Okie

I did TestDisk one but after the steps, I did not see any partitions on my SD card. What now?

Okie Sorry I couldn't get you can you please elaborate. Are you talking about "Step 4: Recover Data using TestDisk Utility" on "Select the Partition to Undelete Files" you cannot see any partitions ? If that is the case try "Part #2: Fix Your Storage Medium " perform "Step 1: Fix Storage Medium using TestDisk" you should now be able to see the partition. Refer the blog article here.

Hey, Thank you very much for this tutorial on recovering data, it has recovered the files on my SD card but there’s one problem I have. I found my files after using PhotoRec on Step 3, but I tried using TestDisk on Step 4 but it said “no partitions found.” I don’t know what to do now, should I just skip TestDisk altogether and format the SD card, or is there anything else I should do? Can you help me out?

andyknowsall_aka If you have found all your files you can skip recovery using TestDisk. If it shows no partition found then it could mean either the partition type is selected incorrectly or the entire partition table has been corrupted. In case of partition table corruption you can try partition recovery step.
