It’s not really that difficult and, in my case, Disk 4 shows as an SD card with 1,876 MB of data on it – pretty clearly it is the SD card.

This is probably the most confusing portion of the exercise because you’ll need to identify which of the devices in the list is your camera card. The program looks for devices that are installed. Luckily she called by to ask if she should she simply put the disk in the trash or was there an alternative? I grabbed the disk and sent her to get coffee – before she got back I had her images off the damage disk and burned to a DVD. The shop owner explained the process was time consuming and complex – hence the cost.įor my friend, the thirty or so photos just didn’t justify the expense.

As she had over 1,000 images on the card – the math wasn’t pretty – over $600 to get her images. Even though she only wanted the most recent images – some 30 or so – she’d have to pay for all the images they recovered. She took the card to a camera store and was quoted $25 to look at the card and then $15 for every 25 pictures recovered from it. However, she was sure she’d lost the shots she’d taken on her recent vacation. If she put it in her computer she was told to format the disk to use it – sensibly she didn’t do this.

She’d been using a SD card in her point and shoot camera for some time and now the card had stopped functioning. A friend turned up today with a curly question.
