Ok there is hope. Due to my persistance of not reformating due to information on the card. I just typed in the 'Found.000' from my sd card in explorer on my pc and I found all the 1500 files with the extension .chk There are known as recovered file fragments. Every single one. So I edited the file extension of a file I knew was an mp3 due to file size and it was recovered. I must find a way, more efficient. but atleast this way I can back everything up and edit extensions as last option
btw program is call extension changer. Hope this helps
