i'll be looking this up on the net..but just incase anyone knows..
have a friend who just got married again. the reception pix are on a 4 gig sd card.. his son shot the pix, and on that sd card are other pix,..total a wee bit more than a thousand pix, plus..heaven knows why..but teens are a bit nutty these days.. a 700 meg movie.
result? the card is a bit stuck, corrupted, a mess. It won't allow me to delete the movie, it won't allow me to copy pix from there onto my laptop, and it takes eras .. read a couple hours..to open up the dcim folder. and that other folder in it.
ideas anyone? need to salvage the reception pix.

If u hav a camera that'll take that card
see if it has an option to copy from card to camera internal memory
if it does try that
then if works
use camera to format card
let me know if that works for you

Are you unable to copy any of the files? or just a few of them?

hmm... well, you can try to use some program like FileResque to see if it can restore the files for you.

ah..thanks you two. rayraz.. thanks..i did try some file rescue program i got from download.com but though they've managed to give me back 100 odd pix, 40 of them are in some form of jpeg graphic file that i can't seem to even open up in photoshop.

Try Irfanview
Also, see if you can mount it under Linux, try Mint or Ubuntu

Umm does your all in one printer have an SD slot?
Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!

hi clay.
i don't have an all in one printer.. ;-p though i wish did. I've saved whatever i could.. and then tried formatting the card.. it wouldn't even format. i've given up.. and gave the card back, sadly.
but continue..if ever again some sd card gets corrupted..printing the images directly you think would work?
cheers

Use Rescue Pro from sandisk, this was the free version before they went pay mode.
Grab it from my drop box. All you do is unzip it somewhere and run the rescuepro.exe you'd be amazed what you can recover with it.

Thank you, A-X64. I downloaded the program for possible future disasters. I am forever swapping data from camera to puter to another puter and back. SD card file transfers are mega faster than flash drives.

thank you Analog! bless ya! i'll recall the SD card from my friend and pull out whatever i can get! bless ya!
cheers

Also, Check the little lock swith on the side of the card. I had one once that said unlocked, but the little switch was moved just a bit, I thought I lost everything but it finally worked.
You should never doubt what no one is even sure about.

A Secure Digital card over 2 GB, is an HD card. Your computer may not have the drivers to read them, and/or your equipment cannot handle them.

well..sarissi..even the camera cldn't read it..
Sarissi posted Tue, 18 October 2011 at 7:49 PM
The camera.... Is it the same camera the photos were taken on, and the same card that was in the camera?

The link to the software that I posted earlier in this post will even recover from the memory of the camera as long as the camera is connected to the PC via USB and it is recognized as a mass storage device.
