Why doesnt my camera have a driver letter? -

The camera shows up in portable devices in my computer, i can access it and my pictures. But the problem is, i lost some photos so im trying to scan the camera with a photo recovery program. However i cannot scan it as it doesnt have a driver letter.

Go to Start...Computer or My Computer....you should see the drive letter of your camera..if not....unplug the camera and watch as you plug it in again....you will see the drive letter. Cheers
