Transfering memory from rower to pc

First off, I looked and couldn't find my answer so I am sorry if this is a repost.
My memory card has been full for over a year and I hadn't transfer in about that time too. I thought the internal memory will keep going. I have a 2006 model d. Well, I am finally trying to transfer and the last workout on my spreadsheet is from 2007. Which is not correct, I have been rowing since then. I plugged the usb into the machine and it updated, then I hit the transfer log data to backup file and it opened to my spreadsheet which the last workout recorded was 1/28/07. Is there something else I need to do or is my data for 1 1/2 years gone since I am a slacker on backing up memory?

You need a few things:

1. a LogCard (should have one shipped with your rower)
2. a USB lead (should have one shipped with your rower)
3. a laptop or PC (or MAC) - ideally internet connected.
4. a copy of the LogCard Utility from http://www.concept2.com/us/service/software/lcu/

Connect the PM3/PM4 to your computer. Run the LCU software and it will do everything you need. Downloads, backups and cleanups of your logcard. The LCU will also update your PM3/PM4 firmware to the latest version if you want.

The LCU can also automatically record your workouts on http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/log.asp

Thank you Citroen , I was very sad because I didn't know how to transfer my workout to my PC. I thought I must buy a Log Card reader for that , but now, all is clear for me. Thank you again !
Also it's looks like I'm wise enought to delete completely my workouts, but I see no big deal because I'm a begginer and there were no such a large amount of data

If you have workouts in the PM3/PM4 memory they will be invisible when you insert the logcard (and format it).

You need to choose

Main menu --> More options --> LogCard --> LogCard Utilities --> Move workout

to pick up the workouts from memory and store them on the card.

Yes indeed, I saw that, but I formatted the log card and after that I deleted the user, so my log and PM# memory is blank now.
Altought I think is no problem, because I am gonna row hard and fill the speces with new workouts !

Just for clarity, the utility cannot read direct from memory? The PM3 has to have the logcard inserted to transfer workouts to the computer?
