Hi Chuck;

Having web trouble at the moment (email download to client is fine), so can’t 
send you a link, but app called PCI File Recovery by software PCInspector (I 
think). Used it for the same pickle you’re in.

The time I had card errors, mounted it to a computer, wrote zeros to all of it, 
and then formatted in camera, and have made it habit to only delete in camera 
(rarely) instead of when mounted to a computer.

Good luck
