SD card recovery

#1 Post by jimblandford »

Hello. I accidentally formatted my SD card in my camera. After formatting the card I immediately removed it from the camera and prevent and further data being written.

I successfully used PhotoRec 2 years ago when I did the same thing (thank you). This time however, after pass 2 PhotoRec has not found any files.

Card is being read by inbuilt reader on MacBook running macOS 10.15.7

If anyone has any suggestions as to what other methods or tools (TestDisk?) I can try I would be very grateful. Thank you.

You can try out any other recovery tool.
Did you run Photorec with admin rights?
