I have "lost" about 50 images from my camera card. The card is full, yet the images are not retrievable. Do you know how to recover the images? I have tried to use "File Recovery by Type" and "Disk Editor", but WinHex (and my Windows Explorer) don't recognise the camera as a device - yet the PC is recognising it when the camera is in "play" mode. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. | ||

You may need a card reader that makes the card accessible as a logical drive letter or physical disk. | ||

Hi. I have a crative pc cam. I lost may best pictures. There were 60 pictures in my pc cam memory and I delete them. do you know how can I recover them?? I'm sorry becuse of my bad english. bye | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
I don't know how that PC Cam memory works. Only if it is accessible as a drive letter WinHex or Davory can help you. | ||

Hi all I am trying to recover deleted pics on my compact flash card. I have downloaded WinHex and I'm currently tyring to read my card (Tools / Disk Editor) however I keep on receiving the following error message "an error occured while reading from sector 0"...Any idea how I can get around this problem? I'm using my Kodak DC290 camera as a reader.... Thanks | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Sorry, I don't have any idea. Can you successfully open a different compact flash card? Can you try under a different Windows version (2000/XP as opposed to 95/98/Me)? | ||

Hi, on my Fuji FinePix 2600Z, I inadvertently formatted a card and lost 10-12 pictures. Can you tell me if your product can retrieve them? thanks. Gordon | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Sorry, no. There are probably thousands of different camera and card types out there, and there are many different data loss scenarios that are impossible to judge from remote, that's why I cannot guarantee anything. Only the manufacturer of your camera can tell what exactly the formatting process does to the card (i.e. if it is non-destructive or not). However, the good thing is that the software here is available as evaluation versions. I can recommend trying to open the card in Davory (if the card is not accessible as a logical drive letter or physical disk, by using a reader device) and running the two data recovery mechanisms on it. | ||

Hello, my daughter erassed all the pictures I had on my FUJIFILM 2800 Zoom. She took a picture and did not like it so she went to erasse it and had it on erasse all. I have purchased you product. Where do I start to try and got my Submarine Reunion pictures back? Thanks for any help you may give me. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
First try opening the camera card with Tools | Disk Editor. You may need a card reader that makes the card accessible as a logical drive letter (preferable) or physical disk. Then try Tools | Disk Tools | File Recovery by Name (first choice) and/or File Recovery by Name on it. Hopefully the pictures have not been physically overwritten by the camera during deletion, only logically marked as deleted in the file system. | ||

hi.i have fujifilm 1800. i took a lot of pictures one day but my sister accidentally erased it.i used davory to retrieve all my pictures but i cannot open the file. it has a file that reads as #scf0008.jpg. but everytime i open it it says 'not in the usable format'. is there a way i can see my pictures? | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
So Davory recovered all your pictures correctly except one? I am glad to hear that. If you like, send me that file by e-mail. Perhaps I can tell you more then. I recommend you also try "File Recovery by Type" if you didn't try so far. | ||

I burned some jpg. images onto a CD using "Nero" and for some reason it will not let me view them. The pictures are on the Disk the have file names, size and properties. Can this product help me open them? | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
You could try running WinHex' or Davory's "File Recovery by Type" on the CD opened as either a logical drive or physical disk. | ||

Hello there I hope you can help. I inserted my SmartMedia card into a card reader in order to copy picture files onto CD-RW. While highlighting individual photographs I accidentally copied each file. I then proceeded to undo the copy, which resulted in all the files disappearing. I ran the SmartMedia card through your evaluation program which recovered 32 files - 200 bytes each. Can you tell me that if buy your product will these files/photographs be fully recovered or is that a risk that I alone must take??? Thank you. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
If the evaluation version was able to recover them at a size of 200 KB (I assume you used File Recovery by Type), the full version can recover them at any size. Be generous, choose the largest file size you expect. Only if the files were stored in a fragmented way (=in discontiguous clusters), the resulting pictures may be incomplete. This depends on how the files had been saved on the SmartMedia card. E.g. deleting a file, adding two new files, deleting one file, adding more files might result in fragmented files. Adding all files one by one to an empty card without deleting individual files in between should result in perfectly unfragmented files. | ||

hi can i retrieve deleted images from the built in memory on polaroid digital camera? | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Only if the camera's memory is accessible from your computer (or, more exactly, from within Davory) as either a logical drive or physical disk. | ||

I took over 400 pictures on recent trip. After downloading them I formated my CompactFlask card and took about 50 pictures. Then for the first time in 15 years my hardrive crashed. Long sad story. Anyway when I searched the card by Name, Davory found 0 files, but by type it retrieved 470+ pictures. The new and most of the old, BUT they appear to be the Low Res thumbnails that my camera generates. Since when working by type (if I understand) Davory looks for continuous strings is it possible to identify using Winhex the Highres string - attach a jpeg header and then retrieve it? I am sure the files are on the card (with maybe some fragmenting) | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
File Recovery by Type is able to recover the normal pictures, provided they have not been overwritten. Maybe you did not select the correct JPEG subtype. Did you try both? Remember, as the evaluation version only recovers up to 200 KB files, the pictures recovered by this version may be incomplete, or in case of progressive encoding they may lack some level of detail (yet the resolution/dimension of the pictures should be correct). Only in case your camera uses neither the JFIF nor the Exif subtype (unlikely, I think), I would recommend use WinHex to identify an appropriate file header signature for recovery by file type. File Recovery by Type only recovers contiguous clusters, yes, but this is the case both in Davory and WinHex. | ||
| Richard Newman (Newmanrp) |
Are you you saying I should search for *.jfif and *.exif file names? What happens if I use *.* as a file name? By contiguous clusters do we mean physically next to each other or somehow linked via some number. In any case, can Winhex be used to identify the non-contiguous clusters and "relink" them? I have the full Davory (lincensed)and "By Type" would pull off 2 MB files", but when viewed, all that was present was a low res picture. The pictures should be less than 600 Kb. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |

The pictures should be less than 600 Kb. Low resolution or small dimension? Anyway, if trying the same with the other JPEG subtype does not help, I'm afraid I am at a loss, sorry. | ||
| Richard Newman (Newmanrp) |
Oh, I did not realize that the "by type" had more than one type of JPEG listed. I will Try the other one. Thanks again. | ||

I need help really bad. 2 memory sticks I have from a recent vacation has been corrupted. I have a Sony DSC-51. Both sticks have different issues. First stick asked me to format as I was trying to access the jpegs it wouldn't let me access it thru my card reader or USB. I ended up having to format it thru the camera. Although the stick still comes up as 125mb being used. I tried WinHex but they were not recovered. It comes up as #sc01153.jpg. Second stick's problem is that it won't let me view the pics thru the camera but I can see them thru my card reader, although if I try to view each single picture it gives me an error of "unknow file format" but it clearly says it's .jpg I tried to use WinHex which recovers only upto 200kb so they were all chopped of. I just wanted to know that if I buy the full version will it let me change the settings to a bigger size so I can atleast view the full picture. Please reply to my question as soon as you get a chance. Thanks so much in advance | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
> I tried WinHex but they were not recovered. > It comes up as #sc01153.jpg. "It" being a single file that was found by WinHex, but not recovered? Because of its size? The full version will remove that limitation. I recommend you also try File Recovery by Type. Yes, only the evaluation has the limit of 200 KB. The full version will let you change the setting to anything else, which allows you to view the full pictures, provided that the files have not been stored in a fragmented way (in discontiguous clusters). | ||

Hi Stefan. I'm trying to recover one digital photo file from a compact flash card that I erased ALL on before transferring the file off. I'm not sure if it was over-written or not, but did successfully recover some files using WinHex. One of the files recovered was the thumbnail .jpg file of the shot I want, but I can't seem to get the original .jpg or RAW file. In TYPE mode, all the files recovered were viewable, but none were the file I need. In NAME mode, the .jpg files recovered can not be viewed by my browser or by Photoshop. I get an error when trying to open them. Do you know if there is some way to make them viewable? I can e-mail one of the un-viewable files if that would help. Thanks, | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Yes, please feel free to e-mail me such a file. | ||

I purchased DAVORY to recover jpg files deleted from Fujifilm S2Pro smart media. Pictures were taken using 2M fine resolution. DAVORY succesfully recovered 9 files, however I can not open them. I tried Finepix Viewer and ACDsee. The message says: "file is broken or not in the usable format" On the other hand I can see details of size, date and time of each file. Any suggestion? REF #3227650 | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Could you send me one of these files by e-mail? As far as I know, FUJI cameras, unfortunately, delete the actual image data so thoroughly that it cannot be recovered, unlike other cameras that merely mark a file as deleted in the file system. If "File Recovery by Type" cannot find any file signatures, this is another typical symptom of this. | ||

I have a Nikon CoolPix2000 with a 32MB Memorex CompactFlash memory card. I have deleted approx 130 photo's when as I created a shortcut & didn't copy these files to my laptop. After the shortcut was setup I browsed thru the photo's & then very hastily started deleting the photo's on the camara via the laptop which was still connected to the laptop. The end result being that I have lost 130 photo's from my business trip to the US & UK. HOW CAN I RECOVER THIS PLEASE PLEASE NEED YOU HELP A.S.A.P. ROMEISH DIAS | ||

I have purchased Davory and used it succesfully last year to recover camera images - now I have to use it again - there may be something wrong with my camera but that is not important to you. On this occasion I have recovered most of the images but many of them are only visible in thumbnail form and when I try to open them with Windows Picture viewer, Paint, or any other programme I get a message saying "drawing failed". I can't print them or use them in any effective way. Any ideas? Mike Foster | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
A possible reason is that you have used File Recovery by Type with a too small output file size, or the files were stored in a heavily fragmented way, or the data has been corrupted due to a camera error. | ||

Hi. I own a Canon D300(rebel) and a IBM microdrive 1gb. I was shooting in Canon RAW mode and suddenly camera could not read the recent pics. I tried with card reader, computer also cannot read. I tried to repair with windows, but no help. Davory finds a lot of files named file0001.chk file0003.chk and so on. But i can not view the pictures. In "by type" there is no CRW or Chk. Help! | ||
| Mike Montgomery (Mikem22) |
Try copying the chk files off onto a PC. Rename the .chk to .RAW and see if they open then. Mike | ||

Hi, I have an Olympus C-700. Yesterday I was using it with a Smart Media 8mb card. It locked up. So I put in my backup 64mb. It worked fine all day. When I got home and tried to download all them to the computer, it said The Disk In Drive F Is Not Formatted. Do You Want To Format It Now? I downloaded a program to check to see if my photos were on there and they were but I can't retrieve them. I tried your instuctions for Davory but I couldn't get it to work. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong and If my pics can be retrieved?? And when/IF I get my pics , should I trash this card? Thanks in advance!! | ||
| Bill (Mryoung) |
Also I tried to open after I downloaded a Photo Rescue program with Kodak Easy Share and it said it could not open but the file Exists but may be damaged. Does this mean I can't get the photo? Even if I do purchase a Save program?? | ||
| Jens Kirschner (Admin3) |
Without telling us what error you got from Davory and at what point during the process, it is impossible to tell, what you might be doing wrong. Concerning whether or not it is possible to retrieve your images: That depends largely on what really happened to them. If they were stored correctly on your card, there is still a good likelyhood, Davory will be able to recover it. There is, of course, our data recovery service as well. It is only a shipping and handling charge if we fail to recover your pictures. See the link in the left frame of this forum. | ||

I am hoping that someone can help me with this grave situation that I am in. I recently had to reinstall my operating system because my previous working version was acting nutty. I didn't save any data because I didn't believe that there was anything of importance on my drive (dumb, I know!). Then when it was too late, I realized that I had just left all pictures without backing them up. Well I managed to find them with Recover It All, but only a tenth of the pictures are viewable. When I try to open the others(with Adobe Photoshop, FinePix Viewer, Microsoft Picture It!, or Paint) I either get the message "No header found", "Unsupported format", or both. Why did only some of the images recover and not the rest? Before I reinstalled there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. Is it possible to fully recover these files that are not showing? Someone please help me! All my daughters baby picture were on my computer and I am so devastated! | ||
| Jens Kirschner (Admin3) |
Did you install Windows on that drive again? Or has it been left blank after formatting? If the latter is the case, your pictures should definitely be recoverable using either WinHex (more options, more complex) or Davory. Here are instructions on how to proceed. In particular, any file you can find using "File Recovery by Name" should be perfectly ok. "File Recovery by Type" has a good chance of success, even if by Name fails, but pictures might only be partial. Now for the bad news: If you have already put new data (like a Windows installation) on that drive, parts of what used to be there will be overwritten. What parts exactly, I cannot predict, but this might have affected your pictures. Best of luck with your recovery attempts! Do check out Davory's or WinHex's help menu for further information on data recovery by name or type! And please keep in mind: Files above 200KB size will only be recovered by the full versions of those programs, the trial versions is limited! | ||

I bought a Canon Powershot S1 IS and it uses a compact flash. I was visiting family and took hundreds of photos and when I formatted my disk I think I lost all of the photos is there any chance of recovering those lost images now? I checked the manual which said all images even protected ones are deleted but I guess you could say I am in denial. Can a photo store go through my camera and pull anything out or is it hopeless? | ||
| Jens Kirschner (Admin3) |
First of all, formatting means nothing less than emptying the whole drive. So your manual saying that all pictures are gone would be right in so far. That does not need to be the end of it, though, depending on the nature of your camera's format function. Some (especially Fuji, but we have had single reports about Canon, too, unfortunately) actually destroy the data - and that will definitely be it. Most, however, and we know that from Canon cameras as well, will simply cleanse the file system, but not the files. Thus, the card appears empty, but the pictures might be recoverable. Photo stores could only help you if they offered actual file recovery services. Their standard procedures will not help you very much, I'm afraid. But you could either download Davory and try to find if there are any file headers left on your card or you could send the card to our data recovery service and we will attempt to recover your files for you. For more information, go here. | ||

I have a Kodak EasyShare CX7300 and deleted some important images from them on accident. Davory would not recognize the camera and I have found that all the other programs I downloaded to retreive the images came out the same way... is there anyway I can get these images back? | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
If these pictures were stored on a memory card, you will need a card reader. Please follow these data recovery instructions. | ||

Hallo Herr Fleischmann, ich habe eine 256MB Compact Flash Karte. Die Kamera (Canon A80) meldet Kartenfehler. Davory (Demo) meldet unter Windows 2000 und mit Cardreader, dass Administratorrechte erforderlich seien (ich befinde mich eigentlich im admin-Status (ich bin MAC-Anwender und nicht so firm in WIN)). Unter Mac OS wird die Karte gar nicht erkannt (auch nicht mit - sorry - Konkurrenzprodukten zu Davory). Haben Sie eine Idee? Danke und Gru§ aus dem Kšlner SŸden | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Wenn in Davory auch das Öffnen als physischer Datenträger fehlschlägt, könnten Sie noch andere, evtl. fehlertolerantere Kartenlesegeräte probieren. Sonst könnten Sie Karte noch zu Ibas, Ontrack, Convar oder Vogon etc. schicken. | ||
| Hanno Elbert |
Sollte denn evtl. ein Formatieren der Karte und das anschliessende recovern erfolgreicher sein? Anscheinend kann der "Startsektor" der Karte nicht gefunden werden (aehnlich bei Disks?) | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann (Admin) |
Wenn in Davory das Öffnen als physischer Datenträger fehlschlägt, hilft auch kein Formatieren (wenn es sich überhaupt durchführen ließe). Im Gegenteil würde Formatieren die Lage i. d. R. verschlimmern, weil dann Informationen über den Fragmentierungszustand der Dateien verloren gehen. | ||

I have been trying to recover a CD that lists in Windows Explorer as having 339 .jpg files in 9 folders, total size 214MB. There are 8 .jpgs that are no problem, the rest cannot be accessed. Using Winhex Pro, several bad sectors and several incomplete headers, as far as I can tell. Winhex seem to 'hang' when trying to open Logical or Physical media-. I DID manage to 'clone' the CD to a single 5.2MB file, but not sure what to do with that file, or if it will help. I have been reading many topics and threads on your site, and trying many approaches, but I am very new to this and still I must be doing something wrong- please help. | ||
| D (Dh) |
Make a RAW image using ISOBuster (http://www.isobuster.com/) then open the raw file in WinHex, select treat as disk (if you can)then choose FILE RECOVERY BY TYPE. Choose jpg. OR you could check the cd out just using ISOBUSTER. | ||
| Scott A. Glazier |
D, thanks for your reply. I did try ISOBuster, and still I am able to recover 0 Files, 0 Headers. It appears that there is much corruption on the optical disc. The corruption is a common conclusion, regardless of tool. The machine that created the original CD is scrapped, but perhaps I can harvest the original CDRom drive that was used, and see if it will recover any better. And even though it has been months, the HDD might also be a better source for the lost jpgs. | ||
| D (Dh) |
Hi Scott, I'm sorry to here 0 and 0. I would have to agree with you if isobuster found nothing that's doesn't sound good. I was wondering if you would get anything because 5.2mb of "cloned" cd that many pictures of did not sound right unless they were really small and/or comparessed.That's why I suggested making a raw image with iso and running it in winhex. (byte level search). Yes you might be able to get images back off hard drive. It all depends on how much you have wrote to the disk, and where the pictures use to be at. I have recovered files off disks that have been formated 2 or 3 times, along with new os installs and still found pictures that were 5 years old so it all just depends. If your original disk (ide or scsi ) that the pictures were are were under a diferent partition. EX. IDE-0 split into 3 partitions, if you have the option in winhex, (span for lost partitions) or check out FileRecoveryPro. Also if it was done like that you should try in winhex cluster and byte level searches. somethimes they turn up different things. Using another cd might help I know they say somethimes it makes a differance. Good luck. | ||

If you have lost pictures on your digital camera card, either by erroneous deletion or formatting or by any other influence (like a heavy thunderstorm affecting the sensible media), you have a good chance of recovery if the actual picture data has not been physically erased/overwritten (but only some file system data structures). The following is how to proceed: 1. Insert your SmartMedia card, CompactFlash card, or Memory Stick into your card reader device. 2. Run the software Davory (or, if you are not afraid of the additional complexity, WinHex). 3. Open the card (in WinHex using the Tools | Open Disk menu). Preferably as a logical drive, but you can also try as a physical medium. If as the latter, try to open a partition individually (in WinHex using the menu that opens when you click the "Access" button). 4. Now use File Recovery by Name or File Recovery by Type (or try both!) on the medium (in WinHex in the Tools | Disk Tools menu). In the case of File Recovery by Name, specify a file mask such as "*.jpg", in the case of File Recovery by Type select one of the listed file types. Please feel free to post here any questions not answered by other forum postings, the program help, or the software itself. | ||

| Alfons Kramer Username: admin3 Registered: 4-2004 |
First try do-it-yourself-data-recovery, then consider a professional data recovery service. Until then don't use the memory card to take further pictures. We do have Davory - see the link in the previous posting. There is an evaluation version available. In addition you need a card reader. | ||

| Alfons Kramer Username: admin3 Registered: 4-2004 |
A SIM card would not have pictures stored on it - it's capacity is too small. If the pictures are not stored on a memory card, like SD, CF, use an USB-cable to connect to a PC. Yes, instead of Davory you can use WinHex Specialist. | ||
| W. Spiegl Username: ws Registered: N/A |
A card reader is simply a hardware where you plug in your SD card (or SDHC or CF or... - depending on which systems it supports) and connect it with the computer via usb cable. Then you can read the files from the SD card ("which is something like a hard drive") on your computer. Readers are not very expensive - they should support several types of cards and SDHC (SD with more than 2 GB). Standard card readers are not forensic, as they have no write protection, but as windows does not create a trash file / directory there this is not absolutely dramatic. Maybe in some bad cases - but for these cases you can run Linux tools, e.g. Guymager. To read files from celular phones (mobile phones - german: Handy) there is often a software to connect the phone with the pc - sometimes you need no software. Often even to read out messages, phone numbers, contacts and so on. But in some cases (e.g. for SMS) you need special software and special (may be write protected) cables. But this software is very expensive (up to several thousand Dollars). The SIM card itself is not supported by standard card readers. But if I remember right there exist special card readers for such cards - but not if they are locked. | ||

I have a Kodak Z1275 digital camera. I recently returned from a 2 week vacation Alaska and while there I accidentally deleted some 500+ pictures. Kodak suggested I contact you. I read thru Davory and it does not seem to be large enough for my lost pictures. They are on a SD HC 4gb memory card which was immediately removed when the delete process on the camera was completed. I could not shut off the camera once it started deleting the pictures. It has not been written over. My PC knowledge is limited but I can follow software instructions fairly well. I operate on Windows XP. Can you save my trip for me? Thank you. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann Username: admin Registered: 1-2001 |
> I read thru Davory and it does not seem to be large > enough for my lost pictures. I really don't understand this statement and in what sense the software could be "large enough". Please just give it a try. You start Davory, open the card reader that contains the memory card, and try one or both of the recovery methods that are offered. | ||
| JoAnn Cohen Username: oakrungranny Registered: N/A |
Perhaps I misunderstood when I read 200 kb. I will give Davory a try and hope for success. Thank you again. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann Username: admin Registered: 1-2001 |
The freely available evaluation version of Davory is limited in that it will truncate recovered files at 200 KB, yes. That does not mean that the software is small or big. | ||
| JoAnn Cohen Username: oakrungranny Registered: N/A |
I connected my camera via the USB port and then downloaded Davory but received a message "Missing Administrator privileges on Windows NT/2000/XP". I changed the drive from removable G to removable A and then the camera appeared to be downloading but it showed 0 pictures downloaded. I tried again but keep getting an error message. It appears I have lost my trip pictures. Am I doing something wrong? | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann Username: admin Registered: 1-2001 |
> received a message "Missing Administrator privileges on Windows NT/2000/XP". Please execute Davory with administrator privileges. For that, if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, please right-click the file named "Davory.exe" that came with Davory and select "Run as administrator". Depending on your Windows settings, you may see the file "Davory.exe" only as "Davory", next to an icon with a gray hard disk in front of a blue background. | ||

I operate on Windows XP. I downloaded & got these files: davory.cnt, Davory, Davory.cfg, davory with ? in circle, davory-d-cnt, davory-d, external.dll, file-id, filetype, language, setup. When I chose to run Davory I was asked to select a drive. I chose Drive A but now am getting the message Error #10 accessing Drive A. I put the cable into a different USB port with the same result. Davory.exe has not been an option thus far. I know there is nothing wrong with either of my ports or the cable as I downloaded another disk of pictures just a few days ago. I must be missing something or I am not savvy enough to work this out. Please help. | ||
| Stefan Fleischmann Username: admin Registered: 1-2001 |
I really don't know why you changed the drive letter from G: to A: Perhaps you should change it back. A: does not make much sense to me. I had already told you that might see the file Davory.exe as just Davory (with the standard Windows settings for non-technical users) and how you can still recognize the file. Anyway, under Windows XP you don't need the right-click method mentioned above. You simply need to be logged in to your Windows system as administrator and then execute Davory. Without administrator rights, Davory can't do anything. | ||

It seems I cannot get myself to log on as Administrator. I get to the "User Profiles", then "settings" and I see where HOME1\Administrator is highlighted as well as HOME1\JoAnn the latter being where I must be actually working. I am showing JoAnn\Administrator but not getting the ability to act as Administrator alone so that I can download Davory. I guess I am going to have to contact someone who can either do this for me or has the savvy to take it a step further. I do not want to get myself into trouble. Thanks for your help. I will let you know if I am successful. Again, thanks for your help from a computer dope. | ||

I have an 8GB SD with deleted/lost JPG files. When I attempt to recover them I sometimes get a portion of the file and then the following error; "Cannot read from Sector Cannot read from Sector 67,301 of SD/MMC Card Reader. The media in the drive may have changed." for example when I access it as physical media. When I try accessing it as a logical volume then I get; "Cannot read from Sector 1,746,766 of Drive K:. The parameter is incorrect." This is such a large SD memory card that I wonder if maybe there's a problem with the sector size?? | ||

The sector number is within bounds of a 8 GB drive. You should try another card reader. If this is not helping, the card itself is defective. Also, if you use WinHex you also might try an "alternate disk access method" from the general options. | ||

Using an SDHC reader did the trick! |
