Good luck man!

That's one of the main things that scares me about shooting digital. I've never had a problem yet - but I know it'll happen one day. Let us know if any of those programs work for you -

I can also knock on wood cause that never happened to me . But it those programs work, please let us know.

Sometimes if you format the card incorrectly, such as in Fat32,.and the camera will say that it is corrupted. Try to see if you can reformat it back into Fat, then it could work.

We just went through a huge problem after picking up 3 of the ultra fast cards (in Montreal).

I've heard that there is a software fix, but what worked in the meantime was to dump the cards into a digital wallet, then transfer to computer. Once on the computer you still need to rename the files to .jpg

the files were fine when in the camera .. it's once I put em in my Card reader .. my pc farted or something (don't know really what it was) .. and the corrupt files where the ones being highlited ..

I've try the two suggested softwares above without success ...
