Undeleting Digital Photo Files from Removable Media
Digital Picture Recovery just saved my ass. My 512 Meg SD card was erased (Delete All Files) by my nephew, causing us to lose the last week of my Mother-in-law's trip to the states. OMG. Seriously.
Yes, I know how FAT works, yes I tried a number of tools, but this wasn't a matter of ?eleted files, these were orphaned. I tried 3 different undeletes, paying for 1, all without success. Each of the failures could find only 4 files, and there were 373 missing files. Also, the failed programs took seconds to search, which wasn't a comforting sign. At least lie to me and take some time, eh?
However, Digital Picture Recovery searched for 15 minutes and found all 373 files, as well as a dozen from literally months ago.
Fan-freaking-awesome. Saved. Whew.
UPDATE: Forgot, here's a few of the saved pics. My M-in-law from Zim is visiting our home for the first time.
