No help to offer, sorry. But I wanted to express my sympathy,
anyway.

I've never had problems with RAW files from my S2. However, I haven't
done anything but the lightest playing with the Camera Shooting
Software.

This probably isn't the best time to mention the conjunction of "the
most important shoot in my life" and "shooting for the first time...",
eh?

You are absolutely right! I tested my firewire connexion at home with
a few pictures but it was not sufficient to use it in an important
shoot. I found one third of my files still intact. It will be enough
to have something acceptable. I learned from this experience.

Thanks for your answer.
