My sd card is a 16 GB and I've taken pictures just fine and have transfered them to my usb through laptop (hp 2000) without a problem. A few days later while doing this my laptop starts to show that some are not viewable. Most show but others don't. The ones that can be seen are type file JPG and the ones that can't be seen are NEF file type. Is this the reason why and if not how can i fix it? Please help.

NEF is a raw file format, and most image viewers can't open it. Install the software that came with the camera, and it should let you save them as JPGs.

The software for Nikon is ViewNX 2. It should have been included with the D3300 when you bought it. If not, if the camera is registered, you will able to get the software from the Nikon website. With this software you can edit the photo and convert it to JPG.
