Bought a new memory stick. My daughter used her computer to transfer photos and film from memory cards direct on to this memory stick. Everything seemed to be going fine until we tried to view this material. The files show up as being on the stick, but when we tried to open them it just says preview not available. Help. Have we lost these images altogether or can we retrieve them somehow?

What type of card you are using? If you are using an SD card, make sure that it's not locked. You may want to try using different card reader or different computer.

You may try formatting the card under the Disk Management. To do this, please follow the steps below:

1. Right-click 'My Computer' (for Win XP) or 'Computer' icon (for Vista).
2. Select 'Manage'.
3. Locate and open the 'Disk Management'.
4.Connect the card and check if the drive letter for the card will appear.
5. You may right-click on the drive letter and format it.

If you get the same problem, then probably, the card already quit working.

you will need to do DATA RECOVERY and you will need special software to do it.

you might try photorec
