Greetings all;
I have a 128 meg Smartmedia card that had something happen last time I transferred photos off of it (via card adapter to my powerbook). I got all the jpgs the first time, but they have unknown headers and are corrupt somehow. Further use of the card in any device shows it as an unformatted card0 so the MBR or something is munged.
I have a powerbook 1400/9.2 with an older version of Norton, a XP laptop with no 3rd party recovery SW, a OS X 10.2.8 with USB card reader and no recovery software, and a Win98 desktop with a USB card reader with Norton Systemworks 2001.
I've googled a bit for photo/file recovery software and never seen so many misleading hits for "free" software that ends up costing $30 to $70 to actually use it. PLus so many unending link farms full of ads that don't take you anywhere...
Is there a tool that I can trust to get these photos off that I already have in hand in the list above, or a free tool for OS X or XP that will recover files from a corrupt volume? MAc or PC doesn't matter much to me, but it's a PC filesystem format card (FAT? I guess).
Since the came off munged the pictures may be munged on the SM. If that's the case you're probably SOL. Try putting the card back in the camera and see if it can read them.
