Corrupt photo files
Today I shot about 290 photos on Lexar Professional 4gb.
(as advised I reformat it after each image dump) I plugged the card into the card reader and Zoombrowser card reader came up and all but 20 images had question marks on them. I pulled the plug and reinstalled it this time all shots were there except a couple of blocks of 10 - 20 with question marks. So pulled it out again and this time a windows box popped up problem with the drive want to scan it OK it fixed the problem as no photos on the drive now means there is no problem. I have used a few different data recovery utilities an salvaged 17 photos. Now the weird bit, it also shows the corrupted files so I selected them all and saved to local drive, it said not enough space. I went back to the recovery program and all the corrupted files are between 900mb and 4.4 GB each. Funny how a 4gb drive can hold 270 files at that size. Has anyone used any programs to fix corrupted CR2 RAW files or should I be glad it wasn't a paid gig wipe the tears and move on? |

CardRecovery will let you pull any extension files off a corrupt card. www.cardrecovery.com Lexar is the only memory card I have ever had any trouble with and I won't use the brand. I have recovered many things for friends from Lexar media. Most of the time the errors are just mistakes in data pointers so they indicate the start and stop of the files incorrectly. It's always interesting to hear that your card will now hold an order of magnitude more data then it did when you got it. :-) Use film next time and this won't be an issue. :-) -Jim |

Good utilities of the sort ignore the disk file structure and look for file patterns on the disk, however, CR2 might not be in the utility BOT. (Bag of tricks). Search for utilities that are specific to CR2. The only utility I've used is the SanDisk utility and it seems to work fine - note that I was testing the utility after "erasing" and "formatting" so all the files except 1 or 2 were recovered. It found both raw and JPG's. -- gmail originated posts are filtered due to spam. |

I'm reading this in rec.hoto.equipment.35mm (don't know if it's cross-posted elsewhere) so I feel comfortable in suggesting you switch storage media and try Velvia, Ektachrome, Kodachrome (until Dec 31), Portra, Ektar or Tri-X. Of course they're not re-writable, but they won't do what your Lexar card did, either. -- Michael |

Extachrome? No E6 in New Zealand? Unbelievable. Well, it's easy enough to process youself. All you need is a changing bag, a tank and accurate temperatures. -- Michael |
