Revive a dead CF card
Is there any to try and revive a dead CF card? When I plug the card in
my Canon 300D, it throws "Err 02". When I plug the CF card in the card reader connected to my linux box, it detects the make and capacity and then starts throwing errors saying "Couldn't read logical block 0" and then the same for block 1,2,3, ..... Is there some way to force filesystem creation on this CF card? Thanks, - Siddhartha |

Is there some way to force filesystem creation on this CF card? under Linux, do: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/{yourdevice} bs=8k Then sit back and wait. If that fails, it's time to throw the card away. If it finishes, it will have zeroed out the entire card, but will have done something even better along the way: As the card goes along, if a write fails, it will remap that sector out to a reserved chunk. Once that's done, create a partition on it of the correct type, plug it in your camera, and format it. steve |

Revive a dead CF card
When you have a dead CF-card:
and are a Linux-user..... try Linux version of Recovery Manager 1.5 on http://www.vaiosoft.com/products/recoverymanager.html and test it When the card doesn't revive ... don't throw away. Claim a new card, because most of the memorycards have a ten year guarantee Marius |

Claim a new card, because most of the memorycards have a ten year guarantee Marius I had the same problem with a Sandisk 512 mb card and I found that if I installed it into a Hp 2210 it would read the corrupt card. I then reformatted using a pocket pc utility I downloaded from the web. Hope this helps.. |
