Mobility Site - View Single Post - SD card read error

I have an X30 and I use a 512MD Sandisk AX0408WV China SD card for business. I have plenty of e-mail attachments, files & my timesheets on it. I had some pictures stored on it (approx 30MB) and deleted them yesterday through an SD card reader on my PC. Now, after letting the card sit in my Axim overnight, I am receiving card read errors. I cannot open certain files, yet certain files I can. The errors I receive say that the files are in an invalid format or that the end of the file was not found. When I try to put the card in my PC, it requests that the card be formatted. Needless to say, I cannot do that. I must recover my files from the card. (Boy, this is going to cost me a lot of money) I do have several Axim backups, however, I'm not sure if the card also gets backed up in the process. Is there a way to fix the card or to get the files from it? Needless to say, I'm going to have to be more diligent with backing up my axim and cards in the future. I am also going to contact Dell and Sandisk. Thanks.
