Corrupted Raw files. A success story!

I have ran into an interesting solution to a problem I see some people experience - corrupted Raw files with yellow or pink or orange horizontal stripes across the image.
I had this happening to me 2 or 3 times, completely random, long after the images were transferred to a HD, processed, posted and therefore wiped off the CF card.
Yesterday, I needed a couple of my old images that were kept in RAW in Lightroom and to my disappointment they were corrupted.
I've tried opening them in Photoshop, in other application hoping I maybe able to extract JPEG, but nothing worked.
Then, I've tried opening it in DPP 3.7 and when I opened those files in Edit mode, they looked ok. So, I've created a copy of one CR2 file, imported it into LR and then, lo and behold, it came unscathed. I couldn't believe my eyes, so I opened the second corrupted file and just saved it on top of itself in the Edit mode of DPP. It worked!
I couldn't be happier!

I can't promise it'll work 100%, I don't even know it'll work on your computer, with your corrupted files, but this is just another possible solution that might recover your files.

Cheers

Well, that's good news! corrupt files can be a mystery, and it's good to know that your approach got good results!

Another Success Story.
I'm experiencing the same problem in lightroom doing portraits in a white background. The streaks are appearing at specific corner of the photograph. After moving the exposure setting in lightroom the problem disappeared for me.
