Can´t access SD Card

#1 Post by Hambach »

Hello,

I have a 8 GB SD Card which I can´t access. When I start testdisk I get only the message "please wait". After several hours testdisk shows the partition table of my intenal hard drive, but nothing from the SD card. I have tested several card readers and I have tested a boot CD with testdisk and several other tools. In all cases the same result: No access to the SD card.

Has any body a bright idea what I can try to get access to the SD card and to recover the data ?

regards
Hambach

Try a bit to bit copy with ddrescue under gnu/linux and then work on the copy. Unfortnately it will probably not work. Someone in this forum told that RecoverFab (Cie in Germany) has good results and was not too expensive.
