Format the memory stick in your camera. This will create the appropriate folder structure.

Hi Devika,
Buy a card reader that can read your memory card and connect to the computer. (Less than $8 in Sri Lanka). Connect it to PC and insert the card to the card reader.
Download Recuva and run it. select the memory card. Try to recover the files.
Best of Luck!
