The other week I received a SD memory card on which chkdsk was automatically run. Chkdsk turned all JPEGs into .CHK files. When Chkdsk removes certain files from the file system, it saves the content of the clusters that belong to the file in .CHK files. They are typically written to a folder called ‘FOUND.000’.

Stellar offers a wide variety of data recovery related software and services. NEW! I now offer an alternative for Stellar: DiskTuna JPEG Repair Software. JPG files can become… Read More »
In this post I will try to explain why most tools fail recovering fragmented digital photos and instead recover corrupt JPEG files.

Looking into data loss from SD Cards. In this post I want to look at and discuss some cases that came to me because I offer a JPEG Repair Service.

We have however specialized software to recover deleted videos from memory cards (MP4, MOV, MPEG, AVI). This is too funny to ignore! The message is in Dutch, but what he says is: Deleted you… Read More »
