ok, I just did a very important shoot at the studio this morning. I put it in the card reader and the card got really hot and after it wouldn't mount on the mac I took the card out, brought it home and tried to upload it on the pc. on the pc the card opens and the cannon file is there but when I open there is nothing inside...

is there anything I can do to save these files, maybe a program I could use or something?

please help, this was a very important family.

I've had really good luck with Photorescue, ImageRescue(comes on Lexar Cards), and ZAR. ZAR actually rescued some that none of the others did on previous attempts.

image rescue comes with all lexar cards? what is it excatly. obviously I'm in the market for a new card, and if lexar comes with recovery programs I'll be getting one of those today!

I've found you'll have to be quite lucky for the proprietary cards to actually work. Retrieval, for me and several other photographers was intermittant and nearly always partial.

Photorescue is commercial but has a much better return and works when other free programs fail. This is not just an opinion but concluded from real world tests, although I can't, at the moment, provide a link.

I bought ($50) a copy of BadCopy Pro a while back and have used it for Hard Disks, CDs and Compact Flash... has always worked well. It is lowlevel (sector) recovery so the only problem is, I end up losing the camera labeled filenames but hey I got the pics back.

I had the same problem yesterday and used this:

Stellar

Saved all my images, don't know if they have a PC version.
