Bad day. Sandisk code needed - SOLVED - ingest is best
Hi. Shocking day yesterday. Multiple equipment failures. Now a card failure too.
I have no idea where my sandisk codes have gone. I use zar if I have a problem but it\'s not working.
Can some kind soul please let me have a spare code?
Thanks
To save confusion, I am going to repost the whole story as the first post so that people can easily see what happened - its was more of a camera numbering error in the end but it was the way I was uploading images that made me think that stuff was missing:

OK, here is the latest.
The two suspect cards are showing as no data, except for a few shots that I took before I got suspicious of them. This suggests that the cards were not written to before hand because i always low level format my SD cards the night before. I didnt think I had written to the cards in question, I thought I had retired them once my suspicion was raised.
I looked at the file numbers and found a hole of ~1200 shots spanning about an hour and a half. Thats an unreasonable amount of shots to take in that time and what is missing is the entire of the ceremony ~100 - 200 shots max. However I found those files on another card but the file names were the same as existing files. Initially didn\'t copy the data off them as I had assumed that they were just the backups (from 1 series cameras).
So I have now got my ceremony shots back (at least mostly) I think. I cant tell exactly because the power has just failed.
MORAL:
Use the ingest feature in Photo mechanic or Lightroom, relying on your good knowledge of the OS isnt much help if all you are going by is file name. If you use a camera that writes backups and you have a numbering error it is easier to get tricked as I just did. Having a system that ingests all data from card is probably safer.
As for whats caused the error, I dont know yet. The power has gone. Its blowing a huuuge storm outside and I found a massive spider trying to break into my car whilst I was driving this morning. I have had quite enough adrenalin for one morning. Im going to make a cup of tea, oh .... hang on, some toast then, no....hmmmm
Thank you so much to all those who have sent me codes. I will add more to this when I know whats happened, trying to think back to what it was that concerned me about those cards....
UPDATE:
Powers back. All images seem to be there, at least in terms of coverage of all events.
