Hi there!
My sister went to Brasil and tried to copy all the photos from the CF card to a CD, she thought that she did that but she didn't !
So she deleted all the photos from the CF card and then she continued to take photos with that CF card!

Anyone knows how to recover the deleted photos rom the CF card??!?!??

Please help!!!

Try this link, the program worked for me http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm.

I'm afraid you can't recover all pictures, because the card was used after deleting the files, but you can always try.

You might try to get a copy of Image Rescue from Lexar Media, it says the function Image Recovery recovers lost or deleted image files from your CF card even if the card has been corrupted. Of course whatever images were written over are gone and if it was reformatted (vs deleting all images) they're probably all gone. Found this link on another posting which may help ... http://www.lc-tech.com/photorecovery.htm

I agree with BobbieLee. LC-Technologies is a very good company.

hey there.. i lost a ton of files on my CF card and i used that photorecovery software. it restored all of the files i was missing as well as a bunch from a few weeks ago that i thought i had already removed.

i recommend it. download the demo first to see if u can retreive the pics first before u buy
