I went to Europe and took over 100 pictures on my CF card using my digital camera. One day the camera would not show any pictures that I had taken. I was upset and tried everything to get them back. I put the card in my Axim and still could not see the pictures. My CF card just died. When I returned home I put the card in my reader and nothing. I tried every picture recovery software product out there. (including Digital Picture Recovery). No luck. I then went back to work where I keep my cradle and while synced I decided to try the faulty card in my Axim. Using Windows Exployer, I checked the CF card from my PC.

What luck, my Axim found all the pictures!! One photo was corrupted, but all the rest were there. I moved them to a CD and contacted the CF card company and they replaced my card as well. I don't know why the card reader connected to my PC did not see them, but going through Active Sync I could.

Just thought I would pass this on.
