What Happened?
I inserted my Micro SD Card that I use in my DJI Osmo (This was full of images and videos I shot on the beach at Margaritaville over a weekend) into a brand new Android TV Box I got.
This was bad, it ran a format procedure without me knowing and wiped all this data from the card.
What Happened Next?
I tried using a few popular Softwares
- Recuva from Piriform
- I also tried EaseUS
One recovered only 2 or 3 files and it was only partial, so they couldn't be played, while the other was totally useless.
Then I happened to stumble upon a simple tool called - TESTDISK
