However, the success of RAW file recovery from the corrupted CF card depends on the severity of the corruption, the condition of the card, and how much overwriting has taken place.<\/p><p>Once you know that your CF card is corrupted, don&rsquo;t store new files on it, as they will overwrite the previous data still present on the CF card. Stop using the corrupted CF card until you have recovered your files. <a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"methods-to-recover-raw-files-from-a-corrupted-cf-card\">Methods to Recover RAW Files from a Corrupted CF Card<\/h2><p>Before fixing your corrupted CF card, you must recover lost or deleted RAW files to avoid permanent data loss. There are three ways to recover RAW photos from CF cards: using Backup, Windows File Recovery, or professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/photo-recovery-software.php\">Photo Recovery software<\/a>. Let&rsquo;s understand each method one by one.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recover RAW Files from Backup<\/h3><p>If you have backed up your CF card data on your computer, an external drive, or Cloud, use that backup to restore the deleted files.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Windows File Recovery Tool<\/h3><p>Microsoft&rsquo;s Windows File Recovery tool provided uses command-line instructions for retrieving lost or deleted RAW files from CF cards, hard drives, etc.<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s how to recover CF card data:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <strong>Microsoft Store<\/strong>, download the <strong>Windows File Recovery<\/strong> tool on your Windows computer, and install it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect your <strong>CF card<\/strong> to the computer using a card reader.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type <strong>CMD<\/strong> in the Windows search bar, and click <strong>Run as Administrator<\/strong> to launch it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, use the following command: <strong><em>Winfr F: E: \/extensive \/n *.jpg<\/em><\/strong>. Here, F is the drive letter of the CF card, and E is the drive letter of the storage drive or partition where you want to save the recovered files.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>The main challenge while using the Windows File Recovery tool is its command-line interface, which is not user-friendly. Moreover, this tool supports only limited file formats, so it&rsquo;s best to use professional photo recovery software for compact flash card recovery of RAW files.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-file-recovery.png\" alt=\"windows file recovery\" class=\"wp-image-176019 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-file-recovery.png 650w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-file-recovery-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/windows-file-recovery-150x96.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-recover-raw-photos-from-cf-card\">Use Professional Photo Recovery Software<\/h3><p>Use professional CF card recovery software like Stellar Photo Recovery to recover RAW photos and other media files lost from a corrupted CF card.
