Bring Dead Photos Back to Life
Most folks who purchase a digital camera suddenly feel like pro photographers. And anyone who begins amassing large libraries of photographs on a 4GB sandisk card develops the potential to press just one wrong button- and blast all those photos to the graveyard in a master stroke.
Can I hear many of you howling in assent?
No fret. In this age, deleting something doesn’t imply they’re gone for good. After you nuke a pile of photos from our camera, sit still and get your pulse under control. There are now numerous ways of recovering your lost jpegs. Getting a heart attack isn’t one of them.
Visit download.com and you’ll find a host of software that can do the job. However, one of the best is Diskinternals Flash Recovery. Check it out at www.diskinternals.com. After you snag it, you’ll have a file called “Flash_recovery.exe” This little baby saved gigabytes of pix I nuked on my Canon EOS 1D.
Deploy the default installation settings. Click “next” in all windows of the wizard and you’re good to go.
Let’s begin reanimating dead photos! Run the program and a window pops all storage media available. Let’s say we choose the one marked “D:”. Select its name and click “Options”. From the drop down menu, push “Full Drive Scan”. You can ignore the other options like “Create Recovery Snapshot” for the meantime.
The proggy does everything automatically. Before you know it, your photos are back and prancing across that lovely Canon EOS screen.
Caveat: If you want to unlock Diskinternal’s ability to save recovered photos, you’ll have to register. This gets you lifetime technical support and free upgrades. It’s a small price for those months of drunken photos you took at the last stag party!

There are a lot of free internet tools on the net that can do the same, even some opensource tools. No need to spent money on recovery software.

That’s really useful… I wish I had known that about 6 months ago when i had deleted hundreds from my camera. I’m guessing they’re not still going to be on there somewhere after all this time…
