I don't know for sure if this would work but you can try it. Use another PS2 memory card and try to copy it from your first memory card to memory card 2. Then after that you can delete it of the memory card 1 and put the file thats on memory card 2.
i did try that like i mentioned on my first post. it didn't work for me.
Put me on the list this thing says it corrupt but i dont know how that could have happened, i was playing last nite let it save. I went to start this morning to finsih up some races and it says it is corrupt. So there is no way of getting around this or fixing this problem, because i almost threw my ps2 against the floor,, WHY isnt PS3 out yet with a reliable hard drive. I can imagine that everyone who is on this post has felt this but i dont know what to do....

I never thought I'd be joining this club. Also, I've come across a method of corrupting data that I didn't see mentioned yet in this thread.
I was in my blue Lancia Stratos. I wanted it stock again, so I put my card in Slot 2 then clicked Trade. I bought it from myself. Fine, nothing happened. But then, I sold the one I was just in. Afterwards, I got into the one I just bought from myself. When I clicked Get In, this notice popped up that said something like "The status of your garage (or car was it?) has changed. Are you sure you want to save?" I clicked OK, naturally. I wasn't sure though that it was a good idea to, and I almost didn't. But then I said "Whatever" and clicked OK. It began saving, then the game froze. I reset it, and when it would 'attempt' to auto-load my data, it once again froze. This only affected my main save and nothing else on my card, luckily.
But oh well, I'm much better at GT4 now than when I first started. I can start fresh in my quest to max out Bob's points, have a better win ratio (although I've actually destroyed it by trying to win high A-spec pt. races in the Sunday Cup, my first and only completed race.). I've done all the missions already, up to 23. And have 12 S-License tests to complete ("complete" = gold, for me). So I'm basically just looking at this as a way to get a good start, and to marvel at how easy this stuff is now that I've had enough experience in GT4 (I was 90% when my data was corrupted a few days ago).
edit: BTW, this might be a dumb question...but how do you link a club you're in into your sig? With words instead of the URL I mean.

I am so glad that it hasn't happened to me yet.
So, basically, is autosave the thing that causes the game saves and memory card itself to corrupt? I believe there are other factors as well.
Good encouragement to others. You already have 2 FGTs when you're only 35% done![]()
My data corrupted in 100%, then i started again, it corrupted again in 84%, again in 58%, and now I am in 65%.All these within 11 moths. I swear.
Note: In 100%, i had 689 cars, 70 golds, almost 30000 a-spec points, and mileage (a-spec) 23000km.
I write a copy of my save to my PS2 hard drive.
You must be doing something wrong... turn off autosave, don't turn off the PS2 while saving...ect
I'm happy to report I have progressed very far in GT4, and no problems with my game going corrupt (about time), but, at the same time, every "milestone" I hit in the game, I write a copy of my save to my PS2 hard drive. That, and I don't let anybody turn the PS2 off except me.![]()
No no nο
They were because of a power cut while saving.
