Corrupt SD Card...

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.dcameras (More info?)

I just came back from a trip and discovered one of my SD Cards full of
pictures, has corrupted...
The Camera wont format it and the Computer can't recognize it...
Is there anything can be done , apart from the obvious... thanks.

Thanks for that Graham, I downloaded and tried your suggestion...
It took 4 & a half hours to check my SD Card, then told me it found no
pictures.
So I guess it's the dumper for it now....D

OK I tried this, and it came up dry, it found nothing.
The PC doesn't even recognize the card...

If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, unsolder memory chips and directly access their raw data with a programable chip reader. Software can't help, that is a physical damage!
