microsd card issues

[Running_on_Wheel]

well i have an olympus camera that i brough to an amusement park to record video of me and my son on the various rides. well on one of the rides i dropped the camera and i think i broke it, which is fine. the lense wont return back into the camera body.

well when i got home i tried to get the videos that i did take off of the camera. every attempt ive tried i get the same message "please insert disk". ive tried plugging the camera into the computer, ive tried various memory stick readers and tried using various microSD attachments all with the same results.

sure id like to be able to get the stuff off the card ... but if i cant i would like to reformat the card and be able to use it.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

"please insert disk"

Sounds like NOTHING can access the card which means you won't be able to format it either. Time to TOSS it.

Here are some good (freeware) flash drive recovery tools that might be worth trying:
