Another good program you might try is Unstoppable Copier, I had a cheapo SD card that became corrupted and was able to recover most of my photos off of it using this nice little app.

Thanks for the tips. Zero Assumption worked, and if you use it with CompactFlash memories only it's free. It worked for me. But my browser hangs when I try to accept the solution here...<br />

Hi I have SanDisk 256 CompactFlash with some important photos on. When I put it in a card reader, the media comes up and I can see folders. But when I click on the DCIM folder, which should contain the images, everything freezes. Exploere simply doesn't respond. After a while, I get an error report.<br />
<br />
I wonder if there are some utilities or things I can try to get the files off the disk because, since disk is not fried, at least. It has some fuinctionality. I don't want to give up on it without trying.<br />

Compact Flash media error

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
