Hi team and thanks for the software,
I got a SD Card with HASSIO (homeassistant - Linux / raspian) on it that is just worn and doesn't boot anymore.
photorec finds that disk after a significant amount of time but shows that drive twice as big as it really is. So I changed the geometry and changed the cylinders to 3880 - now the size is correct with 32gb.
It neither finds a partition nor does it recognize the filesystem. So I've manually chonsen other (I expect exfat) but it doesn't find files.
I'm sure I didn't fully understand what I have to do in my case to recover data from that SDCard. *seemsThisStatementSeemsInappropriateSRY*

Re: SDCard worn out
The most important thing from my point of view is that dangling carots will not rescue your data:

You will need to contact a professional recovery service.
Please keep in mind that those don't work on promisses of donation - it will cost you serious money.

Re: SDCard worn out
Hi,
thanks for you reply. I've been in contact already with a professional Service in Vienna. The price was fair, to be honest and I absolutly would do it. But the fact, that the first analisys will cost me already 100€ is still holding me back. I know that they already have a lot of work with this analysis and this needs to be paid, but I'm struggling spending money for "We're sorry - not possible".
Don't get me wrong, I understand why they have to charge me for their work, but I'd easier agree if I already will get some hints that it is likley to be possible - this is why I'm "playing around" with testdisk
thanks
