OT recover "deleted" camera pic from SD card?

[Jim K]

relly hit the wrong button and deleted some pics from an SD card in camera.

Is it same as hard disks where the space will just be marked as "available" until overwritten so in theory pic files could be recovered?

DIY or computer shoppe jobby?

If DIY pointers to software etc much appreciated

Cheers

The space they occupy is just marked as available, so unless you write over it they will still be there.

Should be easy, just don't touch the card in the mean time. Try downloading a copy of "Recuva".

copy of "Recuva".

Yup Piriform Recuva has done this several times for me in the past:

it used to be ok in XP IIRC

I found it works in Win7 as long as you tear your hair out for ten minutes before remembering to run it as admin.

Thanks. I'll try and remember that, or remember to boot to xp

I'll go along with what the others are saying without specifically knowing the programs they are mentioning. I did worse than that some

5 years ago in that I had an SD card in the USB port and did a reformat or something similar and the card got included.

I got a recommendation for Zero Assumption Recovery

did lose a small percentage but not the important ones fortunately. I'm not absolutely sure quite what a format does, but this program pulled nearly all the bits and pieces together.
