Windows formatted my CF card automatically.

[jowei]

I had a couple of movies and pictures from my 7D. Inserted my CF card and it automatically formatted it before windows loaded, changing the name OF THE cf CARD to AOS_@ICIPAH. I'm trying to retrieve the deleted files with a file recovery software but it only manages to retrieve a couple of the pictures, the thumbs and/or stills from the movies, but not the movies themselves. I NEED the movies. Any help would be appreciated.

Here was someone with the same problem (though on a Mac), right down to the new card name; doesn't seem all that helpful, but maybe there's something in there.
