I can see 'em in my camera, and I got 35 or so off the card, but my computer cannot see 'em to get 'em from either the reader nor with the USB cord attached to the camera.
I sent in a request to Sandisk customer support (I have five of their cards & a reader) but have not heard back.
I tried one of the online recovery software sites, and they claim they can do it, but when I ran the trial version, though it said it could retrieve the files, they wouldn't preview, and I'll be damned if I'll spend the $40 they wanted if I cannot see the images.
Suggestions?

does the computer see the card and not the images? If it doesn't see the card at all, try a reboot. Alternatively, if you have lightroom or bridge and you can see the card, try finding them through there. Good luck! |

Here's an article on some file recovery software. Most of them are free, and might be of help. |

Yes, the computer sees the card.....I did get about 35 of them off....
This isn't a standard problem....I had downloaded all my other cards following my trip, and it's just this one card.
How do you try to see the card through bridge?
I have CS2/Bridge, but I always download through "My Computer".

Sandisk sends out a mini-CD with RescuePRO Recovery Software with their CF cards. I've never had to use the software, but I think it's supposed to be helpful. Sandisk dedicated technical support hotline 1.866.603.2195 or visit //www.lc-tech.com/rescuepro for support on software.

SanDisk has its own little program called "RescuePro" that came with a couple of the cards I bought from them. Want me to try sending it to you?
EDIT: Or use the link Hahn mentioned ;)

In CS3 on a MAC under the file drag down menu is get photos form camera, don't remember for sure if it was in CS2 but i think it was.
Also had pretty good luck using Rescue Pro which came free with the Sandisk Extreme 3's that i bought, think you can download it from their site. |

It should show up under my computer in bridge. If you go to my computer so it displays all your drives, it should be listed as a drive. When I connect my camera, it shows as Canon EOS 30D. I click on that, it gives me the choice of CF. Click on that it shows DCIM, click on that I get the folder, click on that it shows the images. It could be that your card is partially corrupted... |

Also - older readers sometimes have a problem with newer cards over 2gb. I had to buy a new reader. |

My reader is a SanDisk SDDR-92 and it's less than a year old.

You can try this free solution, or if you are brave, you can try the one that I wrote the last time this happened to me. No guarantees implied. |

Sometimes when I pull out my memory card without using safely remove feature the next time I insert the memory card the computer doesn't recognize it. Usually rebooting the computer will fix the problem. |

I vote for the problem being the reader rather than the card. I had a similar issue. The SDHC cards require an updated reader...

Okay, first and foremost......GOT 'EM!!!
I used the SanDisk approved, LC Technologies made RescuePRO.
I have a current SanDisk reader, this *IS* a CF card (Just like it says in the subject line....), and it wasn't a case of a one-shot deal.....I had downloaded images from three other cards, and had even downloaded about 35 images out of this card.
I don't know what happenedf, but the software works fine, and I have 710 more images, some that I wanted REALLY badly.
Thanks to one and all for the help and support!
