  1. Anyone here familiar with Sd card recovering ?
    I have recorded a video with my camcorder the other day but the folders are empty. I tried various softwares (like recuva,pandora recovery and others) but with only partial recovery (~340MB of a ~2 Gb file).
    The strange thing is pandora recovery says the file is 90% overwritten and i don't see how that could be because i haven't recorded anything after. I guess the sd card is faulty/too old and the partition failed somehow, it's a mystery for me (power was ok, sd card emptied before recording)
    I need something robust to deal with the problem

    Thanks for your help

  2. Copy of something I posted on XDA-Developers a few weeks back, nearly same as your question.

    Get Card reader for PC, and use PhotoRec (or more advanced but perhaps more difficult to use, by same programmers, TestDisk).
    PhotoRec on WikiPedia:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoRec
    TestDisk on WikiPedia:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TestDisk.

    Try PhotoRec first, it can probably recover files if either of them can (and is easier to use), and Testdisk if that fails.

    If anything can recover your lost files, one of these can.

    Be sure to read the documentation thoroughly [Especially for Testdisk].

  3. Thanks for your help photorec is the only one that has fully recovered the video. For some reason i had trouble to run it on Vista at first (downloaded from the wiki, official page) then i've downloaded from somewhere else (old version i believe) and it worked
