What to do when accidentally delete your photocard before downloading the shots to your harddisk?
This happened yesterday to me. After a moment of fear, I started the searching the Net. I found lot of products, free and commercial, mainly for Windows.
I finally chose PhotoRec, because it is Open Source (GPL), multi-platform (I ran it on Ubuntu Linux), knows about CF cards (the kind of card used by my EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT) and about Canon CR2 RAW format.
They claim it can work on formatted and damaged media also (but I hope I will never have to experiment).
It recovered all my shots.

But if you react fast, and don’t do anything with the media after deleting data from it, the chance to get your files back, isn’t that bad. And if you know, how “deleting” is done, it’s not even surprising *g*

I started using Windows with a late Version of Windows 95 (4.03.1214, Windows 95c, released in the end of August 1996 - USB fixed the third time and still not working *g*). And i quit the Microsoft World about two years ago. Therefore i only was a Windows user for 10 years or so.
