I have a 8GB Micro SDHC card. I need to recover old photos on this Micro SD card.
When Plugged into 2 laptops nothing at all is detected under omputer, or disc managment.
When Plugged into my other computer it states I need to format the card, windows 7 fails to format the card (As does SDFormatter applications, and 2 diffreint phones I have plugged into)
I have tried every single recovery program out there, however the card has changed to RAW and only displays a maximum size of 30.6MB instead of the full 8gb.
Sandisk tells me I need to spend $175 to send it somewhere and have the card read which is insane. I have seen many topics on this while doing my research however no answers for this. Maybe someone found out how to resolve this issue?
There must be some program or guide out there when I can recover my old photos. I would love any help on this issue!
Also would it matter if instead of an SD card adapter I get one for USB could that even change this case? Also I am going to walmart to try plugging the MIcro SD card directly into the photo machine but I don’t have much hope for that.
My situation is my SDHC card taken on camera. Having SDHC card 8B checked on PC left 74MB free of 98MB.
Im very anxious to get those photos which I have taken along the way, incl. wedding photos.
When I insert card into camera, only 2 options, power off or format. When I slot card onto reader on PC, it cannot detect the drive. When I connect via usb cable on laptop, the files are not there either. I suspect there is somewhere bios update that are not aware of.
If any one knows of solutions or alternative methods in trying out, pls share information with me please! I really headache and heartache …
