lost my pictures? Eva 11.07.2007 21:34:02 I have pictures on my SanDisk that I wanted to put in the computer, but now the computer is saying that the disk is not formated and if I want to format it now. Did I loose all of my pictures, and if not how to I get them back. If they are gone how can I prevent it from happening again? Thanks.

Thanks. ==================================== Don't format the memory card until you have exausted your file recovery options. Maybe the following free software will help you recover the files. Recuva - File Recovery http://www.recuva.com/ One possible reason for corrupted files could be that you downloaded via USB cable directly from the camera and the batteries were low. This is of the the main reasons I suggest using a USB card reader. -- John Inzer MS Picture It! - Digital Image MVP Digital Image Highlights and FAQs http://tinyurl.com/aczzp Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
