It was raining very hard and we transferred our photos from the sdcard to PC. Suddenly the power went off and we were shocked. Our datas were definitely corrupted. After several hours, yes, the data were corrupted. We can still see the DCIM and VIDEO folder but inside DCIM, the images were converted to unknown 3 files and one of them was 'USBC◘╧è◘' the unreadable characters are shaped like a gun.. I didn't bring my laptop to try open it from mac. So we were using windows. This is how we fix it : 1. Open run (windows+R) 2. Open command prompt (type : cmd) 3. On the open box type -> chkdsk (space) [the drive]: (space) /f example (your sdcard is on drive K:) -> chkdsk k: /f 4. It will say that it's being repaired , after that 5. Copy all files inside DCIM folder to your PC you will find many files with FILE00XXX.CHK format. If your images are all JPEG, you can just change the .CHK file type into .JPG But if you have the RAW file, it will be hard, because you don't know which one is the JPG/RAW file. So you need to download this : http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/unchk3.zip It will automatically change the files into JPGs and you change another .CHK files that haven't changed by the program into your RAW file format (Olympus = .ORF , etc) Example : There are 4 .CHK files : FILE0001.CHK FILE0002.CHK 768 bytes in each allocation unit.907 allocation units available on disk After that I am not seeing any of repaired files in my sdcard and even the USBC◘╧è◘ file got deleted . 505.JPG FILE0004. 2012. windows had made corrections to the file system.CHK FILE0004.572. 16. after that I got 5. September 7th.605.FILE0003. Convert lost chains to files ? 6.CHK FILE0001. I tried 1.CHK if the result = FILE0001.CHK FILE0003.CHK then the file002 and file004 is RAW Hope this helps and don't be afraid when you have this problem! Visit my blog : Eat Sway Love . Open command prompt (type : cmd) 3.960kb in 481 files 4. Open run (windows+R) 2.CHK FILE0003.568 total allocation units on disk 143. 11:52 PM#2 sdb New to Mu-43 Join Date Sep 2012 Posts 1 [How to]Fix and Retrieve Images form an error sdcard (USBC error) I had a USBC◘╧è◘ file in my sdcard .
