well I managed to reformat a card before I downloaded the files.  What seems to be the best recovery software these days.  Running windows 7.  Files are from Canon 5dIV

ImageRescue has a very high hit rate but RescuePro or any of them really should have no problem at all.  A reformat with no additional shots taken is a virtual guarantee of 100% recovery.  In fact when I do a recovery in my recovery business, the very first thing I do, before trying a rescue is to format the card so that I can rebuild the FAT from scratch rather than using a potentially compromised FAT.  All formatting does is erase the FAT - it does not touch the pictures so recovery is a breeze.

I'm not sure image rescue is still available. I'm trying RescuePro. Thanks for the help. Let you know how it turns out.

Possibly since Lexar had acquired that a few years ago.  But any of them should work as yours is a very easy job based on your description of what happened :)

RescuePro is saying the chip is damaged. Windows checkdisk says chip is fine. Not sure what the problem is.
