Lotem Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hello there! I have found my old SD card 8 gb and want to start recuva, but recuva can't find the directory of the SD card. It does not even find the phone? How to do this? I am very very thankfull for all the help I can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted December 13, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi Lotem. You need to place the SD card directly into a computer and scan it from there. Recuva needs a drive letter to enable to "see" a card or drive. Hope that helps. EDIT: The SD card in a USB adapter would probably work faster than a card slot. And if per chance you're using XP I think 8gb would be too big to be recognised in a card slot although a USB adapter would be OK. Just a thought.

Moderators mta Posted December 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2016 @Dennis, are you referring to the 2gig file/volume size limit for FAT formatted drives?

Queensney Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi OP, you should take out of SD card on the phone and insert it to a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted December 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2016 Hi OP, you should take out of SD card on the phone and insert it to a computer. P.S. Should the phone be rooted on Android if I need to recover lost pics with Recuva? Make your own topic thread please. This one belongs to Lotem.

Lotem Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 DennisD, Thank you so much man! It worked, I bought a usb adapter and it is recovering my files now! Thank you so much for the idea. I am really glad! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted December 14, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2016 @Dennis, are you referring to the 2gig file/volume size limit for FAT formatted drives? Nope. This is the problem the XP built in card readers had (still have) with anything bigger than 4gb. I found out the hard way when my daughters 8gb SD card just tripped out my machine completely every time I inserted it. A fix (hotfix) was provided by Microsoft for this ... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/934428 ... but it never worked. Find that hard to believe don't you. Using a USB card adapter overcame the issue, and was also a zillion times quicker in reading or writing to a card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for the idea. I am really glad! Thanks! Your welcome. I've used a USB card adapter for years, and it's probably one of the cheapest, best solutions I've ever bought.

Moderators mta Posted December 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 15, 2016 learnt something new today, XP has a card reader, 4gig limit error problem thingy. now since I haven't used XP in BLOODY AGES, I'll now try to forget that ageing piece of dying knowledge. I know it'll be in the good hands of yourself, login123, and those other dinosaurs that simply can't let that tried and true OS die a silent death.

Moderators hazelnut Posted December 15, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 15, 2016 dinosaurs??? Hey, I resemble that remark.. !!! Typed this my xp machine which works great still and is locked down. I love it I also like and use Win 7 and Win 10. They are all just operating systems to me, things to keep the old brain cells in training. Pieces of machinery.

login123 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 As the dinosaur sang as he sat down in the La Brea tar pit: ... wait for it ... wait ... "What kind of fuel am I?" The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
