''Hi everyone.
New member/new post.........please be gentle.
I have a Pentax digital camera which works fine and i am able to save pictures taken, to my laptop without problem.
However i recently returned from a holiday and tried to store all the pictures from a 4gb memory card to my laptop but there is a fault with the memory chip.
When i turn the camera on sometimes the photos are there,sometimes it says no image/sound available,sometimes disc needs to be formated.
Usually when i connect to the usb port a window opens for me to download,it does not with this chip.
When i go to 'my computer',removable disk there is no option to download,it just says needs to be formated.
Obvioulsy this chip is damaged so is there any way i can retrieve my photos?
Any help appreciated.''
I posted this link in the computer section last week and took some advice to try an external disk reader,which i did.Sadly it does not work as it cant read the files.
Is it possible i could take the card to a photographic shop,perhaps they could retrieve the images?
Or maybe if i took it to a computer repair shop,perhaps someone there is a genius?
Anyway,any ideas would be most appreciated............i really want to save/retrieve these pictures
