recovering photos from a sd card.

[megatexture]

I've pulled my micro SD card out of my busted phone(smashed screen) to put it in my new one and now the phones saying its blank! I've got over 3 years of photos on it that are not backed up! any help would be great.

when I put it in my new phone it can see the photos but cant register any image just that they are there for about 5 seconds then it hides them, so I think they are still there.
when plugged into the pc it wont recognize that a SD card is plugged in.

both phones keep asking me if I wish to format it, I've said no every time.

I am hoping one of you have had luck with this kind of thing

There is a heap of free card recovery software on the net . Download one of the programs and recover. You might loose a few but majority will be fine. I've done it a few times now.

EDIT: here's some paid and free programs with reviews http://www.computerworld.com/article...-and-more.html

Have you tried putting the sd card back in the busted phone and connecting your phone to the pc?

I've just tried card recovery(kept freezing) and Pandora recovery (says its an unsupported format) and neither worked .

ill try it in another pc as I've only tried it on one pc so far and 3 phones,
