p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · Help! How to recover lost photos in SD Card | |
Since you've already run a recovery and recovered previously deleted/reformatted photos that were on the card but not the 20 you needed it might be possible that those twenty were never processed by the camera when it took the shots. In other words, there is a possibilty that there may not be any real data to recover from those files in the first place. But we can't be sure at this point so don't give up on it and don't use that card until you've exhausted all attempts. It's ok to copy the contents of that card on to a hard drive and run recovery software on the copy file.
What did you use for recovery software? I've used Lexar's program and it brought back a lot of photos that were on a CF card that I accidently reformatted. However, It did not recover any video files from that same card that were included in that unfortunate reformat. Maybe if the videos were just deleted instead of re-formatted it might have worked.
I recommend downloading the Lexar Recovery software and giving that a try. It's free with Lexar cards but you'll need the code from the package or else you can purchase it separately. Better off getting it with a new card. SanDisk includes free software too.
If the files are that important and you're willing to pay a few hundred dollars to get them back, there are professional digital forensic companies you can send it to with a quick turnaround. If they can't do it then those files are truly toasted.
Let us know how you do.
