| 10:07.44 | migmeneses | hello there, for some reason a good amount of *.gif and *.jpeg got deleted or corrupted on a sd-card/folder, i recover those file using photorec and testdisk...but even if the files/pictures still have their original sizes and details I cant open any of those files/pictures it says it isn't a gif o jpeg ...any suggestions |
| 10:20.49 | vagarwal | migmeneses: most probably they are corrupt. your safest bet is to try to backup the sd card using dd and try some other recovery tool on that image |

| 14:56.04 | migmeneses | ChoHag, how do you do that ? |
| 14:57.54 | ChoHag | Well that depends on what kind of backup you made. |
| 15:12.35 | migmeneses | ChoHag, well I tried before tesdisk and photorec....I recover all the files, But I cant see them at all, when I am trying to open them or convert them back to gif or other, it says it isnt a gif/jpeg file |
| 15:12.50 | migmeneses | I will try dd plus another software |
| 15:14.56 | ChoHag | Next time, back up your data. Especially that which is stored on an unreliable medium. |
| 15:15.00 | ChoHag | Then all you will need is cp. |
| 15:21.23 | yaMatt | ChoHag, well done for telling migmeneses the least useful thing possible |
| 15:22.01 | migmeneses | ChoHag, :) |
| 15:23.37 | yaMatt | I don't know if dd will make the situation any better, at the end of the day running the tools on a copy of the disk or the disk itself is pretty much the same thing |
| 15:24.02 | yaMatt | migmeneses, if you're used that SD card for other images before it will attempt to recover those too |
| 15:25.02 | yaMatt | but I expect those tools are built for spinning metal, and SD cards, like SSDs write the data all over the disk, so doing a recovery will take a lot more work |
| 15:25.22 | wethrin | photorec/testdisk is designed for SD/CF cards |
| 15:25.55 | yaMatt | orly? |
| 15:27.33 | yaMatt | still, didn't help migmeneses :) |
| 15:29.56 | migmeneses | ok, when I used photorec I got all the deleted pictures from the last few years, I know that |
| 17:09.25 | morsing | msg wethrin ping |
| 18:08.40 | vagarwal | my 2p to atleast dump the image as that sd card might die soon |
| 20:39.07 | yaMatt | that's true |
