“I did a quick search and found a couple threads on this subject. but I didn’t want to resurrect a 3 year old thread. I have a HPX-170 and was using a E series 64 gig P2 card. The card was formatted entirely instead of erasing a few of the files that were meant to be deleted. After the mistake was done, I told the camera operator not to do anything else with the card. So it was not rewritten on. Would trying to find software to do it work as well?”
“Can i recover data off a E series p2 card after its been formatted, it was formatted in a Panasonic AG-HVX200, It’s video I would like to get back so cost is not a problem.”
