This was simply reformated in the camera by the format option on that menu.

I'm beginning to believe the format trashed everything.  I can't imagine 
that the format on the camera could possibly rewrite every bit, but 
that's what it appears to have done.  How long would it take to write 
128 mb??? Looking at the data with a binary editor shows basically the 
initial directory data that is created by the camera and then everything 
else on the media appear to be either 00 or FF.

I put this aside for a while, got to make a living. :)  I'll be looking 
at it again today though.
