So today I tried to copy a load of data from a 32GB sd card to my computer, as I was working on a video I filmed of a friends concert. The card had been working and reading just fine. For some reason today it wasn't recognised in my mac by the SD card reader. So i tried again, and again and again. Then I tried it in the camera, and i got a load of errors. Something like ML/data/fonts.dat not found. Also the graphics on my Camera screen were screwed up. I have potentially lost hours of carefully set up filming work from when I was out in Spain, as well as the only footage in existence of my baby nieces christening. I am running a data recovery analysis on the card right now, because after placing the card in my computer a load of times, one of the times the data recovery software recognized the card reader. So far the analysis it is doing doesn't look good. I am creating a disk image through it, but apart from the first 'block' all the other 'blocks' are red, which means 'bad sector'.
I feel physically ill, first that I have let my friends down with their show, but also all my family with the footage of my niece Mollie.
Does this problem sound at all familiar to anyone else? Can anyone give me some re-assurance there is some way of me getting this data back? I don't want this to ruin my Christmas but this is seeming extremely likely...
Any help any of you can give will be massively appreciated.
