So I have tried a few programs but none have worked.

Does anyone have a method to recover a formatted card?

The only one that has worked flowlessly for me in my attempt to recover an unreadable 1TB media drive is GetDataBack from Runtime software. Here is the link to their page:

Data Recovery Software - Hard Drive Recovery - RAID Recovery - Runtime Software (http://www.runtime.org/)

Because of the size of the drive and the number of files, it took 15/20 hours to process but I was able to recover every single file on that drive.

Charles, what programs have you tried? It might be helpful for everyone to know what works and what doesn't.

I have tried

EASEUS data recovery wizard pro, File rescue pro, O&O media recovery, and Stellar Pheonix windows data recovery. No help on any.
