This is worth a try. However, I would first dump the whole card to a file, make a copy of the file, and try all recovery attempts on the copy. This way, you can always go back to the original and try something else. Make a copy: dd if=/dev/sda of=xd.img bs=1M Make a working copy: cp xd.img xd_work.img Re-create the partition table: fdisk -b 512 -C 1024 -H 5 -S 50 xd_work.img Enter: "n", "p", "1", "1", "1024", "t", "6", "w" (Not quite sure about the partition type (6), you might want to try other types like FAT32 (b)) Try to mount the partition: mkdir mnt mount -o ro,loop,offset=25600 xd_work.img mnt (25600 is 50 (number of sectors) * 512 (bytes per sector), that's the start of the first partition) Most of this will have to be done as root, so please be careful.
