Transferring files from Vista to XP

I copy and pasted the jpgs. I have vista home premium.
Unfortunately the files are not recoverable because they are corrupt.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unless you have the originals in good shape, I'm
afraid your data is lost. There's no way for me to tell why this
happened from what you've posted.

I'm sorry I was unable to help you.

I do appreciate your help.
I contacted my computer manufacturer and they referred me to Microsoft.
Microsoft referred me to these message boards. I guess they can't figure it
out either. All I really know is that the files worked fine for about 4 weeks
and then went corrupt. Only files copied from my Vista computer were
affected. My easy remedy is to upload the pictures from my camera onto both
computers seperatly. The bottom line is that I would like to fix the problem
that occurred. Seems like Microsoft should be more interested in what
happened but, they are not. I would hate to think that this might happen to
someone else. I am open to discuss any further detail if it would be helpful
to anyone.
