The alternate option this program offers is to 'Resume Recovery', which is useful because it saves your place if you didn't get the whole way through the recovery process the first time. The process is fairly quick and, once it has finished, Card Recovery Pro presents you with a list of deleted files available for recovery sorted into file types (JPEG, WAV, etc). Then once the results are in you click again to recover the files. Try the Full Erase or Full Overwrite options with your card.If you're willing to pay the full whack, all you need to do is connect your digital media device with the SD card in it to your computer, open the program, choose your destination folder and applicable drive (in case you have more than one digital media device connected), and click 'Start Scan'.

Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the 'Protected Area' in the memory card. The SD Formatter does not format the 'Protected Area'. The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a 'Protected Area' on the card for the SD standard's security function. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media.

The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. Instead they have developed their own software called SD Formatter, which they recommend for the following reason:

The SD Card Association actually does not recommend using just any formatting utility, including the one provided by the OS.
