Best way to recover images from corrupt card?

[neuroanatomist]

Thanks for the software tip, Jeff! Glad you got your pics back.

I bought a new ProSpec (Calumet) 8GB UDMA compact flash card yesterday and shot all day with it today...When I got home, there were only two images on the card.

The first card I used (a SanDisk Extreme IV that I've used for a couple of years) seems fine.

IMO, the take home message here is to stick with cards from SanDisk or Lexar. Even then, always format and test out a new card before relying on it for important shots!

Absolutely, the first SanDisk card I ever bought failed on me the first time I used it.
