Where are my photos?

I plug my Storm into my computer to transfer the pictures i've taken and no picture folder. My computer wont even let me open my media disk in mass media storage mode from my computer. Before it was showing up as my blackberry on windows explorer. The first time I connected my blackberry to my computer i didnt use the desktop software(By the way that is crap) i used windows media player to sync my music. should i reformat my sd card and just reload my music onto my BB? and if i do that will i lose my pictures? i dont want to lose them please help im a newbie

If you plugged in before and it worked and you are still in mass storage mode (confirm @ options>media card>mass storage mode ON) then I would try to reboot the PC and pull the battery out of the phone while on - replace and then when everything is back up and running try again....

Thanks! you helped me alot
