Data recovery required from Contour Cam SD Card - can YOU help?

(1/3) > >>

Diesel:
Anyone reading this a data recovery guru?


I have 30 Gb of fantastic footage relating to the Ballarat National Rally and the journey to and from there LOCKED on my micro SD card!      :cuss


When I got home, I was deleting an unrequired file, when the process locked up. I pressed cancel and it eventually went off the screen, however, after an OS refresh, the pooter told be there was no card inserted. I ejected it, re-inserted and am now told the card needs to be formatted - format now?       :||||


I haven't done this yet until I ask you braniacs. I am certain the info is still on there - just unaccessible.


Do you have any constructive advice, or somewhere for me to send the card to attempt a data recovery?        :phone 


Here is an example.....   Data Recovery Specialist - but they want $280 if successful, FREE if not.    :eek


Took it to one shop who wanted a $45 'booking in' fee before they'd even touch it.       :-(((


Prepared to pay around $30 to have it fixed. Any ideas?


Cheers, Diesel

Marcus:

STroppy:
Dave, I suppose you have tried putting it back in the camera and connecting the camera to the PC?

Brock:
Send it to me, I have software ( pandora recovery) that should do the job

Diesel:

@Brock - thx mate - PM sent.

Cheers, Diesel
