CF card failure
It was overdue, but I had a CF card failure. True to Murphy's law, the
files were experimental, and would have taken hours to repeat. Fortunately, I did a recovery using OnTrack and all went well. Just wanted to pass the word that I found the program easy to use, and worked well. I used the home edition. I have no connection with this company except as a customer. http://www.krollontrack.com/data-recovery/recovery-software/windows/ -- PeterN |

I did not want to spend hours loking for a free program that might or might not solve my problem. The who process toook under 15 min, including learning how to use the program. If you believe that to be expensive, I feel sorry for you. -- PeterN |

I have no connection with this company except as a customer. http://www.krollontrack.com/data-recovery/recovery-software/windows/ A few years ago, a defective PC accidentally erased 40 valuable wedding pictures from my SD card. I used a free program, the name of which escapes me now, and recovered 38 of the 40 photos. The 2 lost pix were of the building's exterior, which I easily reshot. At one time, SanDisk packed their recovery program in the SD card packages, but they no longer do so. The important thing, when images are lost, is to immediately (lock and) put aside the card, avoiding any further use of it. Further use could write over the needed images. Mort |

Now that all the images have been recovered, that will no longer be used. -- PeterN |

But I've used PC Inspector successfully for others several times - both the general file recovery program and the dedicated photo receovery tool. They are separate programs and both are completely free. http://www.pcinspector.de/Default.htm?language=1 |

I doubt if anyone except the poster would have remembered the name of any app that far back. I'm sure I read it, but what was it? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
