Downloading files from a damaged Compact Flash card (I know they are still on it)

Hi everyone, first time posting here.

I have a Kingston Ultimate 266X 16GB compact flash card, which I've been using for quite a long time. It has always been very reliable, unfortunately today something finally went wrong. I'm using a USB adapter to move files to and from the card, but this time, the files don't appear - the only thing that is visible is a folder where those files used to be, still named the same, but it's empty. Now I know that in some form those files are still there, because there are over 2GB of space on that card that are occupied - exactly how much space files I had in there took. Is there any way for me to acces those files?

I want to be specific and say that it's not so much "fixing the card for future use" that I hope for the most, it's accesing the files that were already there, maybe that's important somehow.

Anyway, thanks in advance.
Jake
 
You might have to take ownership of the card before you can actually see any files on it.
