K guys, I need your lovely help one more time.

I was at the beach and I brought my camera with me, I had already taken quite a few shots already yesterday and in the morning so in the afternoon that I was testing stuff I took one shot and it was all good then I took another one and the camera said Error #2, I didn't care much, I turned it off and then on and it said that the card was not formatted with the camera and that I had to format it, normally, I was like SCREW YOU I AM NOT FORMATTING, I turned off again and took out the SD card from the slot, then put it back in.

It worked, I could take 3 more shots before I got the error again but this time taking out the SD card didn't fix the issue as I would have expected.


So I was hoping that when I returned home I could use my SD -> USB thing to plug the SD card and extract the photos (like I normally do).
I double click the F:/ drive (the one with the Sd card, obviously) and it says INSERT DISK or whatever that error is.
I right click and select browse and does the same thing. I then tried looking at the properties and it said 0bytes used out of 0bytes available. I was like WTF? since this is a 4GB SD Card. I provide a screenshot for the lulz.

I then, did things "correctly as I should" and inserted the SD card back into the camera and plugged in the camera and not the SD card, recognizes the camera I click "import images" and it fails. Tried with the canon software of the camera, and to my surprise, it didn't list any images (no way!).
Note that when I plug in the camera I can access the drive but there's no content on it unlike plugging the Sd card which I cannot access at all.

So I go on a hunt for a data recovery software and try somes without achieving success.

Now I am here SEN asking for your omghalp. There's a lot of valuable compositions in this camera, most likely the week of vacations I had and a lot of other random shots and this weekend (about 800+ shots actually) that I do not feel like losing.
Note that the camera is new,it's a Canon EOS Rebel XS, got it on august 31st and chances are that the SD Card the package included is probably really bad, I cannot afford thinking that there's something wrong with the camera....

This didn't work?

That's one of the more lulzy ones, every sector it scans it's a sector it adds to the "bad sector" count. It's lulzy cause it goes super fast like if it didn't care about my pictures, stupid feelingless computers!

ah well, it does sound hilarious.

It's too bad you cant just compile all the data into one file, then get a program which splits it up into the various pictures (you could even do it manually if you had it in one file). I'm sure most of the pictures are actually just fine, with only a few actually suffering real data loss.

I am actually having some doubts right now. I just keep trying random free stuff, maybe I should try with a program that's meant to be paid for

Anyone else has any idea?
