undelete program for SmartMedia cards

news.rcn.com

Yesterday some idiot didn't approve of a picture I had taken of her at a
July 4th party. While looking at it, she tried to delete it. What she did
was to delete all the pics from the smart media card. The Fuji camera has
both smart media and compact flash cards so I immediately stopped using the
SmartMedia card and switched to start writing to the compact flash card;
She is devastated by this but I suspect not devastated enough to pay for a
program to restore all the pics I took

I now wonder if there is any way of easily undeleting the twenty or so pics
of other people at her party that she deleted?

Obviously you weren't curious enough to use Google.

Well, I would say you got what you deserved. Respect peoples privacy.
It is theirs and not yours. Also asking politely before does help.

what a curious suggestion!!! She was thrilled at being photographed. She
just didn't like that photo. The others were my photos of other people,
not hers.

Didn't that occur to you? If not, why not?

For the others who have posted real suggestions, I had tried PC Inspector
Smart Recovery and it reads each cluster on the card but didn't recognise
anything. Does this mean she accidentally formatted the drive as well as
deleting the photo?

Have now tried all programs, incl demos which recover data from accidentally
formatted drives and ones which allege they work with SmartMedia cards and
none could see anything on this drive.

Hello,

Don't give up the ship, just yet. :p In recently, someone mentioned a program called "WinHex," from X-Ways
Software Technology AG <http://www.x-ways.net>. He claimed, it
"will even recover deleted files that have been re-written over."

A downloadable evaluation version is available, here:

WinHex: Computer Forensics & Data Recovery Software, Hex Editor &
Disk Editor <http://www.x-ways.net/winhex>

Good luck and happy hunting!


Cordially,
John Turco <[email protected]>
