Out of almost 500 images I shot and now have stored on my CF card, about 6 of them wouldn't open in Windows Viewer. Instead of generating image I got drawing failed.

Then trying to open them in CS5 I got a partial image with the following message:

Can they be saved?

Thanks,

Awesome!

I have a disk of images that I did several years ago and I was getting this same error. Luckily, I saved the disk. I'm gonna try and recover them afterall!

You also might want to re-format your card after to do a recovery.
