ok...so what youre saying is that you have to delete pics that you dont want from the computer rather than from the actual camera??? and that i probably have lost some pictures??? :o(
OH MAN!!!
i was hoping that wasnt the case!!!

Occasionally, I've been able to recover some missing pictures in this exact situation by finding another xD card reader and trying that.

Also, once I was able to use the camera to delete the corrupted image files, then was successful in downloading the rest. You've probably lost at least one picture, though. Hopefully you can get the rest.

Be sure to share those pix with us!

Actually, I meant that you should try to delete the corrupted images on the camera, then try to download the rest. If you have 500 images on the card, and the 250th is corrupted, that might prevent you from downloading the last 250 - the downloading can get hung up at the corrupted image. Better to delete the one (or two, or however many), then see if you can get all the others. Definitely worth trying the card in someone else's xD reading device first, though. Do you have a printer with an xD slot, or know someone who does?

Brand new when and are you downloading your images at least every week or so and then format the card after all your images have been safely copied to your hard drive?

If you are in the habit of deleting images from the card using the delete button on the camera, you are risking corruption of the card ... do all your deleting using your computer after looking at your files using the computers large screen ...no the tiny LCD on your camera.
