- yes i should still have the original CD software that came with the camera, but it will be in the box back in Australia

- i will check out the Recuva software and get it dowoaded etc!!

All

many thanks for all the suggestions / advice, is very much appreciated, and i am working my wa through them methodically

- only 10 of the 232 jpg files display in the camera. the same 10 files that work ok and can be viewed on the laptop

- yes, i still have all the original files on the original sd card. worst case i will be mailing it to Pentax head office with a stern "please explain" letter
(after spending around 2000 dollars on Pentax kit, i was hoping for a better result.)
..and a request for help.

[ - i will consider steam rollering the pentax kit in a youtube vIdeo in the future. but not yet ]

i am travelling back from my mates wedding in Minsk, to AustralIa, via a visit to London. so, please excuse my delayed responses to any of your very helpful and considered responses!!

I was shooting JPG

i cannot seem to get the 200+ wedding photos i took yesterday with my K70 to display.

have tried MS Photo, MS Explore, Chrome, Corel, Paint. MS File Manager and Cyberlink.

at the moment i am running RescueDisk from ScanDisk, but i think that will try and fix problems with the actual disk - when i suspect that the problems are with the jpg files themselves

10 of the 232 files display - the balance of the photos return errors of file format not supported, cannot dispaly etc, slightly different message depending on the program being used

total size of the 232 files is 2.32Gb

the details of the jpg file sizes show that there is something there, some pg files are up to 10Mb in size

15 of the files show up as 0Mb

during the day, when i was taking photos, the photo review would show me that all the photos were being successfully taken

any advice on how to fix would be welcome.

its very disappointing and worrying

(and apologies in advance if this topic has already been covered, i did do various searches to try and find advice, here on the forum and on the internet. no luck so far.)

thanks / regards
