Just a final update.
I did take the leap of faith with chkdsk /F.
To my great surprise, it did fix most of the issues, 99% of the files reappeared. I only lost about 80 or so. Which I had backups of, so all is well in the end.

If copying only 10 GB costs "a lot of time" you should consider buying quality SD cards instead. That is cheaper than having an expert only touching your SD card. :)
Finding out what causes your problems will cost you 10 to 100 times more than starting a copy job - which doesn't require you to ...

Your copy job costs nothing.

No, there is not a repair solution for you. Repairing is not professionell anyway. You can be lucky of having some repair features with Testdisk.


My "copy job" costs a lot of time, (10 GB data at least) and as mentioned, I don't really trust CHKDSK either, it doesn ...

Update: CHKDSK in windows does report issues specifically with that directory (and one single another). But I do not trust CHKDSK to fix the issues, I suspect it will permanently remove the files currently visible by testdisk and free the allocated space instead of restoring them.

An example error ...

I experienced a very odd situation with an exFAT SD card used in an Android phone.
In the directory where the Camera app saves the photos it created, all of a sudden around half of the files disappeared. (~1500 of 3000).
I removed the card, inserted into the reader in my PC, the files seem to be ...

Just wanted to provide an update. There were no more slowdowns, so finished with the remaining region from sectors 3.4 billion to the end (5.8 billion) in about 1.5 days. (Created around an additional 400GB data.)
Not sure what was the deal with that particular 210 million sectors that had to be ...

Do not use self-created abbreviations. B is not a valid prefix when talking about storage. Furthermore, a billion is 1.000.000.000 in the United States whereas one billion in Europe is 1.000.000.000.000.
If you are talking about a billion bytes this can ...

B as Billion

Do not rely on the version number to judge whether you are running the most recent version.
I just checked the linked Windows versions for 32 and 64 bit and ... They are dated the 3rd of November 2022.


Thanks. I was trying to figure this out by looking at the git repo, but the last tag is 7.1 ...

You may get better results if you use the latest 7.2-WIP version from https://www.cgsecurity.org


I downloaded the 7.2-WIP too, a month ago (for using testdisk actually, and for a different reason). That version has a timestamp from May-2021 for the executable and starts with May-2021 in the ...
