Hi, I took some pictures of my daughters Homecoming last
night. I usually copy them from the camera a Sony Cyber
shot, directly to hard disk then copy them to a IOMEGA
CD/RW 48x24x48. This time I unfortunately "moved" them
from the camera to the Iomega directly (they are no
longer on the camera". The Iomega show's them with the
right size on the cd, but I cannot open the pictures.
All the other pictures say have a small .jpg extenstion
these have a capital .JPG extension. When Microsoft
Picture and Fax viewer looks at them it say's no preview,
when I try other things it says not supported extension.

The photos are still on your memory stick, despite the fact that you "move"
them instead of copying them.
You can recover them.
Make a new folder on your C drive.

Name it Recovery

Go to this site:

http://www.foto-erhardt.de/modules.php?name=Downloads

Download the free file: Digital Image Recovery in your Recovery folder.

The file will be Digital Image Recovery.zip

Once in your folder you need to "unzip" or "extract" this .zip file.

When you unzip or extract this .zip file select your Recovery folder for the
destination.

You will now have the file: 32fsu21.exe in this folder.

Double click on it to install the software.

Once installed you can change the language from German to English when the
software start.

Follow the directions on your screen after you start this software, very
easy to use and very good.

Simply connect your camera to your computer before you start this software,
then open My Computer. You memory stick will be listed as a Removable Drive
and will have a letter showing for it, like E,F,G or H depending on what is
installed on your computer. Then you just use the software to recover what
is on this drive.



You can also try changing JPG to jpg. Right click on a photo, click on
Rename on the opening menu and type in jpg to replace JPG. Although, I doubt
this will work since original file names from memory sticks are JPG, not jpg
and XP opens them.



I don't know enough about the software you used to move files directly to a
CD/RW but somebody may know and help you recover from there.



Maybe you never used a zip/unzip software. If so post again and I will find
a free one for you or just use google to find one.

Several available.
