| 756683 | 2009-03-15 10:17:00 | Ok, umm you can bring it here sometime, if you want. I've got a card reader, and I may have a program that may do something I'll see what I can do.. Send me a PM, when you want to come over (what date and the time etc) If you decide to come over, DONT try and do anything else with that card |

| 756685 | 2009-03-18 23:40:00 | We got it fixed, David came over here, earlier this morning . And I used Easeus Data recovery on it . It picked up the card pretty much straight away . Selected a folder for the photos to go to, on the hdd, then recovered them . Took less than 3-4 mins . There maybe a program, (for the camera), to format the card, to FAT16 . I formatted the card after, but it went down to 241mb or something (it was 512) . Luckily, David brought a 1 GB card as well . The photos copied fine to it |

| 756686 | 2009-03-19 00:03:00 | Yeah the best bet in situations like this on cards or hard drive is a normal data recovery program. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 756687 | 2009-03-19 07:33:00 | Great job Speedy. Thanks very much. I went and brought a Dick Smith card reader and attempted to reformat the 512mb card to 512mb but no go. Wonder why? | DavidW (532) | ||
| 756688 | 2009-03-19 07:36:00 | Can you see the storage device in device manager? Will prob be under "universal serial device controllers" since you're using an USB adapter If you see it, right click, uninstall and reboot Blam |

| 756689 | 2009-03-19 07:40:00 | No probs, umm, yer not too sure why it wont format the whole 512mb Did it come with some kind of program (the camera)?? For formatting sd cards? I'll have a look around and see what I can find Did you get an external or internal card reader David? It should appear in my computer as well, as separate drives. Its probably working Blam, but it didnt format the whole 512mb here either (it formatted 241mb I think it was) |

| 756690 | 2009-03-19 07:44:00 | Could it be that camera cards are formatted Fat 16 ? Would this make the difference? | DavidW (532) | ||
| 756691 | 2009-03-19 07:50:00 | Thats what I formatted it in here FAT16.. It still showed up as 241mb I've just formatted (I think its a 512 sd card), its fine. It shows 489mb (you probably wont get or see all of it). But you should get more than 241mb on a 512 mb sd card |
