None - they were offloaded from the camera.

file size for the good file and the bad file are IDENTICAL - yet I shipped a good file and a bad file to another computer - good 1 worked. Bad 1 did not.

Have you tried running "system restore"
from the Help Support section?

Restore has no effect.

I don't think it is an XP issue. I can not conceive of a methodology that would leave the files but corrupt them, or, since the file size is the same, would change the file association. Did you begin the write and then cancel the operation?

Wolfala,
Try Sandisk's Rescue Pro.

Rescue Pro

You should be able to recover all your old photos if you still have your media.
Don't know if it will work on your hard drives though.

Good luck.

Edit:

Try this instead:

FileRecovery Pro

Just found it looking at their site.

The files were being copied to the cue - it was taking forever so I cancelled the operation. The remaining files in cue I deleted as per option. I checked the log - all files that were cued were modified at the same time - 1143 am. Files that were not selected in cue were not affected. It is an XP issue - roxio wrote the code for the cd burning within XP - i'm not talking about using Nero or a 3rd party - this is the burning software that is native to XP if you have none other installed.

es, but what I am saying is that it was a GPF error. If you had some files being converted for the cue, and killed it mid stream, that is a bad thing. I don't know what it could have done, but that is a bad point in the procedure to attemt to abort.

What was done was done - whats the procedure to undo it? Thats my concern.

Lizking · « **Reply #24 on:** March 10, 2004, 11:33:20 PM »

Problem solving 101-figure out what caused the problem.

If the files are the exact same size, then the chances are they are not corrupt. If they will not open, check to make sure that the file assosiactions were not changed. If it is not that, then you probalby have an error in a pointer to the files, and I do not know how to fix that in a windows environment.

Ok there is a catch...I sent 1 good copy of a file over to another computer along with the non-working copy. The non working copy did not work on the other machine. The good copy did...so i'm not sure where that leaves me exactly.

If they are unrecoverable, just send an apply form to the FDB Squad. Once you're in you'll be able to replenish your porn pics folder in a second...
