Title: oops... fsck interupted.. any chance of recovery??
Post by: mb0 on June 18, 2012, 12:29:35 PM

so a run of fsck on my microsd card was interrupted, and now it can't be found for mounting etc..(in /dev there is mmcblk0, but no mmcblk0p1 /2 (the partitions) ) is there anything i can do to fix it, or at least recover some files from it???

When booting with the card in, TC does not find it in the mount app. There are some error messages when booting.. i can write up the exact working if it is helpful? (it was lots of generic stuff).

Make a dd dump (backup) of the card, then use tools like testdisk.

if i try to run 'dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/mnt/sda1/file' it errors with;

Code: [Select]

dd: /dev/mmcblk0: Inut/output errorNote /dev/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/mmcblk0p2 (partitions 1+2) should be available, but are not.

Sounds like your card is dead.
When SD cards die, they are totally unrecoverable.
