Help recovering deleted SD card files

#1 Post by geal »

I'm trying to undelete some 16GB microSD card files. I received these messages during the process. Mac 10.7.5
Will I be able to recover these files?
Thanks!!!



Disk /dev/disk1 - 15 GB / 14 GiB - 30679040 sectors (RO)
Current partition structure:

Warning: number of sectors per track mismatches 16 (FAT) != 1 (HD)

Warning: Bad starting sector (CHS and LBA don't match)
*=

Disk /dev/disk1 - 15 GB / 14 GiB - 30679040 sectors (RO)
Warning: the current number of heads per cylinder is 1
but the correct value may be 128.
You can use the Geometry menu to change this value.
It's something to try if
- some partitions are not found by TestDisk
- or the partition table can not be written because partitions overlaps.

The harddisk (15 GB / 14 GiB) seems too small! (< 2759 GB / 2570 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partitions can't be recovered:
