32gig CF card appearing as 894mb

October 5th, 2014, 19:18

Compact Flash card seems to be seen as 894mb.
It is supposed to be a 32GB.
Was used normally in Video camera.
Upon transfer to PC ready for editing it has lost it's partition. Now seen as 894mb!!

I wanted to make a Clone to recover data from it with HHD Raw copy tool, but it seems to only be 894mb still.
Any utility out there get a RAW data dump of a Compact Flash. Without removal of NAND chips..
Or is Raw chip and mix data is the next step...

Controller is SM2232T
4 NAND chips 29F64G08CBAAA

Most likely controller's firmware has become corrupt. Not much can be done there. The only feasible solution is data recovery by a very experienced specialist via NAND dump and data reconstruction. This config is not easy to recover due to complexities in how data is recorded.

Now comes the fun of getting the Data Mix right!

SM2232T Simple Enough

Chips off recovery is your only way forward...
