i was viewing my pictures from my memory card on my computer, i have a card reader built it. well halfway though looking at the pictures the computer starts to freeze up. so i give it some time, get it moving again. i eject the card, and i did do it the proper way. it said it was safe to remove card.

well i tried to put the card back in to try looking again, it asks me if i want to format the card. obviously i clicked no. i then remove the card from my computer and put it back in the camera. well its asking the same thing. it gives me 2 options; FORMAT CARD, or POWER OFF. so again i just hit power off.

well i cant get this thing to read. did i ruin the pictures? is there a way to recover them? would my computer have temporarily saved the pictures somewhere on the computer?? please help i have some really good pictures i want to save.

BTW it is an XD card for an olympus camera

PS. i put this in here because i know a lot of people in here are very knowledgeable with cameras
