I had a SD card that suddenly stopped working in my camera. I would load it into the computer as well and nothing, no data. See this was not good, because the pictures that I took on here were not only pictures on my neice, but also my sister-in-laws college graduation.
In the past, I have used all sorts of tricks to recover data from bad hard drives (i.e. dd, ddrescue, ...) but I have never had to recover data from an SD card.
In my quest to recover these pictures, I found all sorts of software out there to purchase to recover data. I knew that there had to be a open source alternative and I found it, PhotoRec.

These guys actually have some pretty neat software for things that I have done manually in the past.
I was able to recover all the missing files from the SD card.
