Something happened when I brought in one of my memory sticks to have a CD burned. They said there was only one shot on it. It now states format error. I took 70 shots on it while on vacation in Florida. I really don't want the shots to be lost, does anyone know if there is a way to recover the picts when this happens?

Have you tried putting the memory stick back in the camera to see if the camera can still see the images?

Although this may not help it should give you some hope...
A friend brought round his "unformatted" smartmedia the other night. Although his camera reported an unformatted card I was able to read it both in my camera and card reader, and managed to recover all but one of his photos.
If you don't have one, now may be a good time to invest in a card reader - they tend to be more tolerant than cameras.
Your data *should* still be mostly intact on the card - you just need to find a way to get it off :-/ |

Also, you can put the stick directly into a printer that accepts them and see if you can print out a contact sheet.

Sony gives the following explanation for why this could have happened: ´´When Reading Or Copying Data On A Memory Stick To A Computer Via A MSAC-PC1/PC2 Memory Stick PC Card Adaptor, The Original Data On The Memory Stick Media May Become Corrupted.``
Unfortuanately this means the data (photos) will be lost. Re-formatting the card in your camera should fix the error though.

Camera won't show it, printer only prints one shot, computer only shows one shot!
I got the camera to take a new pic on the card and then it showed it was full, so I think there still must be a way to recover the others. Or am I just in denial?

Same thing happened to me with a flash card. I did a check-disk on it through a card reader in Windows and it recovered all of the files (with odd file names, but they were all actually jpg, just had to rename them with a .jpg extension) so I got everything back, then had to reformat the card to restore it to proper funcionality.
