I'm trying to fix a problem for a coworker and I'm stumped.....she took out her memory card took it to walmart and printed some pictures. When she put it back in the bb it would'nt show up. I went to options,media card and it said the card needed to be formated but that will delete the media on it. I put the card in my pc and it said can't read because of i/o error. How can I format the card without loosing the pics??
Are the pins straight and clean, is the adapter clean?
If they are, and it still won't read, there is freeware that will pull the files, I don't remember the name, but google corrupt memory card data retrieval freeware. Pulled some pics off of a bad card with it.
Make sure the pins are clean on the card and the adapter, usually an i/o error is a bad connection.

Ok I downloaded data doctor and it just says it does'nt see a memory card in my computer. I've checked connections the pins look fine. It wan't retrieve it. Is this card just trash now?
here are a few programs that might help to retrieve data, just google them and read more about them, the last 3 programs can be found on cnet. They may or may not apply to this problem. Also if one of these recover pics , you will probably have to format card afterwards. I had a problem with bb reading micro card, after i formated the card it worked fine.

One other longshot is to image the card, then transfer it to a known good card or the pc itself to try and get the media off.
Maybe during transport, your friend zapped it with some static.
