Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / September 2006Stuffed CF card
Was in a frantic panick this week to get some quick shots of a Great Egret and in the rush of changing over CF cards I accidentally popped out my 1 gig card from the camera before it had finished writing. Now it won't read or format in the camera. Don't have a port on the PC for it yet, its on the way though. Is there any way to salvage these disasters? Have a wrecked the card? Any advice on what I can do? cheers,  SignatureJasen Anderson http://www.pbase.com/naturalfocus > Was in a frantic panick this week to get some quick shots of a Great Egret > and in the rush of changing over CF cards I accidentally popped out my 1 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > wrecked the card?

From there pop it back into your camera and reformat. ***WARNING***: ALL data (read "images") on the card will be lost. If you want to salvage them, you will first need to use a recovery program like PhotoRescue. Both programs are available from here... http://www.datarescue.com/photorescue/download.htm Cheers Russell My Gallery: http://www.pixelpix.com.au/gallery Thanks to all. Ordered a card reader last night ($9 on Ebay). Will let you know how it goes.

WHY!!!!! would you buy one off ebay at $9 (plus postage etc) when most places have them for $10-$15 bucks .. > > Thanks to all. Ordered a card reader last night ($9 on Ebay).

But more often they are just addicted to ebay. MrT. > .. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > MrT.

Find "one that you like"?? If a card reader fits your cards (most cover nearly all formats these days) and is not broken, why would you not like it I wonder? My computer shop has 12 in 1's, with cable for $12 new. I'm betting the postage and other fees was more than $3. As for phone calls, what's wrong with using the internet as you do with ebay? But it's your choice, and good luck to you. MrT.

I recommend Sandisk Rescue Pro. Works for even reformated cards :) > Was in a frantic panick this week to get some quick shots of a Great Egret > and in the rush of changing over CF cards I accidentally popped out my 1 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > wrecked the card?
