I am having trouble reading the files on my Panasonic 32mb SD card. My Minolta Dimage Z1 camera will says there are no images while the camera is in the viewing mode, but says the card is full when switched to the taking pictures mode. I know the card is full I had just finished taking pictures with it. When I insert the card into a card reader from my computer it does not show any picture files. I tried two different computers (home and office). The camera works fine when I inserted a different sd card. I know my files are there because when I checked the properties of the drive it listed the drive as having over 29mb used and only less than 1 mb of free space on the disk. I need some advice as to how to retrieve these pictures and keep using my sd card.

have you tried formatting the SD card in your camera? It's usually different than formatting it with your pc Intel P4 3.2E Ghz Asus P4P800-E Deluxe Kingston 2x512MB 400Mhz Asus AX800 Pro WD Caviar 160 GB WD Raptor 37 GB Creative SB Live! 5.1 Player Sony DRU-700A Asus DVD-E616P1

Was able to retrieve files by using a software program for file recovery. Then I formatted the disk in my camera and was able to use the disk successfully. Thank you for your response.

on my minolta dimage z1 when i was looking in my menu i pressed format card by accident and now on my card it says there are no images and before i formatted it had 63 pictures on have i lost all my pictures or is there a way i can get them back.

Yes! But dont take anymore pictures or do anything with the storage space!!! You might over write the pictures you want to recover if you take any more!!! First, download this: Smart Recovery 4.5 (freeware) ftp://ftp2.convar.com/pcinspector/pci_us_smartrecovery.exe or http://www.softwarepatch.com/software/smartrecovery.html & install it. Run it find the camera under it's drive leter(should be listed as a removeable drive in "My Computer") Select where you want the files recovered to. Then click start. This thing is a lifesaver. I just deleted all the pics by accident(I thought they were downloaded), and I got them back within 5 minutes. It even recovered Pics I took 4 months ago that didn't get over written!!! great Program..... Good luck john
