SD card problems
Daughter no1 has retd. from hols and "seems" to have lost all her photos from the sd card in her camera.
Day 1 and 2 photo's "seem" to have gone. Day 3's were there ( until I did a scan and fix disk errors ) then they were gone ( I
had already copied them though)
So to summarize
there was the usuall DCIM folder of "X" Mbs of photo's (day 3 photo's) intact and a " file " which was a bit non
descript and could not/would not let us read/view it.
A scan and fix errors created a DCIM " File" of 34 Kb and no viewable pics whatsoever ( not even day 3's).
A properties search on the disc suggests 90% of the disc used ( some 1.9 GB ).
This would suggest that everything is there somewhere but I cannot for the life of me find it or view it.
Help please.
Thanks in advance
Gary

Phoney SD card ? --- not unknown for some SD cards to be low capacity cards with the file system knobbled to make it appear as a larger
card.
You could try having dig with undelete360 http://www.undelete360.com/

Pretty sure its a genuine card. IIRC its one of my old ones.
ETA I did a copy to a cd and it comes up as 314 files and a total of 1.8Gb used as well.
Again nothing to be seen on the cd but the pc says they are there???

does it work in the camera? if so use a lead to that to get the photos.
else, there are many recovery utilities for memory cards, which look at the files, not the index (directory) and I have seen good results. - not tried
the one mentioned above though

There are plenty of image recovery program's available, search, download, then run the recovery
They usualy take some considerable time as they scan the full card on every sector for data.
Don't give up just yet but do not format the card

Nice one Snapper job done and a recommendation for the ZAR software (free) it even found files that had previously been deleted.
The only thing we can think of was that we took the camera from the cold of outside into the warm/humid reptile/butterfly house and the resulting
condensation internally may have caused the muck up.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
