foxy lady Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I thought she said she'd formatted it several times....missed that post...sorry.. I've done both. I went to Donington and Glastonbury and completely filled the card both times. None of that has reappeared. The card has been formatted around 20 times. When I took it in there were about 50 unopenable photos on the media and initially these proved non recoverable. However after running some so called special software overnight the card in now full with 740 photographs, of which perhaps half a dozen are scrambled including a couple from last weekend. Well worth a bottle of Chardonay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roschach Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've heard this can happen. Especially with older memory cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC Brigade Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I am trying to imagine who would buy an old digital camera without a memory card Why would you expect one to come with it? 1GB Memory Cards are £2 on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I had a thought about this Foxy are you formating the card in the camera or on your pc ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quisquose Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The images are on your memory card so why should that stop you selling you cameras, just take the memory card out likewise with your computer if it worries you take out the hard drive before you dump it. I smashed my hard drive to bits with a hammer, a but OTT I know but no one will be reading that again. . I recall listening to a radio programme many years ago about a forensics guy, who did work for the police and HMRC, who could recover all sorts of stuff from "destroyed" hard drives. This included smashed with a hammer. This is when I had my "foxy lady eureka moment" and realised that if you don't want data to be discovered, probably best not have it on storage media in the first place. Paul Gadd could have learnt a valuable lesson if he listened to this programme, but then again he didn't even try to hide his incriminating evidence did he.
