Thanks alot, synn & Triangle. I will go and try that.
However do you know how I can duplicate the raw data of the card before doing anything to it? The card isnt accessible by any system (windows, os x) at the moment.
On OS X: dd bs=512 if=/dev/disk2 of=of=~/Desktop/card.dmg conv=noerror,sync
Caveats:
1: make sure your card is
disk2 by using the
diskutil command.
2: you will need to add the sudo command and type your administrator password
3: dd is a command which can potentially do lots of damage if you mistype, so be extra careful. Read
this article for more background info.
In your applications folder, under utilities, there is an application called "disk utility". Select the unmounted partition in the card and under "file", "new", "disk image from ...", you may be able to achieve the same result with less risk (but I am not sure disk utility will accept to copy an unmounted device or a device with errors).
