Hi!
I had a bunch of images on my compactflash FC-32MH card, which worked and looked just fine on my A75 camera. I put my compactflash card into my brand new (everything is brand new!) sandisk reader/writer, and went to check out the files on the computer (laptop), to find that they were distorted by big vibrant bands of colour, or corrupted and thus not there at all. Some images I was able to view once, had the funny colours. and then they were not viewable.
I had already successfully used that reader (on a different computer) for my other memory disk, and these were pictures from the zoo, so they were special, and I was shocked and worried! I ejected the card and put it back in, and then the strangest thing happened... my images are not there at all!!! I can't access them. Not on my computer or on my camera.
I can take new pictures (I have not erased or reformated the disk), but it still distorts them when I put them into the reader. These new test shots have not disappeared yet though. And they view fine on my camera screen.
My zoo images are still taking up memory someplace, and it says I only have 7 pictures left, but there are no other images there!
Does anyone know what might have happened and how I might retrieve my images and prevent this from happening again? Any information would be very helpful. I have searched the web and are getting frusterated with the lack of answers. :P
Thank you!
