Recovering lost / corrupted files from SD card

[ilesmark]

Hi all

Just got back from a month in Ethiopia and have a bit of a problem with one of the SD cards I was using while I was away.

I bought a couple of pen drives SPECIFICALLY to be able to make backup copies of what was on my SD cards in case I lost them. When I put the card into someone's PC out there, I selected all 852 pics and vids and hit copy and then tried to paste them into the pen drive; that was when the problem happened. Only 32 showed up on the pen drive and suddenly only the same 32 remained on the SD card ie only 32 showed on screen. But the data is still there, as the card shows itself as being nearly full like it did before I put it into that PC. So it doesn't look like a simple case of recovering stuff that's been deleted by accident.

A friend has already recommended good old Recuva, but this is one of the times I kick myself for having bought a Mac. I've already run FileJuicer (for those familiar with Macs) but all this has brought up is the 32 already on there. I can get access to a PC if necessary.

Please help if you have any ideas - am really worried about the prospect of losing these pics and videos

Thanks in advance
