Unable to transfer photos to camera

[PointlesS]

So I'm trying to help someone out with their camera. They bought 2 memory cards (256MB and 2GB) and want to transfer the photos from the 256MB card to the 2GB card. The camera I'm using is a Kodak C340. The camera shows up in Windows, but the camera itself seems to be set to read only. I can get photos off the camera, but I just can't put any on them. I don't have a card reader, so the only option I have is to use the camera. I've checked the camera properties and there is no option to make it writable. The memory card itself isn't locked either. I know it's kind of long shot but does anyone have any suggestions?

go spend the $20 on a card reader or have your friend cover the cost.

The camera can't be on Read Only as it could not record pictures. The firmware only allows it to record its own pics. To add from another source, i.e., copy existing JPGs, a reader/writer is the only way to go. No digital photographer should be without one. They are too cheap. Your friend should invest in one.
