Help recovering from SanDisk error
Do all the data recovery programs give you the same problems? Try
www.recover-my-photos.com and see if you get different results reading the card. "Martin Brown" wrote in message ... In message , Graham Russell writes This is probably a stupid question........ After shooting over 4000 pics at a marathon yesterday my business partner had an error with one of his 1GB SanDisk compact flash cards. When trying to load images onto a laptop the card wasn't recognised. When I got home I tried the card with 2 different card readers on 2 different PCs using 3 different recovery tools. 2 didn't recognise the card and Photorecovery reported the card as over 2000GB in size. If have successfully recovered images from cards before, but they were at least seen as 1GB cards not 2TB. Trying the card in a D100 and 10D causes both cameras to show card errors and no other operations work. I suspect the card has suffered a fatal hardware error so we've lost over 1000 race photos. Can anyone suggest something else to try? It is still possible that the data can be read off the media even if the file system is totally wrecked. If the data are really valuable your best bet is with a hardware specialist recovery firm on a no win no fee basis. And if they are successful it will be expensive. I don't need any lectures on using lots of smaller cards!!! This experience is perfect support to that argument!!! Lots of small cards can be a menace too. Some of the data loss I have seen was probably caused by people changing media in a hurry with the camera still writing data. Regards, -- Martin Brown |
