formatting sd card

[matchset]

i bought a Wildgame innovations deer camera and it came with a Sd memory card.

after putting the camera out in the woods for a week. i just check it... i have a bunch of pics on it; but my computer said card needs to be formatted.

but i don't want to format it now and lose a couple weeks worth of photos...

any suggestions on retrieving my pics?

If you have a card reader USB connection use recuva Think thats it.Same cpmpany that does CCcleaner.If it shows on your computer as a seperate drive (the deer camera) click start then mycomputer then the camera recuva may get it off there

I think that you will need to format the SD card before you will be able to use the card. I know it stinks but you may have no other choice unless you can find a USB card reader that will show the pictures in a way that your computer can deal with but I doubt that is going to happen. Bite the bullet and format and put the camera back out.

when I have a card that says format I just ignore and transfer the file to my desktop and look at the pics.

Yeah...if you can get the pictures I'd say nothing more needs to be done...ignore the "format" message.
