(Oooh, lovely.) Then I closed the laptop and put it to sleep. The next morning I wanted to grab some photos and rather than booting up the mac and ejecting the card, I just yanked the CF card out. I went out and shot photos, looked at them on the camera screen (ooh, beautiful), then when I got home, stuffed the card back in the card reader, turned on my mac and ..... NO NEW PHOTOS. the computer -- and this is why it tells you do do this when you're on a mac -- rewrote the new FAT with the old one. I was able to retrieve them with some effort using Get Data Back for FAT, but I wanted to let people know, when your macintosh says "do not remove this device without ejecting it" -- it's not kidding. kc _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
