Case 1: If memory card is not readable on your PC using a card reader
If memory card is not readable on your PC using a card reader, don't assume your photos are gone forever. Since this issue can happen due to a number of reasons, it is better to find the root cause of the problem.
To do so, insert the card into the camera and see if it works. If you're able to see the photos, immediately download and save the images to your computer using a USB transfer cable.
