I have an SD card and when I plug it in to my desktop (which is openSUSE 11.3), it shows up in Dolphin and shows all folders and files. however when i try to view or copy a file(either by double clicking or using "cp" command) it throws an error:
Code:
cp: reading `/media/disk/DCIM/100OLYMP/P1010202.JPG': Input/output error
how I can recover these files? Any tools I can use in OpenSUSE?
I don't know the format of these old floppie disks, ive tried
Code:
PC8-248suse:~ # file -s /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0: ERROR: cannot read `/dev/fd0' (Input/output error)
how i can go about reading this data?
I am wondering if it would be possible to format an 8g SDHC card in a way that it will be able to be written to and read by an SD reader?
Reading about SDHC vs SD suggests that the only difference is the block/cluster/byte configurations. Is that true?
Could I format the 8g FAT32 SDHC with gparted to a 1g FAT16 partition with the rest of the space left un-formatted so an SD reader could handle it?
I am trying to recover some photos from my 8GB flash card that decided to crap out. I keep getting SDA read capacity failed. Is there a way I can force the kernel into saying that the read capacity is 8GB so I can run ddrescue or something over it to recover the data?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI was testing a bug in F12+Acer Aspire One and its 'suspend' feature (you can probably find the thread) and I ended with my SDHC card messed up. I formatted it as ext2 (or ext3, don't remember exactly) and apparently its superblock got corrupted. For one thing there is a single file I want to recover from the card (I don't mind formatting it afterwards). I am no expert using e2fsck or fsck, that's why I am asking here. In addition I used the "dd" command to create a backup of the drive in a file (so I can start tinkering with it). What is the best course of action to recover my files? Either from the card or from the image?

After getting a SDHC-compatible reader i found it seems there is no part. table on the card and no fdisk(1), badblocks(1) can read that card.
Seems they will wait forever to get a part table.

So basically I have an SD Card that I use with primarily with my Wii. This morning I decided to install the HomeBrew Channel on my Wii (I don't think it matters if you know what this is). While trying to run an application my Wii froze, and since then my SD Card has been unreadable, my Wii however is fine.
I assumed I could just pop this card into a computer and format it. There is nothing on the card I need to recover. When I stuck the card into my room mate's computer running Windows (she's the only one who has a SD card slot) Windows Explorer freezes, and remains frozen until I remove the card. I tried using the Disk Management to format the card, but it also freezes upon inserting it.
The only idea I could come up with is booting to my Ubuntu disc on my room mates computer, in the mode that lets me run Ubuntu right off the CD-ROM, and try to format it here. When I insert the card an item called 'SD/MMC Drive' appears but there's no option to format when I right click on it.
Now my linux is a bit rusty, but I thought I could do it by typing "sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -v /dev/sda1". The status seems to indicate it was successful, but the issue still persists.
Since I've upgraded to Lucid RC1, when I insert my SD Card it mounts as read-only. The write-protected switched isn't on and my card isn't corrupt. I've tried chmod and chown to no avail.Does anyone know a work around so that I'm able to write to my SD Card?

With a Netbook that runs Kubuntu 10.04 i have always stored by regular files on a SD card. For ease I have used symbolic links to save and retrive data from the card such as a Documents folder. After a power crash my SD card which has always been read/write has changed to read only. The links do not work and if I try to make a new link "Read-only file system" is the error.
I have tried chmod with the same error message. Device is owned by me not root. Saving to the device also returns the same error message.
I have looked at a couple of similar streams but neither has any final resolution.
changing the SD card back to read/write?
I am new to linux at driver level. I want to read/write at specified memory location in microSD card in linux. I do not want to used SD card with any file system. How to do that. My linux distribution is Fedora13.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got some trouble trying to format a SD card. I tried to format it in the GUI and the terminal, but couldn't make it. I couldn't even copy or move any file to the directory in the SD card, even logged as root.
It's a SD card from a digital camera. When I insert it in the camera, it says the card is blocked, so that it's not possible to take any picture.
I tried using "fdisk" to set a new fyle system in it, and tried "mkdosfs" trying to format it under the current file system.
The card in question is a PC Card (PCMCIA) 16Bit Intel Series 2 Flash Memory Card (2MB) and I want to be able to read from and write to the card. I've rebuilt latest stable kernel (2.6.37.2) with all the PCMCIA options turned on or built as modules. I've got an SRAM card, a CompactFlash Card (in a CF to PC-Card adapter) and the Linear Flash card to try, the SRAM card I'm not expecting greatness from, but hoping to prove that the slot works (it registers, but doesn't get much reported from lspcmcia). The CF card in the adapter works. I'm expecting to see a block device in /dev but nothing appears lspci:

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to reformat a 16GB MicroSD card in my camera when the battery died mid-way. After that, any time I try to read the card in my camera, it gives me a "Card Error" and does not allow me to reformat it in my camera.
So, I thought I would plug the camera in to the laptop with it set to host the card as media when plugged in as USB, in an attempt to fix the formatting issue.
However, when I plug it in to my linux machine, it does not register as a device (e.g., /dev/sda) due to some errors, therefore I cannot reformat it. Essentially, I think I need to fix the partition table but I'm not sure how to when it doesn't register as a device. code...

i have a little experience with ubuntu but i have had bugs that are not resolvable at this time in ubuntu. so instead of giving wild bill back my pc i am looking for a new distro. my concerns with ubuntu revolve around acpi. no fan control and high temp. the 2nd problem that is almost overlookable is the ata1 softreset error. it usually is no problem but occasionally have to do manual fsck to fix. so heres my laptop specs. toshiba a305d-s6848. amd turion x2 ati x1250 integrated. 3gb ram. 500gb hd vista and ubuntu 9.04 dual boot grub with 100gb ubuntu and the rest vista. so q1= what suse version would be best?
q2= is suse's acpi better? ubuntu runs all features but fan control
q3= is suse as easy to install? or harder
q4= ati graphics i know for my card went to legacy what version still has the ati drivers for my card
q5= is suse easier or harder to work with and get everything working.
i know no linux is or opsys is perfect. im just looking for one that is stable and works the pc correctly. i know its a big thing to ask. i know no one can tell me that. but just looking for suggestions. im thinking of downloading suse and does all the downloads support live sessions.
I would like to know if is there a good software for linux to recover files from SD/MMC memory cards, USB Flash memory, NTFS and FAT16/32 Partitions
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to debug a game with gdb. The game runs in fullscreen and causes a segmentation fault and then gives control back to gdb. However, since the game is in fullscreen, the gdb session can't be viewed. So, at this point I did CTRL-ALT-F6 which blanks the screen and gives me a console to login with. I do this and determine the PID of the game process and kill it. This should remove the x-window the game was using and leave the gdb session on my gnome-terminal. I then exit the console login, which leaves me at a console login prompt.
Now is the problem. How do I return back to my gnome-terminal gdb session, ie, how do I recover from my console login? Via email, somebody informed me that CTRL-ALT-F9 works for him, but it does not for me. In fact, I've tried CTRL-ALT-<every function key> and nothing works for me. The only thing for me to do at this point is to kill the power.
(BTW, the game must be debugged in fullscreen because the problem goes away when not in fullscreen.)
I'm running openSUSE 11.3 32-bit.
I have a huge problem with my file server (OpenSuse 11.3 - 64bit, kernel-2.6.34.7-0.7-default). I've just installed an Intel SASUC8I card, connected 3 of the 7 Samsung 2TB drives I have to it and after about one hour, it dropped 2 of the disks. I've managed to trace the problem to the card BIOS, which I've replaced with the non-raid edition, so it should now work fine with the kernel raid now. The problem is that I can't find a way to "un-fail" these 2 disks. I'm more than positive, that these drives are just fine, only the controller was misbehaving. The dropout also couldn't have created any data inconsistency either, since the 2 drives dropped out virtually at the same time and there was no writing being done at the time. I've tried add/re-add, I get either mdadm: cannot get array info for /dev/md0 or mdadm: add new device failed for /dev/sdi1 as 7:
Invalid argument (depending on the raid being run or being stopped, in either case, mdstat reports it to be inactive)
For a normal or forced assemble, I get mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 5 drives and 1 spare - not enough to start the array.I've been googleing like crazy, also trying to get info from mdadm's help and man, but nothing seems to deal with such a freak accident. An other interesting thing is, that if I reboot the system, mdstat shows md0 as inactive, but lists all the devices with no flags. It's only after a run command, that it changes to the 5 remaining devices, all with (S) flags. Alternatively: does anyone know where device failure info is stored? If I could in some way remove this information from the system (even by reinstalling the OS), I should be able to reassemble the array... Or is it stored in the member drive super-blocks? About 80% of this array's data is backed up, so if all else fails, I can restore most of its content, but I'd much prefer to reassemble this one as a whole, since there was absolutely no chance of data corruption.
I've spent the day developing a JavaScript file when my computer battery went flat and turned off. On reboot I'm shocked to see the file is completely blank. Is there any possible way to recover that file? Firefox cache or anything?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm sure you guys get this a lot, but a few google searches didn't reveal much of anything. I accidentally overwrote Windows and want to know if there's any way to recover the files. I mean, it'd be great if I could recover the whole OS, but that seems unlikely.

I have a laptop with an original linux Suse Enterprise 11 OS, and a Windows 7 installed after, I'm a beginner in Linux and actually I need some disk space, so I gonna free the linux one, so two partitions should be wiped, the ext and the swap, and that will provide enough space for my purpose, my questions is the follow: I'll be using Gparted to format, does not this make any issue or conflict with windows 7? I have a partition of the Suse System Recovery (to conserve of course), if I have formatted the partition where the Suse was installed, are there any risk to lose (crush) other partitions? If I want to install (recover) my Suse after freeing spaces (two disks) using my System Recovery CD, (again ^^) are there any risk to lose (crush) other partitions?
