I need help here.
I went on vacation and in the middle of taking pictures my digital camera comes up with "memory card needs formatting". Well I put another memory card in and finished the vacation. But when I got home and put the first memory card in the reader I get the same "memory card needs formatting" error in WinXP. I really want to recover the pictures on the memory card I took prior to getting the error. Anyone have any ideas on how to recover the pictures. I really dont want to format the card as I will lose any pictures that are on the card. I know they are there. There must have been some error in recording the last picture which makes the card unreadable.
Any ideas on how I might read them?

I heard about this on a radio talk show. It's supposed to be the best and they have a demo available. Might be well worth the $40 they want for it. http://www.mediarecover.com/image_recovery_win.html
I've never tried this, but check this out:

<i>File Rescue Plus is a fast, thorough, easy way to recover files that have been lost or deleted from your computer. It can bring back files that would otherwise be lost forever, including files emptied from the Recycle Bin, deleted by application programs, lost with removed directories or through a "quick format" on a drive. After it scans, it shows you all the deleted files it finds and might be able to rescue, along with the condition of the file and chances of recovery. You can even restore individual files back to the same directory from which they were deleted.</i><b> File Rescue Plus can recover files from all types of media such as hard disk, digital cameras, 3.5 floppy, Jaz drives, Zip drives, Flash media, Smart media, and more.</b>
If that one doesn't help, there are a few more lower on the list.
