The next option depends upon that error message, "Failed to scan the following drives: E:: Invalid drive size". OK, Recuva is out of the picture for a while, and no worries about making that back up Image at this stage as I only needed to know if you had the space somewhere for a back up Image, which you haven't confirmed by the way. ![]() If a no-go, we'll move to the next option.Īlso confirm as to whether you have the space to make a back up Image of the card, and I'll link you to a small, free program which can do that. I have a feeling you may not get past the error you mention above, but try that first, and then post back how you get on.

So first we'll try scanning for the files with software which has the ability to scan a raw file system, and the first program to try is Recuva. All your files should still be there, but Windows can no longer see them. The card is recognized by Windows as raw, which most probably means it's simply the initial bootsectors of the card which have been damaged, and the details of the file system, and the files it contains, is lost.

I'll work my way through them with you one by one.įirst though, because some of the latter options entail writing to the card, do you have the disk space available to make a back up "Image" file of it? Being an 8GB card, you would need a least 8GB of disk space to "Image" it. ![]() Family pictures are important, and there are a few options available to try get them back.
