PhotoRec ignores the file system and goes after the underlying data, so it will still work even if the media's file system has been severely damaged or reformatted. It can retrieve lost files from FAT, NTFS, exFAT, HFS+, and ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. PhotoRec is a file data recovery software designed to recover lost files including video, documents, and archives from hard disks, CD-ROMs, and lost pictures from digital camera memory. I don’t know exactly what was on my card but I was pleased to find all my precious cat pictures after the scan. Eventually I tried PhotoRec, and this nice little freeware was able to recover the vast majority of my files in a few hours.
Some of them were not really free while others were extremely slow during the scanning process (up to three weeks to scan my card). The loss was not critical but I still wanted to recover the thousands pictures and videos saved on the 128 GB card.Īfter a quick Internet search, I installed a few freewares but most didn't work that great. My computer was able to read the card and open a few pictures but the vast majority of the files were gone. Recently, the images stored on the microSD card of my smartphone got corrupted. After the Internet lost its mind over the single memory card slot of the new Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, I may have found a potential antidote against this madness.
