sounds that way if the camera can still display the images... first off, is there some direct transfer method from the camera? since it can still display the images, it can presumably read & zip the files out a digital connection to some type of machine even if not linux, assuming the camera has a digital or serial or similar output.. > Is there anyway I can try to repair this broken file system?

Also, I want to know > whether there is anything else I can try before fsck. the mtools programs may access the files differently than the mount command, it might be worth trying 'mdir' and if successful 'mcopy' to try reading the files without messing with the fs in read/write mode. secondly, you might try accessing it via dosemu or real dos (and try scandisk) after that look at dosfsck(8) (aka fsck.msdos(8)), which claims "repair" abilities. doesnt partition magic do some repair-type-stuff? no clue if that includes vfat... _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
