SD Card Recovery Problem
Posted: 18 Jul 2014, 01:57
Hello, I hope someone can help me with an odd scenario with my Sandisk 8GB Memory Card.
I have photos of my honeymoon on the card and having difficulty getting them back. The card became corrupted when my pc crashed - it was copying the files to the pc when the computer crashed and has never worked since. (crash was unconnected to the disk but did effect it).
The disk is genuine from Tesco.
Basically, it shows as inaccessible in My Computer.
In Testdisk when searching for drives it takes a minute or two then shows the Memory Card as having 899GB with 811GB of the disk used.
I tried both Intel and None partitions and it never finds anything or even moves through the sectors. When choosing none, I choose the type Fat32 as it would be. It says it cannot find the boot sector or the backup so tried to rebuild BS. When selecting this - it doesn't move or do anything when in rebuild process. An hour later and still wait and nothing happens.
Even though it has wrong size and lags in loading etc... I am assuming that the files are still on it due to the 899 GB size 811GB used ratio it displays.
Can anyone help me resolve this? I know you are more expert at this than me. And hope you can help, and look forward to hearing from you soon. Dee.
