The next door neighbours kid has decided to delete all of their photos from their camera. Around 12 months worth.

Yes stupid to leave the camera where the 5 year old can get it
and stupid not to download the photos.

Anyway, searching card recovery, photo recovery is like typing the word porn into google.

Does anybody have any TRIED and TESTED software that they have used in the past?

Thanks

yes, I have used this with 90% success

I believe it is impossible to recover %100 but some is better than nothing
Ive also tried a program called photo recovery with good success as well
but I cant find a web site for that one

OK Cool,

Thanks, That is the first I looked at actually, then another called card rescue.

I will give both a whirl as soon as I get the card.

Cheers

Scan Disk - Rescue Pro is also another good software.

Whatever you do, tell them not to put anything else on the card or insert it into any other camera until you've recovered what you can. (Sounds obvious, but ...)

All aboard the failboat.

PC Inspector and card recovery no good.

Trying RescuePRO now

doesnt sound very promising then

I used it recently to recover a couple of deleted files from a CF card. There were still a few that could not be found however. Worth a shot.

If it's fat/fat32 formatted you might be able to view it on a Win98 PC and use some of the older disk tools. Nortons used to have an undelete app.

It's fat16, diskdigger has been most thorough so far, it found some files but no images.

It turns out that some cameras erase by writing zero's all over the card. I am seeing if their model is one.
