Actually, you should be able to just copy them over. First, make sure iTunes is not set to load automatically when you plug in an iDevice. You do not need iTunes for this. Take a picture with the iPad to make sure you have one photo on it already, though that may not be necessary. Plug the USB cable into the computer and the iPad. Use Windows explorer to navigate to the iPad. Just keep selecting and hitting enter on the folders until you either get an empty folder, or find a folder with an image file. Then, navigate to the folder where your photos are stored, select all, copy, and alt-tab back to the iPad and paste. Plan to wait a good while for them all to copy. Then, open the photos app, and they should all be there. HTH,
