[north187]

hi, i was wondering if anyone could help me, iv accidentaly pressed format memory card on my digi camera not realising what was going to happen, and iv wiped every photo i had... needless to say im devestated but someone has jus said to me there is a program along the lines of data recovery that will possibly get my pics back does anyone no anything about the program, how i do it or where i get it from and what are the chances of getting my pics back any help would be hugely appreciated! cheers lads

[Flipper_al]

Recuva

[north187]

any particular version mate or jus the latest one? cheers for the reply have you used the program yourself mate?

[Flipper_al]

Just download it from filehippo, and yes i have used it its very good

[north187]

al iv downloaded and put my memory card into my comp, but its scanned and says its found no files is there any reason this may be?

[Flipper_al]

Did you enable deep scan...?
Did you select all files from the first menu instead of just pictures...?

[north187]

hi mate i did enable deep scan but there was no all files option you either had to select pics, docs, etc etc?

[Flipper_al]

Last option
OTHER
show all files

[WindKnot]

Just a thought but are you selecting the correct drive to scan?

You will need to select the drive letter allocated to your card, it should be the one that has just connected.

[Flipper_al]

lol i had thought of that, just didn't want to say....;)

[north187]

hi lads, yeah im defonately selecting the right one and al i went back in and selected other but still no files found, iv downloaded another program and same thing no data found! i went into jessops earlier and the bloke in there said if it had been formatted there is no way of getting the pics back he said if i had just deleted them i could but as i formatted the card they are gone for good however the internet says different i just cant seem to get anywhere with these programs!

to recover lost/deleted/files there is a program but it is not free. I think it is for professional use.

just google data recovery.

[north187]

will the program you have to pay for do anything more than the free programs tho because iv downloaded a couple of the free programs with no success i dont want too pay for something that is not going too work!

Try 'PC Inspector - Smart Recovery'....do a search for it.

I had a similar problem and i got mine back.
I'm pretty sure it's that one or i've got another one installed which i can tell you.
One found them the other didn't..I'm pretty sure it's the one above that found them.

[north187]

every time i try and download the smart recovery one sly when i try an open it i get the message... run time error 339, component gif89.dll or one of its dependenciesnot correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid! any ideas?

Hello North i recently went on a dlslr course after buying a new camera and one of the last things the teacher told us, was to format the memory cards every now and then, rather than just deleting our pictures. Apparently it prolongs the life span of the card as it completle wipes all data off the card where as deleted pictures/ files can be recovered........i think the bloke in jessops has told you right mate....dont think your going to beable to recover them unfortunatly

Ive used this program and found it OK and easy to use too, its free and can be downloaded from the the PC Inspector site at w ww.pcinspector.de/ its a German site but there is an ENGLISH version page, just click the 'EN' link at the upper top left of the home page.

If the mods allow it heres the direct link to the English page (http://www.pcinspector.de/Default.htm?language=1)

Couple of questions
How did you format the card, was it in the camera or did you format it from a pc
If the card was in the camera, which camera do you have

[winkler]

As far as i'm aware, formatting a card is the equivalent of a single pass erase, so data is recoverable.
The following is from Sandisk:

For functional memory cards and flash drives
If your memory card or flash drive is still functional, you can try using a data recovery program. There is a high probability that your data can be recovered after you get an error while using the card, accidentally format it or delete files.

SanDisk recommends using Rescue Pro and Rescue Pro Deluxe developed and sold by LC Technology. LC Technology specializes in SanDisk products and these programs are very reasonably priced.

www.lc-tech.com

You can download a demo version of Rescue Pro and Rescue Pro Deluxe. These demo versions will show you what files can be recovered and provide a preview of the files for some common picture file types. The demo versions will require purchase of a license key to enable the feature to save the files. This is an excellent way to see if the program will work before you purchase and LC Technologies is readily available to assist you with this program.

Here is a link to download LC Technology Rescue Pro Demos.

After you recover your data, you can reformat your memory card or flash drive and use it again.


Good luck!

Couple of questions
How did you format the card, was it in the camera or did you format it from a pc
If the card was in the camera, which camera do you have

Hi al the card was formatted whilst in the camera i went into settings and where it said format i accidentaly pressed ok and the camera is a canon powershot a480...

[Flipper_al]

Ok have had a play around my Canon S5is, took some shoots, then formatted the card with the camera software, downloaded Easeus Data Recovery from a torrent site and was able to restore the files, also looks like RescurePro Deluxe will do it as well, but need to test it full

iv also tried with easues and so many others with little joy i think im doing it right by simply putting the card into the slot in my laptop? i jus cant seem to recover them no matter what program i try i dont no if iv done something that is just irrreversable but its not looking good!

[Flipper_al]

I did mine with the card in the camera

[Flipper_al]

Ok had another play this morning with a Sony DSC camera, Sdcard had 80 pics on it, saved the pics to my PC, formatted the card using the camera built in format utility, then using Easeus data recovery in RAW format i was able to recover all the pics

[north187]

I did mine with the card in the camera

i dont understand how you can do it with the card in the camera? when you open up the data rcovery software where do you ask it to search because obviously when u jus plug in the card to the comp there is a removable storage option to search but not if the card is in the camera attached via a usb!

[Flipper_al]

You will need to install the software that came with the camera onto the Pc, that way Windows sees the sdcard as a removable storage device
