Hi msmoto!
I had seen the thread you pointed out but somehow missed the FastStone software link!
Thanks a lot for your help!
Now I'm able at least to convert the "damaged" NEF to 24bit TIFFs :)

Cheers!
Ricardo

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with NEF "Unexpected end of file" errors.
I have a D800 and use a SanDisk ExtremePro 32GB SD Card.
I still didn't try a card reader, till now i used the D800 (and the PC) USB3 port with the cable that came with the camera.
My system is Windows 7 x64 and no matter what program i use to do the transfer, Windows Explorer for normal copy, ViewNX 2.3.1, Lightroom 4, i get a lot of corrupted NEFs.

I searched the forum but wasn't able to find a satisfying answer :|
I see the posts are 3 weeks old. Any news from the corrupted NEFs front?

Thanks!
Ricardo

Just to repeat :

Download the last ViewNX2 2.3.1 from Nikopn, and transfer from within that program version... and get rid of all old Transfer NX2 / 1 versions before installing the new program...

For Capture NX2 upgrade to the latest version ( 2.3.2 ) to be able to process the NEF's from the latest Camera's..

I am having serious problems with the D800's NEF files. Even when I transfer files by wire from the D800 to my PC, the end files are corrupted. This occurs when using Transfer NX2, Transfer NX1 as well as a simply copy over on the PC (although that method is safer in my experience).

The issue exists with both the CF card slot and the SD card slot and has resulted in the loss of several hundred RAW pictures over three shoots. This is the most serious failure I have experienced with Nikon equipment to date (I have had D70, D40 (two), D90, D3000, D300, D3100 and D7000 cameras without problems). I believe it must be an incredible embarrassment to Nikon given that they had an extra year to get this camera ready (due to the Thai flood).

If anyone has had any success with any program (I have tied a couple including Phoenix) in recovering the corrupted files (Nikon Transfer deleted them from my CF card after the corrupted import) I would appreciate your letting me know. The NEF file is there (at 40mb), but it just cannot be rendered.
