quaffle Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Greetings all. The other day my SD card became corrupt somehow and kept giving me errors when using it with Windows 7 (with a card reader) and in my digital camera. I just did a basic "quick format" using Windows so that it would be recognised (as Recuva can't restore things from damaged partitions as far as I know). This of course deleted all my images on there. I now need to get them back. Nothing else has been written to the SD card since. I ran a deep scan using Recuva to try and recover them with my options set like this: To my delight, all my images where discovered: However, when I click "Recover..." and select a destination (on my hard drive, not the flash drive) none of the files get recovered after waiting for the progress bar to fully complete and I get a message saying that the "semaphore period has expired". I have no idea what this means. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted May 20, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2011 It appears to be a lack of response from (presumably) the SD card. Google shows many hits for this, and many causes, including bad usb connection, too many threads, large files, anything networky etc. I can only suggest that you plough through a few of them.
