My camera SD card, after plunging into infected computer, the files on the SD card were not accessible anymore, instead of the files, there was 2 folders, and couple of files with symbolic names.
I tried renaming these files, this wasn’t working
I tried following the instructions here http://en.kioskea.net/faq/8734-files-on-flash-drive-changed-to-shortcuts
the attribute command was failing giving an error ‘the target of the symbolic link does not exist”
I tried to boot with linux live CD, but was not able due to some reasons.
The last thing I tried and it worked with me, followed the below steps:
-Right click on the SD card drive
-Select properties
-Select Tools
-Select Check now, then check the 2 checkboxes
-Click on start
-Wait till it finishes
Check the drive, when I checked the drive, the files with symbolic names are no longer there, and there was a hidden folder called Found.000, inside this folder there were lots of *.CHK files
I opened a command prompt, opened this folder, typed a rename command to rename all .CHK to .JPG
ren *.chk *.jpg
Doing that, I found all the images on the CD card inside the Found.000 folder, and I was able to recover my files, hope this helps anyone who is facing similar problem
