All pics on SD card gone

The other day I took a whole lot of pictures and wanted to transfer them to my laptop only to discover that they were all gone. Completely! The folder still exists but there are no pictures whatsoever. Everything else on the SD card is untouched. The pictures were there before, I looked at them on the way home.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm not sure what I did wrong and how this happened.
Does anybody know how to restore those pictures? I found some programs for data recovery but none of them work with SD cards inside PPCs.
Any help would be much appreciated!

UPDATE:
I just saw that the camera saves to the device but not to the SD car at all. Anybody know how to fix this?
Hanmin: GetBackData can't be installed on the Prophet and if I install it on my laptop there is no option to restore data on a device that's plugged in. At least I didn't find any...

This happend to me too. I don't know why. I could not recover my pictures. To allow the Camera function to save new pictures in the memory card again I had to delete the already empty 'My Pictures' folder in the memory card.
I looked at the Registry and found the paths in saveto for pictures and videos were different, I edited it to point to the memory card.

Jayxz: you're supposed to use the Data Recovery software on your PC, using a memory card reader to access the card.
You should be aware though, if you've used the card at all since the problem, you may have permanently lost your data.
You can find specialist apps to go through, sector by sector, finding jpgs etc, but if the original data is corrupted, it'll be messy.

I did have the same problem, but when I flashed the 1.48 ROM I obviously started from scratch again and was just more choosy about what I installed on the phone. I got myself a 16GB card and just use that as the primary work area. I only install things like theme mods and more commonly used apps on the phone (coreplayer, tweaking apps, utilities etc..)
It's a pain, but the way I see it is that I could have a 16GB iPhone and be in exactly the same position as I am now.

I didn't have this problem, I know it's better to never install in main memory and to prefer to install in sd (16go)

so is it ok to just install everything to the sd card then instead of the phone inc luding sense changes etc??

Problems with Memory Card or possibly Device

I am no longer able to see my memory card when i connect my phone to my PC and can no longer see it when i go into file explorer!! Can someone tell me what maybe wrong or possible solutions. It was just working a little bit ago and then i can no longer get into the memory card through my PC or on the phone.

if i put a different memory card in the phone it will read it, it just wont read the card that came with the phone for some reason, what the hell is going on here?

Ehh not looking good here. While your phone is connected to the PC make sure 'Disk Drive' is selected and not 'Activesync'. If nothing still, I suggest placing the SD card in a USB reader and plug it directly into the PC. You should have your answer there. Good luck.

i just think its weird that my phone will read other memory cards and not the one that came with it, but when i put the 16gb card in a diff phone it is readable?

starkall, I would suggest copying everything that's on the card to your PC (using another phone or a card reader), placing the card back in your HD2, and doing a format right on the phone using the native utility for that (settings-all settings-system). This has cleared up the "disappearing card trick" for a bunch of people

when i use a card reader for my pc it wont even show up, can anyone send me the stock files that come on the original SD card. Thank you

i tried doing the facotry reset also and it still wont read the card, im lost i guess LOL

yeah sounds like a bad card. there should be a dl list of all the stock apps here on xda. look in the htc leo section, i believe there is a sticky on it and that you can dl each .cab one by one. the only thing that you may not be able to find here is the transformers movie files due to copyright. other than that, i'd hit up tmobile and get a replacement phone or sd card or both.

is there a way to delete all the icons from my phone that dont work now, like transformers, blockbuster, mobitv, barnesnoble etc... since i cant use them

Using file explorer (either on the phone or through activesync), just navigate to windows/start menu. There you will find the .lnk icons for everything you find on your start menu and in quicklinks. Delete or rearrange those (into folders for example) however you wish...they're just links.
EDIT: for mobitv, blockbuster, etc (everything except the movies really) you can download and reinstall the apps...they're all available at the thread ryan562 mentioned, and here's a link to it (it's also stickied at the top of this forum section):

Just look for the two links there with "extracted cabs" in the title

the movies is what i wanted most LOL i called HTC and they are sending me a new card but are out of stock at the time being, BUMMER i know!!!!! I put my buddies SD card out of his HD2 in my phone and everything works so hope i get my new card soon, my son loves to watch transformers.

[HELP] My phone is acting up!..

Alright well randomly when i would go to the photo album i could scroll through a few photos, then "We're Sorry..." A problem has occured with Manila.exe
I did some research and people that tried formating their SD Card, got it to work again. Well since it worked for them i decided to try it...not knowing its just going to delete everything from my SD Card...So I deleted everything from my SD Card.. now what? I take it i should do a factory reset? Will that put all the default stuff back on the SD Card, like Transformers 1 & 2?
At the moment i writing all my contacts down...but can someone please help me figure this out? I just wanna go to bed cause i got work in the morning..
The HTC HD2 is such a hassle, theres always something wrong with it.

The movies are gone. Sorry. Do a backup or copy sdcard contents to your desktop next time.

Nope. You should always back up your content that is on your SD card before you format. Its gone for good.

Well **** my lifeee. Ok would T-Mobile be able to fix this? Cause this is just getting too confusing. I hate this phonneee...also my phone isnt reading my SD Card.

Do you have it connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode? If so, your phone won't see your SD card while it's connected that way, only while it's connected via activesync.

Hmm, well yes it was lol. Is there a site or some source i can just download the default SD Card files from?

Not the movies. The games etc can be found in the sticky at the top of this section titled "Links to cabs, ROMS, how to's, & Jaime's "New to WinMo & Absolute newbie tweak guide"...in there are links with all the other stock apps from the HD2 (and a bunch of other stuff you should probably check out).

You might be able to go to a T-Mo store and see if they will swap out your sdcard with one from a return unit.
Don't give up on your hd2, it is a great phone. Everyday I find something new about my phone that makes me happy I went with it. WinMo is complicated, but once you get it set up, it runs really well.

Well im kinda stuck with this phone for 2 years. Not much I can do. So far it pisses me off alot, like when i receive a text, my phone freezes for about like 15 seconds while it loads to my phone. That and the fact its slow and it just fails as an OS.

You really need to read that new-to-winmo guide in the thread I mentioned above. In fact, here's the direct link for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688928
Then go back and read everything else in that thread I pointed you to...with a little care, WM can be a wonderful OS...I wouldn't trade it for any other, personally. There's solutions for every one of the issues you've mentioned, if you'll just take the time to read and learn here at xda.

I believe there is s fix for the text lag, but I don't know where it is. I must be lucky because I don't have the text or music tab lags. I have around 500 texts with about 350 from one person and I get very little lag loading messages and I have 8 plus gb of music and the sense music player works great.
Try Cookies Home Tab or maybe one of the custom roms.

Okay well I still cant view my photos without "Manila.exe" to crash. Should I just restore my phone, or is there a fix.

Yes if it's still doing that after the card reformat, a hard-reset might be the best shot at clearing it up. Are these pics you've taken with the camera, or ones you copied to your SD card? If it's the latter, how many pics do you have on there?
Also, just fyi, you don't have to write your contacts down to save them...if you just run the myphone app that's already on your phone, it will back them up along with your text messages, and allow you to restore them to the phone after a hard-reset or a ROM flash.

Well i saved a bunch of pictures i got off google on too my phone, and thats when it started having the error. Um where is the myphone app located?

You can copy all your contacts to your sim card instead of writing them down...just saying to save you some time.

or use mobile back up.
But make sure your MicroSD isn't corrupt. Try a different MicroSD and see if it works. It might be the card reader in the phone.
Might be able to get a warranty replacement if that is the case.

Im just going to use Microsoft My Phone its easier, and i dont have to click one by one just to add contacts to my sim card. Um im sure my SD card is fine, it just has nothing on it lol. Im going to run the the T-Mobile store tomorrow and see if then can exchange the SD card for one with all the default stuff on it.

Alright well i backed up everything i needed on Microsoft My Phone. Now im just going to do the hard reset.

Once you've done that, just run the myphone app again...it will have you sign in, then it will update the app, and then it will download the contacts and messages etc back down to your phone.

Your photos and videos should be under Camera if taken with it, there is a little icon on the folder if it's external. Otherwise in their respective folders. The Gallery has both your internal and external medias per default (not even sure it can be changed, unless you manually hide them). I'm thinking your SD card might be bad, which would also explain the high memory notification you get on reboot. Backup what's on it to your pc or other device, format it and copy the stuff that you need/want back on it.

Do you still get the high memory notification after formatting? If so, test something: Format the sd card, put it in your phone with nothing on it and reboot to see if you get the notification. If you don't, the issue is one or a few of your files on it. If you do tho, the sd card is faulty or simply doesn't play well with the S7.

Sounds like you had a faulty device. The issue you've experienced are quite isolated. Sucks though cause it's a great device
