How can you save files from a corrupted memory card?

Question

Please tell me, they are Very important, like once in a life time sort of video!

Answer 1

not able to, unless you pay to have the card read by tech savvy individuals who charge enormous fees to recover lost data.



That is the only way to recover you lost data.

Answer 2

First of all, photos should always be downloaded immediately and then backed up.

You should not be storing photos on a memory card.



It doesn't happen very often, but memory cards can and do fail.

When you simply delete (instead of format), it can cause errors on the card.

Regularly formatting them in the camera helps to prevent problems.





For now, try a USB card reader in the hope that you can get the photos off,

then remember the rules for the future.



If you can't get them off, google for some image recovery programs. There are plenty of them out there, but strangely enough not everyone seems to always work, sometimes it takes several programs to get the photos back, but you should have a reasonable chance of getting at least most of them back.



Good luck!

Answer 3

DONT PANIC



no seriously, theres a piece of software called dont panic, and theres other versions, like 'file recovery software'. download the chosen software and run it. it might find your files, i hope it does, thats the only problem with digital, so damn easy to lose so many photos etc... :(



if youre in the uk, go to a jessops and some of them have software to search for files on their lab computers. might be a good idea to ring them first though.
