Answer 1

If your computer has a card slot for SD card it will recognize the card as an external memory or storage device of some sort.  Theoretically if you use a card reader and put the SD card in the reader and connect to the computer by USB it should do the same. Don't open this device, if a window pops up with 'what do you want to do' just close the window.

Now open up the file with your mother's photos in your computer as normal.

Next you right click on each individual photo and scroll down to 'send to'.

Choose the device that the computer has called your SD card and left click.

That photo will now be back on your SD card. Do the next photo by right click,send to, left click and so on.

You can transfer the whole file in one go if you want instead of one photo at a time.

PROBLEM THE SD CARD HAS JUST BEEN USED AS A STORAGE DEVICE NOT THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION IN THE CAMERA. So when your mother goes to use her camera these photos may not show up as images when she uses the viewing function on her camera. So you will have to 'fess up' but assure her the photos are there and can again be saved to her computer if she wants them. I can't remember for sure now but I don't think your mother will be able to delete these photos using her delete function on her camera. You will have to hook up to your computer again, find the SD card and delete its contents.

It would actually be simpler to just 'fess up,' tell mum you have the photos on your computer and will copy them to a USB memory stick then use that to put them on mum's computer.

Answer 2

if you have an sd card reader you can just copy the files and paste them back on to the sd card.
