Recovering Digital Images From SM Card

[BearCat]

Congrats
I'm glad you found it, so you can be "safe" around the wife

The problem you mentioned, I have seen some times, while recoverirg hard-drives, when the programs
have problems with crosslinked files and such.

The free programs, coming from the one I mentioned has beem able to fix like 90% of "my" problems.
But there are better ones, but they cost some money,
like "GetDataBack", "R-Studio" and "Active UNDELETE", the last one beeing my favorite at my work.

Will these work with Removable Media Cards?? I'll have ago with the DEMO Versions...

I did a little test. I took a CF card with 3 folders, about 64 jpgs and several Canon raw pics, formatted the card in my PC, then went to a friend who has the latest Recover My Files, stuck the card in a Lexar card reader, and tried our luck!

It seemed to work flawlessly. After locating recoverable files and before saving them you have to specify where to save and what to save. The "what to save" involves individual checkboxes and I ran out of enthusiasm after about 20. All 20 were recovered apparently perfectly, jpg and raw alike.

Perhaps I was lucky but I now know where I'll be going if I mess up my card - hope this is helpful.
