Corruption of xD picture card
Hi all,
Hopefully someone can shed light on this
The other day, I took my xD card out of my Fuki camera and attempted to copy pictures using my external (USB-connected) card reader. Out of around 200 on the card, some 80-odd failed to copy.
However I tried to read them, they failed to open with an "I/O error". In the end I ran Windows error checking on the card - all was OK (!). I then ran a DOS CHKDSK in desperation. That reported that the file sizes for all the "broken" files was incorrrect and truncated them all to 16Kb
So, my pictures are lost - I can (almost) live with that, but what I can't live with is not knowing WHAT HAPPENED and WHY
Any experts out there able to shed any light?
Thanks

What WAS annoying was that immediately after I'd taken the shots, they were find (I tend to review pictures every so often)
