Ok i have a damaged memory card and have used a NOKIA N70 phone to take photos. Its a 2GB MMC card and i know its been playing up BUT theres some photos that i can see in my folders as thumbnails and they look ok but when i click on the thumbnail to view the photo, the photos damaged, its like half cut off, mixed with another photo or like all different colours invading the photo. Is there any way i can recuperate these photos? thanks for any help, Alistair Watts - aliwatts@msn.com

You could try some image recovery software, the big thing is don't use the card again as you may overwrite any images on it.
Do you know of any image recovery software? thanks for your help

Lexar used to do a free one with their memory cards, and I have used one I think it was card recovery, not at that compuer today so can't check. Used that a few times for customers cards got back stuff from years back, but that was just deleted files not corrupted images.
Have you tried downloading them again? sometimes they get corrupted at the download stage and are actually ok on the card. Are you using a card reader or cable to download?

im using a cardreader, ive problems with the cable. i copied the photos to the harddrive several times and some worked some didnt, now ive deleted the photos from the memory card, i tried a data recovery program but it was a demo, i saw on the screen photos id deleted but as it was a demo obviously i couldnt copy them. i really wanted to know if there was a way of repairing photos that i have copied to my hard drive, that are faulty. please let me know if you know of anything else, thanks for your help once again.
Free Lexar one supplied with the memory cards is available for downlaod here ftp://myftp.crucial.com/lexar/files/ImageRescue3.zip
BRILLIANT!! this piece of software seemed to work ok, just one thing, why is it that some of the thumbnails of the photos recovered look ok but when you open the photo they seem damaged? Thanks to all for their help
