Somehow after taking a bunch of digital pictures, my memory stick (Sony 128 Mg) kind of "reset" itself. On the screes that shows how much capacity is left on the mem stick, an area is shown as "consumed", but I can't get to it. It's almost if it partitioned itself into a hidden partiton on my stick.

Problem solved... http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital_image_recovery.htm Zero Assumption Digital Recovery is the actual name. This program is freeware and has some limitations but allowed me to recover to a folder I created. It recovered everything that had ever been on that stick (I think)! None of the other recovery software I used even came close to the performance of this one, and this one did the whole job without being emasculated! BTW: I am not "shilling" for this company, I'm just relieved. (plus, I won't be sleeping on the couch tonight!)
