If you are referring to a SanDisk SD card and if you truly mean 160 or 64 Kb (kilobytes) then that is probably just the space taken by the FAT (File Allocation Table) to keep track of the card file system. If that is the case you can reformat it - you are losing nothing.

With card in computer you can always right click on the SD Card file, then click Properties. That will give you card size, plus free and used space.

Probably easier to just refer them as the card type (SD, CF, etc) or memory cards so everyone will know what you mean. Also I see you’re referring to the size as 64KB. More likely the metric you want is GB (card size) or MB (individual file size). A 64 GB card is a standard size, whereas an individual photo might be anywhere from 5MB to 50MB depending on the camera and the type file you’re storing (JPEG or raw).

Now that we have the definitions out of the way, let me suggest the following: if the shots you’ve already taken aren’t especially important, format both cards in the camera, shoot a couple of images on each card, download them (either with a card reader or a USB cable attached to your computer) to make sure they work, and carry on with your life. When you plug either the card reader or camera into your computer, they should be recognized within a few seconds.

If the shots you already took are important, then try downloading them via either via the card reader or USB directly connected to the camera as mentioned above. If that doesn’t work (and the shots are really important), then download a copy of Recuva SW or the Sandisk recovery SW, and follow the instructions.

I hope that’s all clear and helps

Oh I didn't know about scandisk referring to anything else. This is the small sandisk card that goes into your camera to record the pictures taken. And I spelled it wrong. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry that came out so confusing. When I first tried to use this scandisk no images showed up to view in my camera. When I looked at formatting it (in my camera still) message said I'd loose any images taken and showed 64KB. I think I had tried to take several pictures and then found out that I wasn't getting the images (I was talking them in raw). So I took used the USB cord to attached my camera to my laptop and the message said can't connect (I think). But I had just downloaded the images from the first SD card. I'm thinking that I took pictures without formatting this second scan disk card. So any pictures didn't register? Does that sound better, more accurate. If so I guess I'll just format the card because basically I have nothing too loose. But 64KB sounded like more than I could have taken. Anyway I was concerned that if there were pictures there was there any way to get them and not lose all? Thanks for responding everyone

Do you mean Sandisk (a solid state disk & memory card manufacturer)? Scandisk is a Microsoft utility for hard disk maintenance.

What is the "it" that says (said) no images?
Since you re-formatted it, there will be nothing to transfer.

I presume you haven't had any responses because you have so many indefinite statements. You state you don't know if you "have anything on it" but I'm not sure what it is. Then "It says I do", but again I'm not sure what it is. "It's indicates not images"... ? Again. "... it says 160 KB". I'm at at loss to give you any advice and assume others are in the same boat.
Trying to cut the Gordian Knot: Have you pulled the chip out of the camera; inserted it into your computer; and if you're using Windows, looked at the files using file explorer? If you can see pictures then, you better copy them to a hard disk a'fore you do anything else.

I am going to try and understand. You have a Scandisk memory card, presumably a SD, that you think you've taken images in a digital camera and cannot "find them?" Did you originally format the SD memory card in your camera or in your PC? You need to format the disk while in your camera's memory slot.

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, I new to shooting with manuel setting. Due to a disability I'm trying to retrain as a Real Estate photographer. It's something that I can physically do. I've had the PS CC training, and read everything I can and watched these videos. So I actually have many questions. But right now my question is about the scandisk. I don't know if I have anything on it for sure. It says I do but I can't get any pictures to show up,. It's indicates no images. So I thought I'd reformat the disk. That's where it says 160 KB. Don't know what to do. Nothing transfers. Any suggestions out there? Thanks for reading.

Also I have already looked into the possibility of some personal tutoring with specifically indoor shooting for Real Estate type photography. So thanks again. I know I have a lot to learn.

Thanks for responding. You're right and I will look in to a local photo club for these kind of answers. It's just that I came across this first and didn't consider that alternative. Thanks for your help
