Help Sandisk Card Corrupt !!!!

[John Kemp]

Hi,
Came back from covering a wedding to find that one of my cards cannot be identified in camera or card reader.

How on earth do I recover this card? Have you any recommedended techniques or companies you recommend in the UK?

Here's hoping...

...no help out there?
Well I suppose it's an uncommon problem which gives me some hope for the future.
But I need some recommended solutions soon....

Regards

Hi John,

I've bookedmarked PhotoRescue in case I ever have this problem. I recall reading a positive article on it by a well known photographer, whom I can no longer recall.

PhotoRescue 3.0 main page

Good luck.

Best regards,

As far as my tests (3 types of recovery software) no program can help because the card is not visible either in pc (or mac) or camera. I've phoned two recovery places disklabs and Ontrack data recovery repectively £155 and £370- £470. How do I choose which one to go with???

You could try reformatting the card in the camera/computer (that's if the camera will let you - even if it cant' see it). You won't be erasing images, just the image addresses.

I thought of that but it worries me that I'll mess things up even more. Are you sure stuff won't be deleted?
