 128MB CF card

I have not been able to get Windows 10 to recognize the 128 and 256 MB CF cards.
I have a feeling that I read a couple of years ago that Windows cannot read old low volume CF cards.

The 128 CF card is unbranded supplied by the Janome dealer.
The 256MB Card is a San Disk marked SDCFB 03 SanDisk. This card is most likely to be 12 years old.
Maybe speed is a problem.

The 4 year old Janome sewing machine cannot handle CF cards larger than 128MB.
Janome’s cutting edge technology. Love it!



Neither card is write protected.

I will turn the problem over to the grandkids.



Thank for the help.

 

How do I rename a CF card in WM5?

I have named my CF card "xxx" on my PC but when I put it into my iPAQ it is shown as "CF Card". When I try to rename it in the iPAQ, I get a message "Problem renaming file 'CF Card'".

How do I rename the card? How many characters can I use?

TIA
Roger

 

Canon Camcorder video files not recognised on Windows 10 PC

The Canon Camcorder and folders are clearly recognised on the Windows 10 PC via USB but the movie files contained in the folders are not recognised. Camcorder folders on the SD card are empty when searched through via the Windows 10 software on the PC even
though the video files are on the camcorder SD card. How do I get the Windows 10 software to recognise the video files of the camcorder.
