How to: Simple programmes for recovering lost files

Rescue lost snaps on flash cards

Q While on holiday my 256MB Compact Flash showed a ‘Card Error’ after I had taken approximately 182 photos and some video clips. I cannot retrieve any of the images on the card, and my computer will not recognise that a card has been inserted. I sent the card to Fuji Image Recovery but they were unable to retrieve any images either. 

My camera is a Fuji S7000.

A If Fuji was unable to recover anything from the card, it doesn’t look good. However, there are a number of utilities for recovering images from corrupt cards including Photorescue Pro and Photorescue.
