UNFORMAT MEMORY CARD

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

Does anybody knows whether it's possible to unformat a memory card (smart media). I haven't used it since the format and I'm using the Flash Path to read the memory at my computer. Any help/info is very much appreciated

If you're desperate and rich, try http://www.datarecovery.demon.co.uk/Smartmedia.htm I see similar sites in australia and canada, try an altavista search on +recover +smartmedia

There's got to be a better solution, I haven't researched this much. For a similar hard disk loss, I'd use powerquests "lost and found", maybe that would work if you could mount your smartmedia on your computer, like via card reader, or USB connection straight from your camera. Smartmedia format is similar to FAT. I bet this is all those data recovery places do anyhow.. :)
