I have an Olympus SP-350 DC with a 1GB xD storage card. Yesterday, I tried to transfer the images to my Laptop, and used a digital card reader.
The first attempt resulted in me being able to view the images, altho they were in a subfolder that I don't recall having made myself. I was for some reason unable to make an actual transfer to the Laptop, so decided to use the camera to laptop cable.

Here's where the problem comes in: When connected to the camera, the xD card ONLY shows a subfolder "DCIM", which I assume is internal memory. It does NOT have any of the other subfolders where the pictures (If not now corrupt) reside. I can't find the pics at all......

Any thoughts as to whether I've actually destroyed my vacation pictures, or have simply put them on the card somewhere where I can't find them??

The really funny thing is that when I put the xD card back in the camera, it still shows the same "number" of remaining pics as it did when I took it out. Seems to me that if I'd actually ERASED them, it would reset the number....
Can anyone help?? Thanks much in advance and Best, Dave
