Hello all,

I had my sister in law go to a gig the other night and has, somehow some way, managed to wipe an SD card of all the pictures etc. I have put it into my computer to try and recover the information but i just cannot get it to show up as a drive on my computer.

I have a SD/Micro card reader USB adaptor thing which i have put a micro SD into and it came up with the information on it and then i have put the card in question and it will not show up. Disk management seems to show my card reader but no memory in it.

I know how to sort the problem if i can find the card or get it to show up on my computer but i cannot do anything until i get over this hurdle......

I know the people here are always brilliant so i will await your expertise :)

Many thanks
 
Solution
My rule of thumb is that if the SD card does not show up in two different computers, than it is not going to be salvaged.

I would try a different card in the reader just to confirm that the reader is working ok.
