SD Memory Card Help - Copying games over

Hi I bought an SD card a couple of days ago and it's an official nintendo one holding up to 1GB

When I tried copying all of my VC games over to the SD card most of them come up with a message saying that they couldn't be copied over, or in some cases just partically saved.

 However I did not format the card before I put in in the Wii SD card slot.

Is it necessary to format the card before I put the games onto the SD card?

 The other query I have is where do you normally find the SD card slot on your computer? - i can't seem to find mine

And is there something you can buy to attach the SD card to so that it can be connected onto the computer?

Many thanks,

Go there and put in SD card reader

As for the rest it depends on the game, don't worry though Nintendo allows you unlimited online storage for all your games 

Thanks for all of your messages, but you still haven't really answered my queries.

 Does the memory card have to be formatted BEFORE copying VC games over onto the card? The SD card is an official nintendo one and has a memory of 1GB.

And also, is it normal for some VC games to be partially saved when copied or not being able to be copied at all? Because that is the message I keep getting when trying to copy these particular games, e.g. kirby's adventure land - partial save

I understand that the cards are for back-up purposes and not for playing games on the wii

 Finally, i don't think my computer has an SD card slot to what and where can i get a device that can hook on to the computer and be used to put memory SD cards in? Because i'm very sceptical over this formatting card thing

No.

No. I have no idea what you're talking about there. Definitely not normal, but it could be a glitch with the wii and certain VC games.

One person actually already told you an answser to this. Go to newegg.com, you can probably find a USB SD reader for around $5 or less. Don't be skeptical. Just do it. 

i thought you couldnt even copy VC games over?schu

so why would you put vc games onto your wii sd card and then put that card onto the comp? is this just for videos, photos, music, etc?
