    Our Fuji Finepix got dropped at the end of our holidays and we were no longer able to take pictures. When we went to upload the previous pics onto our home computer it said no images were available. :(

    Is it still possible to retrieve the images from the hard drive?

    Any help on what to do next or where to send it gratefully accepted.

    Can you read the memory card with a card reader?

    image recovery software should help

    you can find it free online - for some of the better software you may have to pay. *

    *= the free software might do the trick....most of the time it works.

    If the camera is broken then take the memory card out and connect it to your PC using a memory card reader as Avns1s suggested. Card readers are cheap, and if it's an SD card, many laptops have a slot on the side where you can plug the card straight in without buying any extra card readers. You should be able to browse the folders on the card from your PC. Look for a folder called DCIM or similar, and the photos should be in there.

    If you explain how you are connecting to the card, and what you can and cannot see, you might get more suggestions here.

    That did the trick - we transferred the card to our new camera. My wife wants to name our next child after you but maybe not! ;)
