    Install and run recuva to scan the card for recoverable data.
    Make sure you untick the annoying Yahoo options during the install.

    Cheers. I have used recuva previously and found it to be hit and miss. On the road for the next 5/6 hours so won't get a chance to try. If it doesn't work does anyone know of data recovery specialists in Cork/Munster-

    Running a Recuva deep Scan now but is it any good for corrupted data?

    According to the disk properties there is nearly 4GB of Data on the card so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

    Got 748 files back but I'm still missing hundreds more. Anyone know the next step after Recuva?

    Phew, managed to get all 2,000+ photos back using both Recuva and the windows file recovery tool.

    Cheers for suggestions.

    I found something called UFS Explorer to be really excellent.

    It's not free, though... there are good free ones out there.

    Good luck!

    Sorry for bumping, but it seems I have the same problem.

    I've been taking photos on my SD card all day after I formatted it in the camera. I'd like to recover those photos if possible. I put the card in my PC to view them and they disappeared as I was viewing them. I had a message pop and say the files are corrupted and I need to format the card. Is there any way to recover these files before re-formatting?

    I use a card reader, the first time I inserted an sd card, Norton advised scanning, which I did and lost my files. I have learned my lesson and don't scan sd cards or external drives either.
