removable disk showing RAW
hey guys,
my friend has a gopro hero3 and she wants to get some footage off the camera onto her windows 7 PC. problem is when she connects the camera the windows dialog comes up saying the disk e: needs to be formatted before use, obviously this would delete the footage which we want to avoid
in my computer the device shows up as only removable disk e: yet in disk management there are three separate entries for e:, not partitions, 3 e's, all of which are healthy volumes, primary partitions and 30MB in size. yes 30MB! and here's the problem, where it says NTFS for the computers hard drive, the camera shows up as RAW.
I have tried literally everything I can think of, and numerous disk recovery tools, all of which seem to throw up no files
the camera has worked before in someone else's hands, however they did it on a mac - yet I cannot forsee a problem with this as it should still really be a universal format given its a gopro camera
any idea
thanks
tom
