I own an olympus FE-170, and was transferring 3 pictures from it to my
computer via a USB cable. I had done this many times before, with no
problems. But this time I had a cyclic error (I looked it up on the internet
and know what it is). My files are still there, as a check showed there was
198 MB of files on the camera. But browsing the camera using the computer,
there is only a file called "100OLYMP" (no extension, 16KB) which is the name
of the folder my pictures are stored in on the memory stick.When I open this
with Notepad, it has 16 rows of a Y with 2 dots above it. There is also a
folder called "101OLYMP", and when I try to access this folder, it says, "The
disk in drive E is not formatted. Would you like to format it now?". There
are no other files, even when I turn on hidden files and folders. When I turn
on my camera, it says the memory stick needs formatting. Can some one help
me? I have some really important pictures on there that I don't want to lose.
