| Post subject: | Flash Memory Question |
Long story short, I confused 2 micros SD cards, and I format the wrong card, and then completely filled it with data. By the time I realized, it was obviously too late. My question, is the data that was on there completely gone and been overwritten with the new data? Any way to recover? |

simple theory.. overwritten data can not be recovered... Your case maybe can be recovered but of cource con not be 100%. Depend it is 2 GB. if after format you use already 1 GB. then your chance is just 50%. if you use it until 2 GB. then No HOPE |

Was a 1GB Micro. I did use up the ENTIRE Capacity of the card (unfortunately). Any way to retrieve from any of the boot sectors? |

No, there is no hope. Maybe from your hard drive, where the original data is from..... Janos |

Absolutely no chance if you've filled it up again, 100% sure data is overwritten and gone. |

Might be a selling argument for a new type of memory: OESC Memory: On_error_stretch_capacity Just the question, how the memory should recognise that the user is dum ... Perhaps one should implement a part of Windows Vista software - every time one wants to write or erase something on it, one is asked - "dear, dum user, are you sure about what you intend to do?" One might store huge amounts of data on a 1GB OESC SD card.... *** Sorry, but such an illogical question provokes an appropriate answer ... How should it work - fill up a bottle with water, then empty it, fill it up again with new water - and now there should be still the old water somewhere in the bottle ???? +++ |

In this case data won't be recovered. Good comparison with bottle, falter! |
