Recover files from SD card
Posted: 04 Aug 2014, 20:38
HI everyone,
I've been trying to recover files using TestDIsk on Linux from an 8GB SD card. They were for the most part mp3 files, for which I have no backup.
This is what I tried:
- first of all, fdisk reports the card as:
/dev/mmcblk0p1
- I made a copy of the SD card using dd.
- I ran TestDisk, but couldn't do to Advanced->Boot->Rebuild BS, as there were no partitions found.
- I tried QUick search, then deeper search, but to no avail.
- I ran photorec, no files found (I set the option to look for .mp3 files)
Is there anything else I should try? Or should I toss the SD card for good?
Thanks a lot,
Simon
