can fdisk recovery my CF?

[w1k]

hello, yes, its true - i using my CF card in digital-camera and i created partition there for SDX-SIDE II..

 

today my cf stops work on my camera, and i cant connect/read data on PC - dead card..

 

i try read it on atari.. and works..

 

so..

can i in FDISK/FORMAT setup card for basic use? delete, format, or other? then i want format it on PC/camera

i deleted all partitions.. but card still dead :/

 

edit: 15:06..

i create full 16gb APT.. save partition.. voila - WINDOWS see that card.. then i tried format, maybe 7x and succes..

 

so for phorographers using CF cards - if you cant read card on PC, or CAMERA, buy SIDE II

With no partitions and no formatting you cannot get a drive letter in My Computer. Boot to a Linux based Live CD like Parted Magic and partition + format the CF card there using GParted.

I've had this happen a few times with Cisco 64MB and 128MB CF cards. It doesn't read anymore on the PC card reader, but works on the Side II?

 

*Open a CMD and type "compmgmt.msc"

*Under 'Storage' click on 'Disk Management'

 

Does is show up there?

 

If you have another CF card does it work on the PC?

 

Sometimes pocket lint or dust gets in the pins, or worse a pin in the reader gets bent. In case of the latter, http://www.bentcardpins.com/fixityourself.html
