When I plugged the card into my laptop, "Image Capture" saw 5 RAW files and 2 JPEGS. When I was done scanning the card and dumping to the harddrive, I had a couple thousand RAW files and a few hundred JPEG. 32.58GB, accounting for every sector on his entire card. Complete successful recovery of every image, with not a single "glitch"! -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
