My SD card fucked up in the middle of some file transfer and is unusable, I've tried running chkdsk but I get that the file system is RAW and it's not compatible.
Anyone knows of a free tool that allows me to recover it? I tried some EaseUS tool but the trial only allows seeing what's in there but not recovering and other tools or the latest cracked version of this that I've been able to find either don't recognize it, like Recuva, or don't show as many files as EaseUS's.
No one gives a fuck. Stop creating these shitty threads because you're too retarded to use a computer and too jewish to buy software which you're not smart enough to pirate.
make a dd image of the stick with windd, mount image with osfmount and deepscan with recuva
You can generally bruteforce your data back. Bits are either 1 or 0 so you can usually restore up to a terabyte in a few hours
Just run
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/[your disk] bs=4096
When its finished you will get a percentage of the data recovered. Generally it will be 90%+
Look up gnu ddrescue. With the disk image you recover from that, use photorec or similar software.
gentoo's normally a meme here but it'd actually help with portage tree having some exclusive SD card repair utilities, most local """tech repair""" locations will actully run gentoo somewhere soley for this reason
Got me some things to do, then. Thanks, guys.
no. thes overwrite data
>/dev/urandom
You need to be more creative than that.
Use photorec, I've used it before to pull files off a RAW partition
We are fucking help desk
Fuck off retard

This is fucking easy.
Open an administrator command prompt, and type in "diskpart". This opens the disk utitility. Then type "list disk" and type the number of the disk it is. Type "clean" and press enter. It'll remove corrupted content and any recoverable files can then be copied from the disk.
This fixes everything
So you have corrupted your partition table where your data ID goes too.
Reformat the partition and press the recover stage.
You cannot recover data if the partition table is corrupted. It is like leaving the access bits on and having to wait for the HDD to finish writing the last bits which never happens.
Literally reformatting is the only option
Another reason why people use RAID 1 or RAID 5 over single disks configs.
Next time install and use Gentoo
how would this have helped?
Use ZAR professional. It's not free but you can easily find it on the piratebay. It does a very well job with recovering data from hdd's and flash memory. Beware that it's a windows program.
>RAID5
dont use raid5
Testdisk
Recover your hard drive? Wtf? Just restore your backups on the new drive Einstein.
