Hi JPOnion,

Yes a card reader would probably be more help than using the camera.

I use photorescue myself to recover files, I have posted links in other threads in the forums, probably the digital forum from memory.

It really is a bit hit and miss with getting them back, but seeing you probably haven't written to the card since this happened there is a good chance you can recover the files.

By Administrator access do you mean to install the program or to access the resources ???
