Photorec on Mac keeps showing me unmounted drives

#1 Post by antpicc »

Hi! This is my first post here, although I am using TestDisk and Photorec since ever.

I have a problem with Photorec on Mac. I used it this morning on a 32 giga SD card. Then, I unmounted the card. If I run Photorec again, however, it keeps showing me that drive, as if it had never been unmounted. I checked the drives list through Mac Terminal, and apparently that drive is actually not there. So...what's going on? Hope someone may help...

I attach pics!

As long as the card is not "ejected", photorec should list this device.
