Hi,

I lent someone my Casio Exilim EX-Z750 to take on holiday and she's not been able to retrieve the photos so has given it back to me to have a look at. All of the photos are visible on the camera itself yet when I plug it into the PC, it finds the camera as a manageable device and can even open the folder (displaying some music files which were left on the SD card and the two "DCIM" folders in which photos ought to be kept) but loading the DCIM folders displays nothing - they're empty.

Any ideas? These photos are pretty important.

Just for a quick check, I put the SD card into my Cowon iAudio D2 and, when clicking into the DCIM folder, it finds another folder entitled 100CASIO and then can scout the photos inside that. It just seems to be that neither my PC or that of the person who borrowed the camera can find the 100CASIO folder.

EDIT: And, as another test, I tried copying the two DCIM folders across to a new folder on C: drive. If I copy them both at the same time, I'm told that a folder with this name already exists and given the corresponding options. Now the interesting part - one folder will copy across without providing that message (provided it's going into an empty folder) but the other still gives me that message even if it's being put into an empty folder.

EDIT 2: Woo, done it! Went to rename one of the folders to get rid of the name conflict and then it flicked across to let me rename the other folder (one is acting as a ghost of the other). Tricked the PC and ended up renaming one (as it turns out, this was the ghost one) and thus there is no duplicate and I'm able to access the proper folder.
