hmm.. i have not experienced this. but its strange that the files got lost if you pull out the memory card in between the transfer!!!\nbtw, what do you mean by format??? are you able to use the memory card further or not?

A few ideas:\n\n1.  Make sure that your autoread didn't just get turned off and check in My Computer to see if there is a 'Removable Disk' listed.\n\n2.  Try rebooting your computer and trying again.  Sometimes if you take it out without choosing the "Remove device" option it will still think its there and get messed up.\n\n3.  Check the Device Manager (Control Panel --> System --> Hardware tab --> Device Manager) and make sure your memory card reader is still installed.

Go to "my computer" and there you should see your internal one (C:) and all others, could be E:, F:, G: depending on if you have memory cards and such (D: is usually CD/DVD drive)\n\nOpen the external one, and drag your files there.  I hope external drive is hooked up to USB of your computer or whatever you are using.

I'm not 100% sure, but as long as you don't shut any processes that relate to the operating system or USB, you should be fine.\n\nMy HP has a memory card reader in the front, you should be able to stick it right in and open up "My Computer" and go to the drive that related to the SD card.\n\nHP computers come in different forms, so you may or may not have an card reader built in..\nIf you do, it is probably internally connected via USB, so keep anything USB related.

If that didn't work try these steps:\n1- Unplug the device.\n2- Remove the installed software from control panel.\n3- Restart computer.\n4- Install the software came in with the card reader. (WITHOUT PLUGGING IN THE DEVICE).\n5- Plug it now.\n\nIf these steps couldn't help you may have a hardware problem in the Card reader or it is broken.

It's amazing how many clueless people there are out there.\n\nYou can recover the old pictures.  If you just deleted them and haven't used the card since, then ALL of the pics are recoverable.  When you delete them, all you are doing is alloting all the space on the card as "AVAILABLE" for data to be written onto it.  Your pics have not gone anywhere.  They are all still there.\n\nThe only problem is, image recovery programs are not that cheap.  I deleted images on my memory card, just like you.  I downloaded one of many programs and was able to save all the photos.  Most programs have a trial mode where you can try it to see what you can recover without actually recovering them.  You then have to pay for the program in order to get the pictures.  But at least now you can recover pics if it ever happens again.\n\nI got every single image back plus many images that I've taken in the past that were still there.  So contrary to what those other clowns told you, you CAN get your pictures back.\n\nBTW, the program I ended going with is a program called eImage Recovery since the demo version showed me thumbnails of the pics it can recover.

I don't know where the folders came from, but you could try formating the memory stick. This should erase all data on it. what you do is plug it in, then find it under my computer; they're normally named "removable disk *some  letter*". Right click on it, and go down to "format" it'll ask you some stuff; if you really want to erase everything, click yes. this should clean it off.

If you are using windows XP like most people.\n\ngo to \nPrograms -> Accessories -> System tools -> System Restore\n\nWindows will guide you from there

Find out what card you have.  Go to the web site of the maker of the card and download the drivers for it and install the drivers.  restart.\n\nSometimes, if you remove the card form the slot, restart windows, then shut down, and put the card back in and then restart, Windows suddenly remembers to look for it and installs it...sometimes not.
