Memory card in my Nikon D70 is screwed?

Some of the folders have question marks etc as the name, and they won't open. It seems the pictures are slowly being affected, and too won't open.

Any ideas?

This is why you're not supposed to use memory cards for storage. The proper way to use a camera and memory card is to copy your photos to a computer for storage every day, then format your card while it is in the camera to erase the data.

Uuntil you can do the following, use one of your other cards after formatting it in your camera

* Use a free program like the one published by Transcend, called RevoveRx. Use your card reader since this can take a long time an you do NOT want your camera powering down in the midst of the recovery cycle.
* Once they are safely on your computer, format the memory card using the format feature on your camera.
* After formatting the card, use your anti-virus program to scan the card for any malware or hidden viruses. It is extremely rare, but it is possible that something infected your card.
* In the future, at the end of each shooting day, copy all the images to your computer and then format the card again using the format feature on the camera. It is very important to do this routinely.

Toast!

Throw it away and buy a new one. Less headaches and heartaches.

You might be able to recover the photos but no guarentees.

Try this, Download the program http://www.recuva.com/...recuva.com?
You must not take anymore pictures on your card.
You will need a card reader either on your computer or an external USB card reader? Put the card in the card reader, open the recuva program, the welcome to the recuva wizard will open, click on next.next box, choose 'pictures', click on next, next box choose 'on my media card' click next. Check 'enable deep scan' click on start. Wait, for it to do it's magic.

You need to use a card reader either one already in your computer (some have one, some don't). Or buy an external USB card reader. They are around 10.00 and can be found at walmart, bestbuy, frys, probably target.
The problem with built in card readers is that they will usually only read up to a 2G card.

I was not able to recover photos by hooking the camera up to the pc with the usb cord, it just won't work.

This is the important part. Choose the pics you want to recover, then choose recover, a box comes up asking where you want to save to. Choose documents/my pictures or wherever you want to save your pictures too. The pictures ONLY save to your pc and not the card.

Then format your card in the camera, this should be done with every major download to avoid corruption.
