Corrupted sd card

Last response: in Digital Camera

After successfully taking many pictures on my Kodak Z1015IS digital camera and downloading them to my computer just fine.
I purchased a new 4 GB new SD card and took a bunch of pictures that are not recognized by my computer? Computer says they are ".VFS files" (instead of JPG pictures). Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

More about : corrupted card

.VFS files are just file system information files. Do you see only .VFS files. Do you see any .KDC files. KDC is the kodac raw format files.

Also can u confirm if 4GB memory card is supported by the camera. If the card is SDHC you may need a SDHC reader to read the files.

Let us know!!

Well! Generally, in your case, no matter whether it is corrupted or not, you are supposed to connect it to a computer or laptop via a card Reader and download a free data recovery tool to see whether your pictures or files are recoverable.
You could restore all your pictures back for free with the help of a free memory card recovery tool, if this SD card is only logically corrupted. (Don’t worry! This freeware has ever retrieved all the photos back of my brother from a Samsung phone card. I trust it will help you out.)You also could fix this SD card by reformatting it.
But, if this SD card is mechanically corrupted, you should consult a data recovery company as soon as possible. And the SD card also should be replaced.
In the future, you should learn a lesson to make data backups all the time.
