As title really.

Anyone come across an effective recovery program? The only one I have is Sandisk Rescue Pro, which only recues Sandisk data.

Thanks in advance :)

Have you tried it Mark, as I thought it rescued anything :shrug:
 
I use Image Rescue from Lexar. It supports most memory card formats.

HTH
 
I've used rescue pro on a few different formats.
 
It does work on any. I have something a bit more sophisticated but it is an expensive commercial program. The Sandisk software usually works!
 
As far as I know Sandisk Rescue Pro works with other cards just fine. I used it to get the pics of Angkor *** that a friend had managed to lose on an SD card without any problems.

If you've already got the software you've nothing to lose by trying it.

EDIT: I think the swear filters gone over the top here... Angor what (wrong spelling) is in Cambodia. the word it's deleted is W A T

:LOL:

Thanks everyone! I'll give that a try then.

It's actually for my landlady's partner. I'll let him know.

Thanks again (y)
 
do these recovery discs/programmes only recover jpgs and not raw files?
 
from what i remember it should recover anything, its just a 3rd party basic recovery app they give you a link to download now so should in theory work for all files.

its been a while since i had it installed mind.
 
I have used Sandisk Rescue Pro to retrieve data off my hard drive.
A very useful piece of software.
 
if it helps, there is a free one called recuva although i dont find it works as well as the sandisk utility.

Just given this a try on an Olympus branded xD card which I think is manufactured by Samsung. On the card were JPEGs, TIFFs, a raw file (copied from the HDD onto the card) and a small selection of .docs, MP3s just to see what it fopund. Before the test, I ran the data destruction bit of RescuePro to clear the card of all other data. The data recovery part of RescuePro found all the filesthat I had copied onto the card. RescuePro has also worked on an old Viking branded card and some Jenoptiks.

I had a memory card fail when I shot my first wedding recently and the Sandick Recovery Pro managed to recover the 400 or so RAW files that I'd lost.
