    Hi guys,

    I need some help/advice. My girlfriends sister's memory card gives a message that it needs to be formatted when its in her camera. She has lots of pictures from over christmas on it that she hopes to save. Is there any possibility of saving these pictures or is all hope lost. Any input would be greatly appreciated. It's an SD memory card.

    What does {your operating system of choice} say about the memory card?

    I am a bit confused here (then I get confused easily)

    Are you putting your girlfriend's sisters card into your girlfriend's camera?

    OR

    Is the camera the same one that took the photos in the first place?

    I would try to download the photo's to your computer using a Card Reader (about €10) or else go into a printing place & put the card into one of the Photo Kiosks & they should have an option to burn all the photo's to a CD. If they don't read the card then it's on to Step 2, which involves Data Recovery Software.

    Same card same camera. I tried inserting the card into my computer and also my printer but it will not read it. Is it possible that a card reader could possibly help or the option of data recovery software. If its the software option have you any recommendations? It's just that she has some very valuable pictures and would hate to lose them. Thanks for the help so far
