windows file recovery

I am trying to undelete some video files on an SD card but when I type in the command:

winfr d:\dcim\ c:\temp

I get the error message: the mode applied is incompatibile as the source volume is formatted as "exFAT", consider using extensive mode

 

Does anyone know how to do this?

    Hello, I believe the error message is occurring because the SD is formated formatted as exFAT, and the default mode in Winfr (regular mode) does not support recovering files from exFAT volumes. You should use the extensive mode. Try this command:

    winfr d: c:\temp /extensive

     Hope this helps. -Jsquared
