Can't find partition data.

#1 Post by HarryBack »

I have an 8gb micro SD card that just stopped working. One second I was looking at pictures that are (were?) on it and the next second the card couldn't be recognized by the computer I was on, my phone, or any other device I tried.

It shows up as a 2.16TB unallocated drive on my laptop as well as on photorec.

I tried recovering the data on it using Photorec but no dice.

Testdisk couldn't find any partitions or anything else on it. (I tried analyze, Quicksearch, and deep search)

Is there something else I could try or is it shot?

I'm not sure if it's relevant but its a 15 year old, generic, 8gb micro sd that spent it's working life in android phones.
