I have seen a number of reports about pictures and music disappearing from their sd card and until now I never seen it happen but today I had a number of photos came up missing and I noticed when it happened that may be the reason for this.  This appears to happened after I mounted my device as a Mass Storage device and computer reported errors on the card and wanted to scan the drive and I allowed the scan and right after this happened the images came up missing.  I have tried to identify the location that the check disk normally place files when they are moved do to errors but I havent had no luck yet but its not a issue because I backup my card regularly.

Is there no way to find these files with a program used to track down lost or orphaned files?

Doea the phone or windows show that the space is still used up? If not then I think Windows deemed the files corrupt and deleted them. You can scan the card with Recurva and see it finds anything. Never actually thought of the idea of defragging a SD card, maybe you could try that also.

The space reflects that the files have been deleted and I realize that once the files are labeled as corrupt the windows will not recover these files but I decided to dig through my software collection and used Undelete Plus from http://undeleter.net/adpages/undeleter/specific-file/?file=pictures&gclid=CNqgs_C10aQCFR5Kgwod51Y-Ig and was able to restore almost all the files that I had deleted.
