If there in anyone in the NYC area with a camera that can use the XD M-Series 2GB card please PM me. I purchased this memory without knowing that my D-630 couldn't use it. My wife took it to India and took a bunch of pictures with it irregardless of that fact. The chip became corrupted when we tried to get the photos off.
Using PC Inspector we got ~900 photos off of 1033 before the camera battery died. (Oh, and when you put in a new one it starts from scratch) I had heard that if I formatted the disk, most of the data would still remain and it would be faster to get the photos off b/c it wouldn't have to scan every sector. The format failed, and it is at this time that I discoved that the 2GB chip from this series doesn't work. (Although all the smaller size chips of the same series do work...how stupid is that?!) Now the chip is fully corrupted and even PC Inspector can't read it now.
So what I want to do is format this chip with a camera that can use it, and then try to get the photos off again. Slim chance perhaps, but I have to try. She's not going back to India again anytime soon.....
Suggestions are also welcome...thanks!
