So if I pop it in my computer, it won't read. it freaks out and explorer freezes. If I put it in the other computer, it gives some kind of read error, but doesn't freeze. My girlfriend attempted to take pictures on a full memory card, and I'm worried my retard camera overwrote the allocation table. Not really sure though, not real keen on flash memory and how that works. its a 256 mb kingston SD card. I was too lazy to take the last few crops of photos off, some of them are pretty important photos I'd like to save. Oh, and my camera can read all of the photos on the card, except photos taken after the card filled up - however, it reports data as unreadable photos, and my camera slows down heavily. I can't use my camera's cable, I can't find it, I'm just using an SD reader. I don't think plugging it in would help, though. Any info you guys can give me on this would be deeply appreciated.
Any pictures on your flashcard should be ok. I've formatted flashcards before and was still able to recover photos from them. Since your camera can still read the pictures there OK. You can try the free "photorec" and see if it can recover them for you when they are connected to your computer. "photorec" is an exe file and doesn't need to be installed on your computer, you just doubleclick on it and it will startup. There are some cardreaders that have problems reading some flashcards, you might have to try reading them in different cardreaders if you have problems. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
It's taking its sweet time, but the program is reading - if it works, I'll let you know... And if it does, you're a life saver. Huge life saver, man... We'll see in the morning. Slow, slow going. EDIT: All pictures recovered! A godsend is you, myfriend!
