Im so lucky to recover most of the pics but not all in full. Some of it corrupted. Same advice as Colin. DONT use (writes on) the card anymore unless you have recovered all your files.

btw, 6gb card? there’s a reason I carry several 1gb cards :P i find that to be safer

the important thing now is, till you’ve recovered the images, don’t overwrite the card. keep it in a safe place till you get 6gb of data back (which you generally will, don’t worry)
