edit: the photos i want to add are from a photo disc my brother made and i want to put them onto to my camera so i can get them developed, i dont have a card reader so i'll have to put them straight onto my camera, as for copying them straight from the c drive to the camera, it doesnt seem to work.

If your photos are digital, why should it mater how you get them to the photo shop to be developed? Most shops will develop digitals straight from a cd, jessops definatley does. get a cd-rw and use that to take all your photos in. they wont care if you dont bring them in on your camera.

Your PC should recognise your camera as an extra or 'external' drive - mine does. To all intents and purposes that's what it is to the computer, just a box with some files in it, and 9 times out of 10 it can send files both ways - to and from the Camera,Drive, MP3 player....whatever, the computer don't care much. Simply connect up with USB and wait for a window asking you what you want to do with the files that are already on the card. Ignore that and close it down. Locate your pictures (jpegs I presume) get them all into the same folder, 'select' them all by holding down alt and single clicking on each one, or if you have loads, then either single click in space and draw a box around all the files - this will select them all...or simply use 'select all' from 'Edit'.
Now, establish the drive letter ( 'J', or 'K', etc) that your PC has assigned to the camera by looking in 'my computer' (simply make a note of the drive names that are there before you connect the camera, then see which extra name appears when it is connected) then drag your bunch of pic files onto this drive. Presto hey!

I must admit that I am at something of a loss to understand why you would want to transfer old pictures BACK to a new camera. But you do. I would take the card out of the camera, and put it into a card reader. The computer will see it as another drive and you can just drag and drop pictures on to it.

When you take photos off of it, you just plug in the USB, and it appears as another drive that you just move them from onto your C:\ drive right? Well copying an image the other way also works. Just open up your camera in My Computer and copy the photos in

My PC photo software has a drag and drop capability which is bi-directional, but I often find photos transferred from PC to camera do not display correctly, because the camera is expecting a very limited range of sizes and formats.
