SD Card accidentally formatted
Posted: 22 Aug 2013, 12:27
Hi there,
first let me say that you're really doing great work here. Unfortuenately now it's my turn to ask a question.
Because I hadn't had a usb drive I used my SD card from the camera with all its data on it to print a file in a shop. The guy in the shop didn't use the Save-Deconnect-Function and the card told me later that it should be reformatted.
But to make things worse, the first google hit to recover files was recuva and recuva only detect drives if there are formatted, so I thought I had to format it and I did. Now the problem is, that the card contain .mov-files which are difficult to restore because they are fragmented and the header is always at another place. I was playing around with some MOV-Reapir Tools, but it was really difficult and all the data is mixed up. So my question is, is it possible to restore the old FAT32-Table to access my MOV files easily? I already gave testdisk a try but it didn't work so far.
Thank you very much,
