A friend borrowed my digital camera which uses xD memory card, I told him that I didn't have time to copy over my own pictures from the card, but when I got the camera back he had deleted everything on the card. Does anyone know of a good, safe and hopefully free way of restoring the pictures?

I cant recommend one but I know its possible. Sorry.

Besides, if any of them contained nudity, you can bet they will be posted on the Internet shortly.

Try HandyRecovery ( http://www.handyrecovery.com/ )

Thanks for the tip Droopy.
It is shareware and is fully functional, but can only restore 1 file per day, so that could take some time, if it really does work ;)

GeoTrail,

Download a copy of Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery from:

http://www.z-a-recovery.com/digital-image-recovery.htm

The program is shareware, but the digital image recovery functions are free.

Regards,
Eric

Droopy, I found a freeware version of HandyRecovery and that worked pefectly. Got all but 3 pictures back. The three that I didn't restore seemed to work, the filesize and name seemed ok, but I can't open the images.

Anyways, it's just three of them and I can't remember what they wer're, so I'm happy with the result.

Thanks again :)

One day when you least expect it, you'll remember what they are and
yell "oh crap!" :twisted:

Hehehehe yeah that might happen.
But when that day comes, it'll be too late, then all the sectors will be overwritten and all data lost. Oh well, shait happens :lol:
