Sorry another post from myself-

I sort of know answer but need to ask , my daughter took some pics of my granddaughters birthday, opening presents and blowing the cake out, but she has accidently wiped the sd card

Is there anyway of getting the pics back or have they gone forever.

thanks for reading

    The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.:o

    A winner listens, a loser just waits until it is their turn to talk:)

    Get this program:

    http://www.piriform.com/recuva

    point it at the SD card and run it. When it finds the pictures, restore them to your computer, NOT to the sd card or you may end up wiping them out rather than restoring them.

    I second that, vyle, nice free program and works well :)
    it maybe worth locking the the SD card (if you can) until the data is retrieve, as any writing to it may loss more data
    Press any other key to continue.

    I have used Recuva in the past and it recovered most photos on card.
