    My Lexar CF Card looks like it has been corrupted. I use a USB 2.0 reader for uploads. I had been editing some photos, pulled the card to take some shots then reinserted the card. Nothing. WIN XP Pro is not seeing the drive and now the camera (Cannon) is saying the card is bad. XP is asking if I would like to reformat but I would like to try to recover the photos if possible. Anyone have any ideas, point me to recovery software, etc.???

    yes I have had great luck in recovering pictures from many different media cards using this FREE software

    Smart Recovery

    That is a known problem with CF cards that when pulling out/incerting back they can get corrupted quite easily.
