The data on an xD photo card can be read by a computer.
Picture cards that are available for many types of digital cameras and cell phones can use an xD-Picture card to store photos and video. When your xD-Picture card is not functioning properly, when trying to use it with a computer, you can fix the problem by repairing the card. Problems that can occur with your xD-Picture card include information not being read by the operating system and data not being written to the card.
