CRASHED CF card -- data recovery??
Hello,
My 4GB compact flash card crashed yesterday (containing all the pix from a wedding I'd just shot). Does anyone know how to recover the data (hopefully using a Mac utility, not Windows -- but I'll do whatever necessary).
The data is still there I believe — but it’s unreadable on the computer and on the camera — the files show up on the computer as just hieroglyphics and when I try to open any of them, suddenly that hieroglyphic file disappears from the list. However, the card shows only 1 gigabyte of 4 available — meaning that the data from the 300+ shots is still in there, but inaccessible.
It is a Hoodman 4GB Compact Flash card.
Thanks so much in advance!!
