Pictures Lost From Ibm Microdrive

The size of storage devices seems to be reducing with every new one launched in the market

. As the storage devices become smaller the capacity of the same increase. This makes it easier for storing images, videos etc. The IBM Microdrive, is basically a 1-inch hard disk which fits into CompactFlash (CF) Type II card slot. It is used in cameras and other storage devices. In 2003, IBM Microdrive was bought over by Hitachi and became known as the Hitachi Microdrive. This memory card was not without problems. Infact the problems faced by it are the same as those faced by any other memory card. Where there is such intricate technology involved, problems are bound ho occur. These problems generally lead to picture deletion. The deleted pictures can be recovered using a Deleted picture recovery software.

Imagine, you have just taken pictures on your wedding anniversary. You connect the Microdrive to the computer and try to upload pictures. At this point you get a message saying that the pictures on the card are inaccessible.

Cause:

There could be many causes for this, the most prominent ones of course are:

1.You pulled out the memory card while the images were being written to it. This causes incomplete writing and leaves you pictures inaccessible.

2.You switched of the camera while the pictures were being written to the card. This again causes incomplete writing.

3.When the memory card is full, too much deleting and re-taking of the images is another cause. This sometimes causes over-writing and at still other times it just crashes the card's hard drive.

4.Another common cause is due to re-formatting the memory card. This deletes all the pictures stored on the card.

Solution:

Whatever be the cause, you need a solution to resolve this problem. The solution is to use a Picture recovery software and recover deleted pictures. The software makes use of the fact that when pictures are either deleted or inaccessible to us, they are still stored on the file system of the hard disk. This enables softwares to scan the hard disk and recover lost pictures.

Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery is one such software which can be used to Recover lost photos. The software has a simple, easy-to-use GUI which enables users to recover pictures themselves rather than run to any professional to get the job done. It supports JPEG, AVI, GIF, TIFF MIDI etc, so it can recover any kind of lost pictures, videos etc.
