Q. Problem Parsing jpeg data

Hi Guys!
I soooooooo need some help asap!
I recently did ALOT of photo work at a big gig in Brighton for a friend. Only to find when I got home that after uploading the photos I cannot open them.
Ok, what I did was -
I bought a 4gbSandisk Extreme CompactFlash card for the gig. When I first put it in the PC card reader nothing happened, or atleast I THOUGHT nothing was happening. I took the card out and a message came up to say something like "transfer not complete data lost try to save in another file" etc. You can imagine my horror!! I inserted the card again and it loaded up as normal. BUT!!! When I came to view the photos it said that there was no preview available. When I tried to open them in Photoshop it said that "There was a problem parsing the jpeg data". The files are still there and are showing they are around 2mb file size each. Please tell me I've not lost them, and HOW can I retrieve them to work on them? :-o
Ps. I no longer have them on my memory card (Iknow I should have checked transfer was ok before deleting) so I cannot go down that avenue. HEEEEELP!!!

Do you have another program that uses jpgs? Try opening them in that, and then use save as to create a new jpg file, see if that new file opens in photoshop. (Sorry, I'm not really knowledgeable on the details, just know how to get around a few problems.)

Canon and Nikon provide their own software, within those soft ware there are options to open those files and then option to transfere them to photoshop format, I will try to assist as long as I know which camera did you use.
Many time happened to me photoshop can not read my images, but the camera manufacturer soft ware do.

I once was transfering my image to a dvd disk, and the session did not close, I can see the disk been ingraved all, which means it did take the transfere but as the session did not close , the PC was not been able to read the date on the disk, so what I did , I found a program which did close the session and then my dvd was ok.
I then started not to delete my images from CF card untill the whole process been compeleted and I make sure everything is readable on my Disks, this is the safe way my friend, thank you and I hope your problem will get over.
