SD card damage?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I was accessing the internet when suddenly a window popped up with an error
"can not find application so and so" after that all the programs that were
installed in the same card were missing, can the card get damage in any
way, or erased by static?
I had notice that when I get out of my car I get that electric shock as
soon as I step on the ground and touch the door to close it, would this be
the source of the problem?
Is there a application that would scan the card and repair/replace the
damaged files? Thanks for your help.

This is frustrating. It's happened to my about 4 or 5 times in the past 3
years of owning my PPC.
I've just resorted to backing up everything on the storage card on my
desktop so that WHEN it happens again, at least I can put it all back.
The things I consider Very important, I keep in the main memory on the
device.

Nope, since my pc is an dinosaur, but I went to wallmart and tried the
Kodak card reader and only read some files, but still showed as half full

Thanks Clinton.
