SD Card read errors Controler?
Posted: 02 Jan 2017, 00:57
My SD card was used in a Fuji XP90. All of the images disappeared - the camera went out of charge - not sure whether that was the problem. I closed the read lock on the card straight away
The card is recognized when I put it into the computer slot. It mounts and the DCIM and 100_FUJI folders show up and there are some icons showing up, but the file names are corrupted. Trying to copy them over to my hard disk gives me a splicing error.
photorec_static came up with no files to copy
I tried to look at the partition table using TestDisk but it didn't find a partition. A detailed analysis shows this:
Disk /dev/sdc - 15 GB / 14 Gib - CHS 14824 64 32 (RO)
Analyse cylinder 1862/14823: 12%
Read error at 1862/1/1 (lba =NNNNNNN)
etc. etc. So each cylinder is failing to be read by the looks of it.
Its a 16GB SD Card, not sure if the 15GB given is therfore important
I tried to use TestDisk to make an image.dd. It wrote a file with the message "there were errors" but using photorec on the image it produces an ioctl error - file unreadable.
Help or observations gratefully accepted. The card is from my 11 year old daughters camera and has/had every cake she's baked for three months - and bad Dad didn't think to back up a brand new card in a brand new computer.
Thanks Simon
