Have you finalized the disc? If not, that's what you need to do first.

Hi Capt,

It's sad to know what has happened , however we can always expect this , as SD cards are prone to failure much often.

I have this suggestion for you which would solve your problem , i.e. to download and run a free trial of this memory card recovery software application.

Here is the link to download it :- http://www.cardrecovery.com/

Copy and paste the above link to your browser and then hit enter or go to open the website.

Once opened , download the application and see if it reflects the old files which you once had in your memory card and if they are recoverable , if yes then you can consider buying this application and using it for your benefit.

Or else you can try out this free option by downloading this application which is freeware and you can recover your files using it as well ...

Please use this link to download the free application :- ftp://ftp2.convar.com/pcinspector/pci_us_smartrecovery.exe

Hope this helps ..:)
