LOST PICTURES ---- HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hoping SOMEONE here can help me.
I just arrived home from a 3 week trip to Africa and was blown away to discover one of my memory cards is EMPTY!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, to make it even odder, I was reviewing pictures everyday, so they WERE on the card. I got some software recover program and took a look... there were some photos! but... They were photos I took back in MARCH of this year and purposely deleted back then! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY PICTURES????? Any ideas? The only think I can think of is that particular card was in my checked luggage and something ZAPPED it... be even so, why did my old, deleted pictures stay and the brand new ones vanish? Help, Help, Help! Any suggestions on recovering them???? James |

What kind of card? Are you reading this through a card reader or via a USB cable to the camera. What kind of camera? Can you still view the pictures in the camera? Try a different card reader, if possible. I had one that could not read past 1GB on an SD card though it could see pictures stored on the first GB of a 2GB SD card. I'm not sure if the same issue applies to CF cards. HTH, hank |

First off, are you sure you didn't take 2 memory cards and this is just the wrong card. That would be my first guess. Also as Hank said, put the card in the camera and look for the pictures. Report back. Meanwhile, go to a big walmart or photo store and buya Lexar Pro card. IIRC, it comes with recover software and I believe it will work on any card. Now breath slow and calm down. |

HTH, hank Hi Hank, DETAILS: - Pictures where viewable throughout Africa - It's an SD 512mb card (thank god it was THAT one and not my 3gig one - once I arrived back in the states, the camera says 'emtpy card' - putting the SD into a slot on my home computer (and it shows empty) The REALLY weird thing is that when I use a recovery program, it FINDS files that I DELETED back in March, but NOTHING for last week. I'm trying to get over the grief since I think all is lost, but ANY suggestions would be welcomed James, Port Orchard (near Seattle), WA, USA, Earth |

Don't even put it back in your computer or camera, again. Meanwhile, make sure the 3 gig card doesn't have the pix you are looking for and you just don't remember swapping out cards. |

I know this sounds unlikely, because I guess the computer was switched off while you were in Africa, but does it fit with what happened? I wish you a successful recovery. Cheers, David |
