Probably trying to recover on the card itself, no room for that. There is a pretty good free recovery program that has been recommended here several times, but I can not find my link to the site. Maybe someone else can remember better than me.
You probably are getting that 996 megabyte message because there is something wrong (you think?). There is not that much space for files, after system overhead, on the card. Remember the one about the guy who took 36 irretrievable shots on 35mm, carefully rewound the film, removed the cassette, pulled the film from the cassette and looked at it carefully, and said, "Darn, the photos didn't come out". You do not have to be quite that stupid to screw up with digital. I hope you manage to recover that shots. I am sorry I can be so little help in the matter. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- David J Brooks wrote: > Sorry, i should have mentioned, i have about 25 Gig left on the > Cdrive, but the program is telling me. not eneough rocovery space. > > Is this normal.?Or can someone suggest sometrhing else. > > Dave > > Quoting Thibouille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > >> It is perfecly normal for 1 GB card to have 996MB of files. >> 1GB = 1024MB (this is reality) >> 1GB = 1000MB (manufacturers reality) >> >> In any case 996 is pretty close to both 1000 and 1024MB. >> >> 2006/8/28, David J Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >>> Hi Gang. >>> >>> First off. i nned a data recovery questioned answered. >>> >>> Shot a three day show this weekend, horrid rain Friday, semi sunny >>> Saturday and bad fog today. >>> >>> Downloaded the main card with no problems onto the PC, OS XP home via >>> a standard usb 1 card reader.
