Trying to recover Photos from a Faulty SD card

#1 Post by nadavrotem »

Hello all
while my Sandisk 32GB SDHC was half full, the card failed and was unreadable by the camera or even my pc.
I got a little bit of hope when it was shown on my laptop card reader though it is still unaccessable.
I ran Photorec and it stalled while running the process "disk identification", it appears to search for the media but nothing happens..
any tips ? do I have hope doing this by myself ?
Thank you in advance
Nadav

Unfortunately you will have to contact a specialized data recovery company. Software can't help if low-level read operations freeze.
