Memory Card Error: Card Locked! All pictures lost.

[mymman]

After using the 8GB Explore X2 with no problems for a month in my Canon S3 IS, I was greeted with the "Memory Card Error" message today. Unlike many of you, I lost no pictures because, up until today, they have uploaded onto this Windows 7 machine with no problems. I loved this card! But now, as I have read here, the card is not recognized by my computer. I sent a note to support as was suggested. But, what have you done to get the card to work again? I don't need to recover any pictures. I cannot do anything with the card as my computer cannot see it. On the Canon, "Format" is grayed-out and will not function. I guess it thinks it is a locked card (?) Those of you who contacted Support, what did they say?

Hi !

You can use a data recovery software to recover your lost data from memory card. One i have used is Kernel for memory card recovery software that ecovers all possible data from the corrupt or inaccessible memory card. You can find it from http://www.memorycardrecovery.org/

Thanks

Same problem here I have the Eye-Fi Connect X2 4GB and I turned on my Nikon and noticed an error message stating that my card was damaged. I contacted Customer Support and was told I need to update the firmware. But I told the agent I can't access the card, I can't read or write to it and I can't even reformat it. This is the worst $48 I ever spent, I lost all the photos because I wasn't near my PC to upload them. Thanks a lot Eye-Fi.
