this would be how much data is actually on the disk. One thing that might be interesting is if you could do a search/replace, and replace the hex values 'FF' with nothing, then see what is left over.

It might be a good idea to take an image of the card. Well, I got sidetracked while answering, so looks like you found HxD. Once in HxD choose 'Extras' and 'open disk' and choose the card.Īs pcimage said, look through the disk a bit. Right-click the HxD icon and choose 'run as administrator' I am using win 7, adjust for your OS if you need to.Ĭlick start, all programs, HxD hex Editor. You will have to run it as administrator to open a disk. HxD is a lightweight HEX Editor I use a lot. The card is detected and the folders that normally hold the photos are displayed but 0 files of 0 files recovered. The software that I have utilized thus far is as follows: Asoftech Photo Recovery, Card Data Recovery, Card Recovery, EaseUS Data Recovery, Formatted SD Card Recovery Pro, GetDataBack for FAT, iCare Data Recovery, ICare Format Recovery, MJM Free Photo Recovery, Ontrack EasyRecovery, PhotoRescue, RecoveryFix For Windows, Recuva, Rescue Pro, SD Card Photo Recovery Pro, Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery, Wondershare Photo Recovery, Yodot Photo Recovery, Zero Assumption Recovery, Remo Recover, and R-Undelete.Įach of the Data Recovery applications that I have tried basically render the same results. I took out the card from the computer and replaced back in the camera and formatted using the menu options in my camera 'format' (Canon EOS T2i Digital SLR).Ĥ) Can you name some of the software your ran? I thought I had downloaded with Zoom Browser but I had not. Upon returning home, I removed the card and inserted in card slot of computer to remove photos. The card is a Transcend Class 10 16GB SDHC.Ģ) Before formatting, how much data did the media have approx?Īpproximately 1GB maybe 2GB at the most was utilized in photos taken.ģ) How exactly did you format? Perhaps specify the way the camera works in terms of formatting.
