Format issue on Lexar 1GB CFC

So I have had this LExar 1GB card for almost two years now, and today
when I loaded it into my camera, I got a blinking [FOR] error message
and couldn't shoot until I formatted. So I did. Now I'm trying to
view them in RSE, but they aren't shwoing up on the H drive. Nor can
I view them in CS2. I opened up "My Computer" and went to the H
drive, and I got a message that says "The disk in drive H is not
formatted. Do you want to fromat it now?" If I try, I lose the
images. They are still viewable in the camera LCD, BTW. Any ideas?

Before you mess with it more, get recovery manager from

You can still recover even if the card is formatted unless the card has
a controller (or whatever that circuitry is called) error in which case
you may be otl.
