CDaug Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have tried Recuva program to recover deleted files from a sd card in a digital camera. The card has not been rewritten on or reformatted since the pictures were deleted. I have the camera plugged in to the computer with a USB cord and the card is in the camera. The computer recognizes the camera and you see it in the listings under my computer. When I run the Recouva program and try to choose that location it does not show up in the list under my computer. So I can't choose it. Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted July 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2014 The camera is seen as a Photo-Transfer-Peripheral (PTP) in order for recuva to see a drive it must mount as a drive letter. Try taking the sd out of the camera and use it in a card reader. ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

CDaug Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ok thanks. I was thinking that but I don't have a card reader. I also don't have the slot on my hard drive for the sd card to go into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DennisD Posted July 21, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2014 Try one of these ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Integral-Secure-Digital-Single-Reader/dp/B0047T6XWY One of the best things I've bought and cheap as chips. Instead of the painfully slow card reader transfer speeds, you get USB speed, and of course the card is recognized by the computer and given a drive letter. Also on ebay ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/161319330905?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 We only have SD cards in my house, but you can get "multi-readers" if you need one and want to google for it.

John G. Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Actually, my guess is that this is instead related to the problem with recent versions of Recuva and "virtual" drive letters. Are you SURE that it doesn't show up as a drive letter? Look and see if it does. If it DOES give it a drive letter, but Recuva still does not see it -- then this is a KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RECUVA. Try finding and installing Recuva v1.49.1019 instead of the latest versions. It sees virtual drive letters (such as those from camera devices and/or ImDisk mounted drives) just fine. I bet it will work for this. - John... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
