Transfer photos from micro SD card (in phone) to PC

Options
Hi all

Been googling but I can't find the specific scenario I have. I'm trying to transfer files stored on the SD card in an HTC Desire S to the computer. The advice I've seen either is for files that are stored on the phone (not the SD card) or recommend using a card adapter (which I don't have).

Is there a way of transferring from the SD card to the phone and then to the PC? Will I need any extra kit?

TIA

    ...recommend using a card adapter (which I don't have).

    Card readers don't cost much. I suggest you buy one.
  • Plug the phone into the computer using the USB cable. A message should pop up on the phone and towards the bottom of the screen a button with 'Turn on USB storage'. Tap this. There may now be a warning message popping up on screen- you can tap OK to this. Back to your PC and in My Computer there should be a new 'Removable Disk' displaying. Double click this and there are the files.
