Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery Software

Windows 7 and Vista include a full disk encryption feature, called BitLocker Drive Encryption, that allows you to protect your data by encrypting the entire volumes. The latest version of Bitlocker included in Windows 7 comes ship with an added functionality of encrypting the removable media such as a USB flash drive, memory stick or digital storage media cards like SD cards. But when you encrypt the removable media that is formatted to FAT file system in Windows 7 and try to use in a digital camera or a system using Windows other than Windows 7, you might experience that the media is not accessible. One of the possible ways to solve such problem is to reformat the removable media and restore lost digital files using backup. But when no valid backup is available, you need to use Digital Photo Recovery solutions to effectively restore the lost photos, videos and audios.

To illustrate this, consider that you are using a FAT formatted USB flash drive, memory stick or digital storage media cards like SD card. You encrypt the media using BitLocker Drive Encryption of Windows. The next time, you observe one of the below symptoms:

• You connect the encrypted USB flash drive, memory stick or SD card to a digital camera, a mobile phone or a MP3 player and find that media fails to work
• You connect the encrypted USB flash drive, memory stick or SD card with a Windows Vista or XP based system and observe that you cannot write any data to it. The media shows that there is no free space available and its file system is FAT32

Cause

Windows 7 creates a discovery volume formatted to FAT32 file system on space that is invisible and virtualized in Windows 7. When you connect it a system using Windows other than Windows 7, the system detects FAT32 discovery volume and the original bit locked volume becomes invisible. Thus, system recognizes media with FAT32 file system. Such issues typically occur if the device accessing it requires FAT file system and not FAT32.

Solution

Possible way outs of solving the issue are:

• Use Windows 7 to decrypt the removable media
• Reformat the removable media with FAT file system and restore from backup. If no clean data backup can be accessed, you should use Photo Recovery tools for recovering lost data. These are powerful Digital Photo Recovery tools competent to recover lost files and folders, while maintaining their integrity

The Pentax *istD Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, a 6.1 mega-pixel camera, is smallest and lightest DSLR. It provides Pentax KAF mount, shutter speed of 1/4000sec to 30sec and weighs 550g. To store the pictures in the Pentax *istD DSLR, the user needs to use a Compact Flash (CF) memory card. A CF memory card can be corrupted due to file system corruption or damage, read or write error, malicious software like virus etc. Once the CF memory card is corrupted, the pictures saved in the CF memory card become inaccessible and invisible. For absolute and orderly recovery of the pictures from the corrupted CF memory card, if no backup is available, the user needs to use advanced photo recovery software.

Consider a scenario where a user has taken few pictures from Pentax *istD DSLR with CF memory card as additional storage media. When the user attempts to view the pictures saved in the CF media card, he receives the below error message:

�Memory Card Error�

The user takes out the CF memory card and again inserts in the camera. He encounters the same error message. The main cause of the above error message is that Pentax *istD camera is unable to read any picture stored on the CF memory card. To save new pictures in the media card, the user needs to format the memory card. To format a CF memory card in Pentax *istD camera, the user needs to follow these steps:

� The user needs to select [Format] from the Main Menu.
� He needs to press the four-way controller to display the [Format] screen.
� Finally, the user needs to select [Format] with the four-way controller and click OK.

After the formatting process of a CF card in Pentax *istD camera is completed, all the previously saved pictures from the CF memory card get erased. In such scenarios, if the user needs to recover and restore lost pictures from the CF memory card, then he needs to use effective Picture Recovery application.

A user with a Leica Digilux 3 DSLR camera attempts to download all the pictures from a 128MB SD card. While the transfer process was under progress, the user receives the following error message:

�MEMORY CARD ERROR�

After the above error message appears, the transfer process halts and the pictures saved in the SD memory card become inaccessible. The main cause for the above error message is that the Leica Digilux 3 DSLR is unable to perform any read operation on the pictures stored in the SD memory card. To store new pictures on the SD media card, the user needs to format the memory card. If the memory card gets formatted, all the pictures (including the protected images) in the SD memory card will be erased. However, if the memory card can not be formatted, then the user should consult the nearest service center for Leica.

Note: To stop the formatting in midway, the user needs to press [MENU/SET]. However, stopping the formatting process will not stop the pictures to be deleted from the SD memory card.
