Unable to read CF Card*** - 10-10-2011, 05:50 PM


I did a shoot today and my camera was reading the images on the card, but when I plugged it into my computer I got an error message that my computer didn't recognize the drive. Now when I plug the card back into my camera I'm getting the message that the card isn't formatted for my camera. It's a Sandisk Extreme 8GB and I'm not sure if the recovery process can even salvage the images on it, or if I'm at a total loss. If it is recoverable does anyone know where or who I need to contact in order to initiate the recovery process?

Thanks :/

Your best bet is to use the Lexar or Sandisk recovery program first. Obviously don't use the card, format the card, anything like that. The recovery programs come free with the professional cards, so you may even just want to buy a card to get it. If the recovery program doesn't work, then come back and we'll go from there, and decide if you want to send the card away or what.
