I can now see a 16GB card from my digital camera, but the machine still won't see the other two 8GB cards which I used for a previous attempt at writing images.
I think "won't see" will need defining for anyone to help, but it sounds like toast to me.
If they're simply unformatted (or the formatting is corrupt) they won't pop up a window with their contents will they?
Probably not, but they should still produce diagnostic messages somewhere in /var/log (look at the Last Modified times), or you can try using dmesg, mount (maybe "sudo mount -t auto /dev/mmcblk0 /mnt") and/or "sudo fdisk -l" from a terminal and see what the error is.
If they're unformatted or misformatted, mount will fail but fdisk may succeed. If they're completely defective, I'd expect dmesg or /var/log to show errors or deny there is any card inserted.
Hope that helps,
