SD cards

[blondegirly]

is there a way of retrieving accidentally deleted photos from one of these. My camera just jammed and i think I deleted all the pictures, including my frined's whose SD card i had just borrowed so am anxious if there is any way of getting it back

[commoner]

...mmm......if you deleted the files by using the cameras Delete button then I would say a definate NO!

If you some how corrupted the card by jamming the thing in the slot then maybe there is something you can do but, nothing I have heard of.................commoner. :-(

Get a copy of Bad Copy pro from

http://www.jufsoft.com/badcopy/

If the files are there it will get them back for you.

Try downloading Zero Assumption or one of the other free programs at http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery_ r.html

One thing. Deleting a file does not delete it. The file is marked as deleted and are written over when the next picture is taken. A deleted file can easily be recovered. A corrupted file is a little harder. The above software will try to recover both. It has worked really well for me on both camera cards and CD's and recovered lots of files.

...confab I am speechless....that program recovered over 120 images that from an apparently empty Compact Disc card. I even formatted the card in the camera first..............thanks for that. I will be more careful what I do with my old cards in future <G> commoner.

Pity they want $40 for the save option key...don't suppose there's a way round it...;-)

[Confab]

$40 is a small price to pay when you've just deleted a priceless photo!

There are lots of free file recovery progs available but none with the support that you get using BadCopy Pro. Just try Googling!!

[blondegirly]

thank you so much :) will try when I get home tonight.

...Agree there Confab...some of my grandkids ARE priceless. I have now got the full version...thanks again...commoner ;-)

There is an alternative to the chargeable version. The programs here are free:

I've used them recently and it saved me a lot of trouble!!!

Do these downloads work for accidentally deleted e-mails too?
I lost all the mail I got from my late sister thanks to a "glitch" and would love to recover them.

[mattfox]

ianess - which email client are you using... Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird etc?

[ianess]

mattfox.....I believe it was Outlook Express but was using it through Incredimail if that makes any sort of sense. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi

Software such as this - http://www.softforall.com/Utilities/FileDisk/R-Mail_Outlook_Express_Recovery_Software09040026.htm - will recover from Outlook Express and software like this - http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/File_Encryption_Utilities/kernel_incrediMail_Recovery_Software.html - will recover from incrediMail.

I haven't tried this software and they are chargeable (although the free demos may give full functionality for a period of time!) but it may also be worth searching on Google for something like "free outlook recovery software" and go through the results!

Hope this helps and good luck!
