Help requested on a corrupt SD Card
Posted: 21 Apr 2015, 20:58
Hi,
I have an 8GB SD Card, with a number of photos on it.
When I insert it, Windows tells me that it needs formatting - "You need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it". I haven't yet chosen to format it!
When I load testdisk, it identifies a physicaldrive of only 32MB. This appears completely empty. I notice that there is a note that disk capacity must be correctly detected for a succesful recovery, and I'm failing at this point already. If I do go ahead and analyse then I am informed that the partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xAA55.
Any ideas as to what I should do?
