Never know Transcend Card is having this type of error. Normally found in Harigawari Card Only .....

Don't think you can recover the data as the information is jumbled up.

Tried putting into another DC and see if it reads? It might be the card's faulty, there seems to be a thread somewhere on recovery software, do a search and see?

If last resort, then no choice lor format.

I have the software, but then cannot send u since it is not a shareware. You can download a trial version online to see if you can recover the images (do a search, there are various softwares that works) You need an external card reader and for your sectors to be not over written.

The trial software's does the same thing except you cannot save. But at least you know whether it is possible to recover.

No worries, I've tried formatting a few times and it works. Unless the info is corrupted or overwritten, they can be recovered.

PM me if you need anymore help.

no no no! the data can be recovered even if the card is formatted! As long as u dun write over the card again and use the formatted sectors, the program can recover ur images!

I'll find the link to the trial software, download it and try if u can recover the images. U can't save as I mentioned but at least u know whether ur photos are still in ur card. After u do, maybe u can consider paying for the program or asking people who have it to help u out.

I'll do a search and post in a while.

DUN GIVE UP!

All the picts? Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that.

No prob, glad to be of assistance.

I think from what you said, it appears that the data got corrupted, probably while writing or reading.

Sometimes we really can't blame the card.

My card failed on me just yesterday when I was at Sitex trying to take some picts. It was more of my bad habit instead of the card being faulty. I always immediately click to view the picts after taking a burst of shots, which sometimes screws up the writing of the last few picts, causing a bad write.

The first time it happened i blamed the card and realised after a few occasions that its actually the kuku user (me! :bsmilie: )

So check where you went wrong so that it never happens again. If you do everything right and the card still fails, smash it. heheheeeeee

make it a habit to format the card whenever start a new shoot...
