I use a [Toshiba 1GB] compact flash card in my Nikon D2X and the first time I went to download the images, to my horror, there was nothing there. I was able to playback the images on my camera at first, but now, I no longer can. I know a compact flash uses memory on a chip as upposed to a hard drive, which stores data magnetically on a disc. But is it still possible to recover data from one?

my daughter has a canon powershot and she was trying to re-set the time ad date. when it said "format" she clicked ‘yes’. it meant reformat the scadisk memory. there were pics of the last days of her 3 year old son, and his burial at sea. she is devistated. she sent it to a data recovery place but they could not do it because it was a low level format. does anyone know a place that can retrieve the pictures? thank you

I use my DVD/RW drive as a hard disk so I can backup, retrieve, and erase data files, quickly and easily. Use "copy" and "drag and drop".
InCd does this just fine - except when it causes problems.
I have read on the Web that InCd is a causer of problems.
From time to time my InCd DVD when it is being accessed will "freeze" my system, and then the disk will become "read only".No data is lost, but I must REBOOT, transfer the info elsewhere, and then reformat it so that it becomes a R/W disk again. I keep my "InCd" updated.

What, if any, are other options to accompish my purpose?
