Dear Liisa
Superstition perhaps - scientific improbable.
If I allow the computer software, C1, to delete the information on the CF card I then do an in-camera format TWICE. Every time I think about it I Format the CF cards twice.
I had some difficulty with non Lexar cards and was advised by a guy in an high street camera shop to only use a good quality UNIVERSAL card reader. Since taking this advice loading, copying and transferring has been a lot easier. No more unseen files, no half copies.
The scientific answer is that there is some gubbins in the card, camera or reader which occasionally has a bad hair day.;-)

Hi Richard,
Glad to hear you found a solution with photorescue.
Any or none of your ideas for reasons for corrupted files on your Lexar card may be right. When similar thing happened to me, all those things were suggested as twell as card's proximity to CD speakers, the tv and accidental tapping of the card on the table. However, I know that once I did corrupt a card and all the files on it, by pulling off the mains power supply whilst the camera was still writing the last image. Since then I have wondered if dead or dying batteries might in fact be the real reason?
Any more circumstancial or even better - scientific- evidence anybody?
