I'M SO SCREWED!!! I NEED HELP!!!

I need advice from someone who knows about data recovery.

I took some pictures / video on my digital camera for my boss. I usually transfer them to my computer for safe keeping first, but this time I put them on his first. I copied the first of 2 flash cards with no problem. Then, I removed that one from the flash card reader and inserted the second one like I always do on my own computer, but suddenly the second card's files became corrupt! Then I noticed the file names on the second card matched the first which is totally wrong! I need these files. Does anyone know how to recover this data? Windows tried, but failed to correct them. Please help me!

never had to try and recover anything, but...did you try putting the seccond card's pic's on another computer?

---Cold pizza, cold coffee, and the THG forum...oh the heartburn.---

That's what I 'm afriad of. I've got bits and pieces of pictures but nothing useful.

Dude that sucks. YOu may want to try and have it professionally restored. You would be surprised at what is recoverable. Unfortuanately, you won't know until you try.

Catheter and Caffeine IV are in place. Let's PLAY.

try getting some program that can read in RAW mode and just copy the flash to the HD in one BIG file then with hex editor try and identify the headers of the Jpeg/BMp/whatever, I think thet the FAT (or what ever it is on flash) got craped but I think the DATA is intact so I dono just try.

Thanks! I'll read through and try to understand. I still kick myself every day for letting this happen.
