Reinserted the original failed CF card into the SD1M, recognised as faulty. Formatted the card and it is recognised, accepts image files and will transfer to pc.

Irfanview will recognise transferred files as X3F but X3F no longer features in it's recognised file types, possible previously with the plug-in activated. Is Faststone an alternative?

This failure occurred with no prior warning from the SD1M.

Thanks for the recovery software suggestions, if it happens again I will look into it.

Well, one doesn't want to lose a load of photos. That's why I installed that program, knowing that card failures do happen occasionally and at bad times.

I think it's usually just a little glitch that corrupts the directory structure.
