Corrupted Memory Card

sallyx

Just wondering if anyone can help. I have a CF flash card which has suddenly decided to corrupt and now just asks me to format it. It has some very special photos on it, anyone any ideas on retrieval or is it a case of sending it to the professionals?

thanks in advance

There are quite a few free recovery tools out there. I had a problem with an external hdd which I managed to fix using http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download even though Windows didn't even allocate a drive letter to it. I don't know for sure if it will look at a flash disk but it's free so you've little to lose trying.

Have you tried it with a different card reader?

Have you tried http://www.recuva.com/

It comes from the same people who do ccleaner and it says it works on memory cards
