I have lost photos on a 1gb memory card. I plugged my Canon Power shot with the memory card inside into the USB port of my laptop and proceeded to try recover deleted photos. The Recuva program doesn't recognize the USB connection. I've looked at other forum questions and tried the suggestions (other than purchasing a card reader) with no luck. If I purchase a card reader and plug it into the USB port will the program recognize it as a drive? If so why can't it recognize the camera in the same USB port as a drive?
When I plug the camera in and check Win explorer it recognizes the camera but not as a drive. Can anyone offer ideas on how to read this card? I also have printer with a card slot. Will that help?
