Canon Powershot G12 - some missing images on SD Card ??

Hello,

During my recent trip to Chile, I suddenly noticed that about 300 of my photos were missing from the SD card. No longer viewable in the camera, and not listed on the card itself when plugged into a card reader. This happened after I had uploaded one of my images to Facebook from a computer at a Hostel. It was the one and only time I actually ejected the card from the PC instead of just pulling it out without the ejection function. (I don't understand PCs, mac user, and it was all in spanish so that complicated things further) The uploaded image is now one of the missing.

When I returned home, suddenly about 200 of the 300 missing images were able to be seen and copied from the card the second time I plugged the card into the computer. The first time they were still missing. Now about only a 100 are missing and there is a strange alias sitting inside the folder named "USBCö,,." This alias does not function, just sets a clock spinning, and is not in any of the other image folders that the camera created on the card.

I ran a recovery program AppleXsoft File Recovery to restore lost files, but no lost files were found. This program takes about 4 hours to run on the 16GB card.

Any thoughts or suggestion are MUCH appreciated!

Best wishes...

Canon PowerShot G12
