  • T2i card read error… can I recover my data?

    Posted by Edward Calabig on August 10, 2011 at 11:03 pm

    I’m on a shoot and just got this on my Transcend card. Can I still get my shots I took when I get to a computer? What can I do?

    Thanks

    you got me worried i use transcend cards all the time.
    what ever you do, do not format it!

    there is a way to get SOME files back, recovery programs are out there, just google.

    they are usually for crashed hard drives but i sure the memory card will work. if not get a USB/SD card reader and try like that.

    keep us updated mate.

    If you’re working on a windows machine you could try the free Recuva by Piriform (https://www.recuva.com). We had some luck with it.
