46 photos random. Connected SD1M to my pc and switched the camera on. Windows produced an immediate message there is a fault with the connected drive. Do I want Windows to correct the fault?

No knowing what that might do so ignored. 10 minutes later 46 files successfully transferred and available to Faststone.

And none had any photographic merit.

Dark slide,

I think you would be better off using a card reader to transfer the files from the card to your computer. I have never thought that connecting the camera directly to the computer to be a good practice.

I agree.

Me three!

Me too.

I also "eject" the card before removing it (Win 7, right-click on card, select Eject).

Me five! I got a USB 3 card reader, so I could read my newer, super-fast CF cards quickly with my 2015 Mac Mini. It is a multi-card reader, and can read micro-SD cards, SD cards, CF cards, and a variety of other cards simultaneously. It also is a port replicator, so it has three USB 3 ports too, making one into three, and adding memory card reading capability to my Mac Mini, which only has an SD card reader on the back. I love this card reader. I haven't had any problems with it. A light comes on, when I put a memory card in it. I've used it with my old MacBook Air too, and it works perfectly with that computer too. I haven't tried it on a Windows machine yet, but I'm contemplating the purchase of an old HP Z840 workstation with Windows 10 Pro on it. If I get that, I'll try it with that machine too, and report back here about using various versions of SPP with that card reader and various hard drives and external SSD's on that machine.
