|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board EXTREME card failure. Any help? Tom Sperduto, Photographer Piscataway | NJ | USA | Posted: 9:40 PM on 06.22.06 ->> Here's a first for me. I just got home from shooting a newspaper freelance assignment. I put my 8GB Sandisk in my Lexar card reader as I always do, and the card shows on the computer as a D200. I shoot with both a D200 and a D2X, but this card was from my D2X. I start ingesting the images into Photo Mechanic as I have done countless times before but the images that appear are from the card I shot with this afternoon and reformatted. It wasn't even the same card in the reader. I eject the card and try again. This time all images on the card are corrupt and not a one will open. It gets better, I try to rescue the images with Image Rescue 2.0 but the card crashes image rescue everytime. Can anybody help? Please ??  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

(http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/} You can download it free to see if it can find your images, but you can't get your images without paying for it. What happened to me was I drug a card into the trash on my Mac and then removed the card. I actually removed it too early and got a message about "disc removal". I just clicked "yes" and put in the new card, and Whammo...The same thing you described happened. Photo Rescue salvaged about 95% of the images.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

My card was crashing image rescue everytime I put it in the reader. I reformatted a few minutes ago and now am waiting the 1 1/2 hours to see if image rescue saves my files.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If one card goes bad or gets lost, you will have others from whatever you are shooting.... Good Luck!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
