Trying to rescue data from a bad SD card

[Damien Hull]

That's my problem. I can't use "dd" cause the device isn't there. I think the system tries to create /dev/sdb but dd can't access it.

If the *device* is seen, you can try creating an image with dd or 
dd_rescue. Then you can run testdisk against the disk image.
