A workmate has asked me to try and recover some photos on a corrupt 512MB compact flash card. The card is /dev/sda and I have tried the following:
:~$ dd if=/dev/sda of=image.img bs=512 I stopped this when the image.img file got to about 5GB :~$ fdisk /dev/sda This informs me that I need to set the no. of cylinders. Partition info shows 4 partitions all starting on the same boundary. I tried a Windows recovery program and this showed the disk to be 2 TB in size. Scanning for 12 hours gave 1% completion and no files found. Obviously the FAT is corrupt. Is there any hope of recovering this or is he out of luck? -- John K Masters - User #417400 in the Linux Counter http://counter.li.org/ No trees were killed in the creation of this message.
