AND NOW FOR TODAY'S TIP... Rescuing images from a bad card

Q. I have a 128 megabyte card with a couple of hundred vacation
pictures. When I tried to copy them to my computer with a reader,
it only showed one picture! When I look through the camera viewer,
I can see the pictures, but the reader isn't seeing them. Where can
I take this card to recover the pictures?

A. Your problem is not unusual. There are several ways that cards
can become damaged. By far the most common are a power failure
in the camera or removal of the card while the power is on. Either
can make the card unreadable.

Fortunately, pictures from such cards can usually be recovered. You
can do it with software. Or you can have a recovery specialist do it.

One program that's available is Image Recall 2.0, at $39.95. This
program is sold by FlashFixers. The company offers a trial version,
which can recover just 10 pictures. You could try that, then order
the full version if you like it.

Image Recall is available for Windows 98 through XP, and for Mac's
OS X. If you have questions, FlashFixers offers advice at 888-834-9377.
You can get more information at: http://www.flashfixers.com/software/

If you're using a Lexar card, that company offers its own recovery
software: Image Rescue 2.0. This program is available for Windows
2000 and XP, and Mac's OS 10.2 and later. I found it for as low as
$30 on the Internet. LexarMedia is at: http://www.lexarmedia.com

A third possibility is BadCopy Pro, made by Jufsoft. This program
is $39.50. A trial version is available from the company's site at:
http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/

There are also companies that rescue photos from bad cards. FlashFixers
offers that service on its site. It charges $85, including shipping
and handling, for a 128 megabyte card. There are other recovery firms
that advertise on the Internet.

You could also check with local photo shops. If they don't do that
work, they can probably make a local recommendation. There also is a
state-by-state list of recovery shops on the LexarMedia site.

OK, here's a shameless plug.

If you had my book about digital photography, you probably would not
have lost the pictures in the first place. My book covers the gamut--
scanning, editing, emailing, posting on the Web, buying a camera, using
it and comes with a money-back guarantee. You can read a sample chapter
for free here

Hope this helps. I'll see you tomorrow with another great tip!
Kim :)
