Default SD card help

I just got back from my trip and all of my dive shots are on this one SD card. Now here is the problem. Before I could preview the photo's on my camera and everything was fine. I put the card in my dads laptop which it couldn't open any of them. Now the pictures won't open and if I put the card into my camera, the camera freezes

This is a band new camera and card. any idea's?

I would try a different laptop to see what that says. Do you use a specific program to see the photos? If you use Windows Explorer then it will tell you a little about the file structure...if not, then most likely the data on the drive is corrupt.

If it's corrupt, I'm not sure there is a way to save it. Try copying the entire sd card to a hard drive on a PC (note, copy not cut or move) and then see if you can play with the individual files.

There are actually quite a few recovery options available depending on the condition of the card. Chances are it's a file structure error and its likely to be recoverable.

If you need more help after trying it in another laptop pm me.

Who is your phone plan with. Most plans don't care as long as you have a phone that is set for their network. I would look at ebay for an unlocked phone that will work on their network. A lot cheaper in the end.

Most recovery software that i have used will only work, if the drive mounts.
Scarry as it sounds, sometimes you have to quickformat the card in the camera and then recover the files from it afterwards.

Chances are you will loose a few files, but most will survive.

If you dont have any recovery software, look into the higher end Sandisk cards, they typically come with a mini cd or a download code.

Its always good practice to format your card upon insertion into the camera (after you copy off all pictures of coarse) and not use the cards other than for the camera specifically.

Let me know if you need a hand,

I tried to open the files on my laptop, desktop and also tried my camera again and nothing. When I put the flash card in, the camera will open turn on but will freeze with a black screen. How can I reformat it on my desktop, or what recovery software should I look into

But for sure will format my next one. this is one picture I took with my internal memory.

Does it freeze in both shoot and play mode?

+1 on Ebay for unlocked phones. A few years ago I lost about 300 pics on my card, I took it to the camera store on 11 ave & they recovered it for me for free.
