Used diskpart-clean command on sd card? Help

[jumanji]

Still nothing doing it that way. ):
Do you think a professional company would be able to recover it if i sent it out? Or did i completely ruin it?

I can't say anything for sure unless I see your SD card with a Sector Editor and examine the sectors in it.

But before we venture into it - its going to be an exercise for you but not difficult anyway - please try this.

Download, install and run the free Trial version of Getdataback Simple, scan your SDcard and check whether it shows all your files. Report.( I had tried and it recovered mp3 files and played those well. To copy you have to buy a licence. I didn't buy since I only wanted to experiment with it and it did a good job.)

So this happened, showing FAT16, FAT12, FAT32, FAT16 again. When i open each of them i dont see any photo files, just random folders?
I did the complete scan

 

[jumanji]

Double click on Store-V1 folder to open it and see what is inside.
Do that on Store- V2 also.
Do you see any jpg files?

 

[Jennied123]

no jpg files

 

[jumanji]

hmmm...............then I am afraid there is no jpg file on your microSD card to be recovered.( You may open the other FAT16,FAT12 volumes also and check if there is something inside.)

That card itself I guess came from a digicam or cellphone.

Were you able to see the photographs when you put it on your PC?

Whatever, there is nothing in it now, as far as I can see. No need to do a sector examination too.

Try what SIW2 had suggested in his post #12. He has always been suggesting it, but I had never tried it. So you are on your own.

 

[Jennied123]

okay thank you for all your help!

I was just curious to find out what is that Spotlight-V100 shown by Getdataback Simple and googling found that is created by Mac Systems on USBs plugged into it.

"The .spotlight-v100 and .trashes folders were created automatically by an Apple Macintosh computer system that the USB flash drive was plugged in before. These two folders are automatically created whenever a USB flash drive is connected to a computer system running an Apple Mac operating system. Spotlight is an indexing process on the Mac that will save the information that are gathered in the .spotlight-v100 directory."

Does that give you any clue on that SD Card?

Are you even looking at the correct SD Card for the photos????????????

This of course is proving to be the anticlimax for the whole thread, thanks to Getdataback simple.

Is it only photos you want to recover?

Zar photo recovery module is free.

I had a friend try to help me with photorec on his Mac before you suggested it. And yes it it the correct card. It was only reformatted on may 1st. So it wasn't that long ago, I've been trying for days straight to fix it.

 

[Jennied123]

Someone told me it had something to do with the sectors? I'm not too sure what that means.

 

[jumanji]

OK ma'm, the author of PhotoRec/TestDisk recommends two programs to try when PhotoRec is not successful.

1. GetDataback NTFS (now Getdataback Simple) - we have already tried it and
2. Zero Assumption Recovery - Yep, that is what was suggested by SIW2 in his post#28. And as he said digital picture recovery is free.

So try your luck. Data Recovery Software, Solutions, Tutorials, Forum - ZAR Data Recovery

I've used ZAR to recover photos from a camera's Micro SD card but that was a few years ago. The user interface is a little confusing, at first, but I was able to recover all but just a few pictures. I used a card reader on the PC since the camera wouldn't even recognize the SD. It worked so well, I bought the package. As it turns out, I haven't needed it since.

 

[Jennied123]

I will give this a try, and get back to you all! thank you

 

[Jennied123]

ZAR did not work, it must just be my SD card or something. But i really messed it up i guess. Any way a professional could do it if no recovery softwares can?

 

[Jennied123]

This is the error message i got. Does anyone know what it means by misconfigured?

 

[carwiz]

Yeah, I suspect the data is toast then. I just ran ZAR on my "blank" camera card and got pictures from 2005!

One last thing to try: Insert the card in the camera. Does the cameral recognize the card? If so, use the camera's option to quick format the card. Then re-run ZAR.

 

[Jennied123]

Just tried this recovery program, and got this message, does anyone know the reason? The little blocks it ran through on this recovery had red on all of them, which means bad sectors? Maybe something else needs to be fixed before running a photo recovery?

 

[Jennied123]

Would this hurt to try?

 

[carwiz]

Try it. I doubt anything can hurt at this point.

ZAR creates a log file in: C:\Program Files (x86)\ZAR as logfile.txt. Upload this log.

Your SD card got misconfigured the moment it was plugged into the Mac system. The tell-tale sign is the presence of .Spotlight -V100.

As far as data recovery is concerned we always go not one extra mile but many, to make sure that nothing gets written into media under recovery. In this case something undesirable has happened.

Whether you should get on to a professional recovery service, please wait to hear other knowledgeable residents here.( I am only a visitor and don't know how it goes here)
