This is absolutely weird. I can view it in Pentax Photo browser, with Ifranview or as a thumbnail using the Windows PEF Codec. I get a CRC failure when I attempt to copy the files. I haven't seen a file fail with CRC failure for years. Especially one that can be read by /any/ program at all. I've run a file structure and hardware diagnostic on the drive and there are no reported problems. So I have data files that cannot be backed up with the standard copy utility.

I have at least a couple of PEFs from my K20D that cannot be opened in Pentax Photo Lab. Anyone have knowledge of a utility that might be able to recover them. I can't remember if they both came from the same card or not, but I'm hoping it's the card and not the camera.


Can you view them on the camera review screen? If so, an easy fix might be to process them in camera and take the resulting jpeg.
