Title: Data could be retrieved from damaged CF Card 記憶
Post by Owlet-nightjar on Oct 27^th, 2004, 9:14am

In early October, I managed to break two or more pins of a Digital Wallet. The pins were left inside the CF Card. :( The card was taken to the service centre. I've got a new card right away. :)

I was told that the chances of rescuing the data in the card were less than 20% .;??? I told the technician that the card was almost full, with images only. Next day, I was told that data in the card had been retrieved, but corrupted. ;??? :-[ I requested them to send me all the rescued files in a CD by post.

After receiving the CD the following day, I found that all files were renamed with the extension ".TIF". ??? I thought they had transfered all the files to TIFF format. Unfortunately, I couldn't view the files
with Photoshop nor the software provided by the Camera. :(

Eventually, I tried renaming the extension from TIF to format that creates by the camera. ?)

;D ;D Lucky me! 95% of images are alright!!!! ?D ;D

I guess the service centre don't know or they don't have the Software to open "RAW" files. They thought all image files can be viewed by changing the extension to a particular format.

Oo..ops, partial chinese title disappeared!!!??? I only amended the "95%" ...etc
