Windows XP. I want the images to stay on the card and the hard drive..seems that "copy" should not delete anything?? Doesn't "drag" remove the images from the card?
Not by default. Dragging within the same drive moves, dragging across drives copies. Inconsistent, yes - you can thank MS for that UI gem. Hold CTRL to change the behavior.
Copy does not delete anything. Either you are overlooking something (stamper's point sounds about right), or the card may be corrupted.
