Hi,

Googling etc. as usual but I thought perhaps someone on this NG had already
"done it themself".

I have a digital camrea with compact flash cards.

Normally I read these using a PCMCIA adapter for the portable or a Lexar
Jumpshot USB adapter for the bigger boxes.

One card failed to work in the camera.

I checked it using the Lexar and the card seems to be corrupt, but there is
still data on there - about 2Mb on a 16Mb card.

'chkdsk' under Win2K and WinXP can't fix it.

'fsck' under Debian Linux (Knoppix 3.4) can't fix it either.

Anyone know of a good (free if possible) disc fixer which might be able to
recover the data?

Scrabbling desperately to stay within the NG remit, I suppose I could send
it off to a data recovery outfit but I would prefer to Do It Myself :-)

TIA
