Hi everyone... i'm facing a serious problem..

I only have 2 CF cards, 256MB and 128MB...
during my friends' graduation, I often swap the CF card when it is full and put it into my external harddisk (external harddisk with card reading function, allow to copy file from CF instantly)...

for some reason, I thought I had copied all the photo into the harddisk (actually it didint)... I have formatted the CF card with a lot of precious photo in it...

I dunno why I can't find those photo in the external harddisk....
can anyone tell me... is it possible to restore files from a formatted CF card?
any software comes to rescue???

thank so much!

Of course you can ... ppl like Canon Malaysia or Nikon can help you, even Sony. It's a chargeable service. You learn a lesson from here : Rather have a bigger capacity card than keep showing off your OTG harddisk and performing backup every few minutes of shoot!

Got it done? I'm also curious how to retrieve back pictures incase it happens to mine. sweat.gif

I have two MSPD and swap them quite often and am afraid something might happen after long usage.

You should be able to use the RescuePRO for MSPD.

Btw, I forgot to mention that I got my copy of RescuePRO bundled with my SanDisk Extreme CF. So, you may want to check out with your friends who own SanDisk Extreme memory cards for the software disk.
