Default Anyone see this before?

I have an E520 and took about 150 pictures and saved to a 4GB Compact Flash card. Most JPEG look similar to the one below. When I attempt to open with GIMP or other I get a message "Corrupt data near 0x1b7c3f" which leads me to believe the card may be corrupted. The RAW images are also corrupt.

The preview images on the camera and in Olympus Master 2 look fine.

Anybody ever see this or know how I can fix? I tried Photorescue but that only recovers images, it does not fix the images.

------------------------
More info.
Well it's not the card, I tested by taking more pictures and saving the images to the 2GB XD card.
------------------------

Thanks,
Jerome

It almost looks like the 'bottom image' is just a zoomed in version of the 'top image'. I don't know what happened though, it could be the card but I don't know, I've never seen anything like that before.

Default Update

I was able to successfully transfer images without corruption. I troubleshooted all evening and I believe it was one of two things. Either a bad USB port or I had too many items plugged into multiple USB ports. Backup drive, router, printer, two cameras and my iPod. I disconnected the iPod, and P&S camera, switched ports and viola!

I only wanted to update in the case this happens to others.

Thanks,
Jerome
