    Are you running the current RICOH driver for your system/OS? If not, try updating and see if that helps. The AW M17x uses the same RICOH chipset as your system - try this driver, its version 3.57.01.

    Not sure if this will work, but you can also see if RECUVA can see it as a valid partition and then grab your files.

    Check my post above - I edited it with a link to a more recent driver. If that one doesn't work, try this one (RICOH R5C832 v3.54.06)
