[qanda]This question is published in the hardware section for the Kodak High Performance flash memory card - 1 GB - SD. Click here to view full specs.[/qanda]Is there any way to recover my lost pictures on this sd card! I now reads as having 420megs instead of 1 gb
you could try some data recovery software…
how did you lost your pictures? formatted? deleted? if it is physical damaged, i do not think it is easy to retrive your pics.
by the way, data recovery software will cost you at least $70.
i used Easeus data recovery (it is purchased by my company :), and this is the only data recovery software i’ve used. i alway backup all my important data to a fixed position. ) to got back my game records in USB…but during the options, i found a lot of pics i got 2 or 3 month ago. may be you can have a try.
Try a free utility first. I’ve used DiskDigger with good results. Recuva is another tool, tho one I have not tried.
Another option would be PC Inspector Smart Recovery. It’s freeware, but there is no Vista compatible version yet (according to their FAQ).

Absolutely useless, and incredibly time consuming, on every occasion I’ve made the mistake of trying it.
Photorec is also freeware, and useful for recovering photo’s - designed to retrieve them from corrupted memory cards.
It’s recovered pictures I never knew I had … unfortunately, I wasn’t after any picture’s … but it recovered photo’s/pictures very well 
If the memory card is physically damaged, you are screwed.

Sounds good. Thanks for the head-up

I never had an issue with this tool…

Me either. It’s just useless, and a waste of time.
At best it’s a slow undeleter … but you can get programs that can undelete files in a matter of seconds, rather than hours of HDD scanning, not to mention the wear & tear on the HDD’s.
I used it once…it got more images off a damaged stick than any of 4 or 5 other softwares I tried.
…maybe a question of what caused the problem?
thanks for all the replies tried the recover software nothing i would imagine the disk half fried:)
