How can i retrieve my pictures in an SD card?

My 1GB SD card shows an error message when i put it in my digital camera and i can't retrieve my pics anymore, i even try to use my USB memory card reader but it doesn't read either. My camera supports up to 4GB of SD/SDHC card, i just bought it last Ocotber only. Help!

How can i retrieve my pictures in an SD card?
Did you format the card before you first used it? And did you also format it regularly after that, especially after uploading all images to your computer?


If the answer is no, then your card most likely has errors caused by you not formatting it.


Don't format it now, though, or else you will lose your images, which you may be able to retrieve if you use a file/card recovery program of some sort.


In future you should remember to format your card after everytime you upload your images.


If file recovery does not work (and you have formatted the card before), then it could be the card itself. It should still be under warranty...so take it back.
Reply:What does the error say, does it say it's locked by any chance. if it does say it's locked, take the memory card out, look on the side of it, there is a small white or black strip, move that up or down, one way will unlock it and the other will lock it again, unlock it and put it back into the camera or card reader and it should work, if not it's got me stumped.
