1 Gb CF card unreadable, HELP ME!!!

[opus]

Even if the camera says it can't read the card, what happens if you go to "format" in the camera anyway?

I think those CF cards are very sensitive to being ejected properly. I lost about 10 images off a card once because my hard drive crashed before I could eject it properly.

If reformatting it in the camera or computer doesn't work, then you may need Lexar's own software.

With my 1GB Lexar CF card I got a USB jumpshot cable I didn't need, and their ImageRescue software on the card.
Fool that I am, I formatted the card in the camera before reading the instructions
I sent in an email to Lexar Tech Support entitled "User Stupidity" describing my error.
Some very nice person at Lexar emailed me the download links to the latest software this morning !

You're not the only one who did that! I think the new 80x cards have version 2.0 but I haven't bought any yet to find out. Never actually needed it but a good thing to have anyway.
