I just got back from a trip to Ireland with my wife. We snapped a lot of photos... and learned a lot of lessons. Mainly that SD cards are not 100% reliable.
Four days in to our trip, the Nikon D40 we used started displaying a message "SD Card may be damaged. Please change card." (or something to that effect).
We were devastated. A little googling left us hopeful that we can recover these no problem with any given photo recovery software.
We got home, I bought a card reader, and tried eight different programs... to no avail. It's like the card won't even mount. I tried reformatting it a couple of times on my macbook... still won't mount.
I spent a good 14 hours yesterday doing my homework on this issue. Tried the mac forums and got no response (kind of surprised given the amount of nerds on there).
Does any one have any other ideas? We're getting to the point where we're willing to send it in and pay the steep price to get the photos back. Maybe someone can suggest a place where we can send it in?
Thanks everyone.
