Data recovery

[andyofne]

7 bucks can buy you software to do some basic recovery from removable media. Some other programs cost a lot more.

I'll look at the ones I've got at work, some work a lot better than others.

I just bought the $7 to recover photos off my compact flash card. I was trying to copy files off my camera's memory card onto an older winxp notebook using a usb card reader. I got an error and after that the computer said the card was blank and needed a formatting. The camera said simply "sorry, time to buy a new card".

I downloaded the program and it recovered all the photos though it took a long time.
