My girlfriend was transferring pictures from her memory card (Via the camera.) To her laptop computer but it froze, she cancelled the transfer but somehow has managed to corrupt her memory card. The memory card is now innaccessable although it does read as present but not formatted. Any attempt to format the disk results in failure and also the disk properties dialogue window lists its properties as having no space at all and containing the RAW file system.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated as she still has a couple hundred pictures on there to transfer.
Thanks
Andrew

This doesn't help I am afraid, Any of the programs I have can not access the memory card at all let alone scan for deleted or corrupted media. Data recovery at this point is not a viable option but gaining access to the media is. Even programs that claim to be able to access corrupted memory cards with the "unable to format" message do no work.
Thank you for your help though.
I am afraid it still doesnt work, it fails to get past the welcome screen or asks to format the memory card (Unsuccessfully), and it wont connect to the computer until it gets past the welcome screen, or if it does will only display internal memory not the memory card.
(Btw the two differences is because I tried two different camera, the first being the offending camera and the second a different one.)
Again thanks for the help but looks like we have a long time ahead.
That is Patriot SD flash. I guess that you will need to get support from Patriot but I doubt they can help much.
For Patriot support: http://www.patriotmem.com/
For the utility that can help with SD card: http://www.patriotmem.com/
You could try some third party recovery data for pictures in that card:
