CF Card file recovery
CF Card file recovery
Sorry if this question has been answered before.
My father has just tried to download his CF Card (Kingston 4Gb) and it says "image can not be found - please format card"
Luckily dad has not reformated the card and I have run a "free" recovery program, found the images, but now it want $35.99 to save them.
Anybody know of genuinely free to download software for image recovery ?
Thanks for any advice.

Re: CF Card file recovery
Depending on how much you need to recover (you said 4gig card but not if all of it). I have use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free to recover a few files. It seems to be 2GB limit for the free version so may or may not be of use to you. I don't think many, if any, providers will give unlimited but you never know. Hope it all works out and you can recover our father's files.

Re: CF Card file recovery
I have a Sandisk Rescue Pro program. It was a free mini disc when i bought a memory card (from memory!) many years ago - and have used it when stuck. Only thing is i need a proper card reader - rather than just doing it via the camera - but that didn't cost much from Argos.
So i imagine they most do a download online - but whether there's any restrictions....?

I have used Recuva on a 8G SD card that I accidentally formatted before I saved the pics! (and I needed the pics, they showed damage to my car after a collision).
I used the free version, can't remember if there were any restrictions, I recovered 24 .jpg and .rw2 files (cam was my Lumix TZ70).

On a similar topic, I have unintentionally deleted my photo's off my memory card. Can they be retrieved and how?
Camera is a Canon SLR and a sandisk CF memory card.

I think Recuva works with CF cards too. Check the link to Piriform above.
