    Hi

    I made alot of pictures with my digital camera(almost 2gb). Before i borrowed it to a friend a copied the contents of the card using my laptop's card reader. The strange thing is that, even tough i copied the whole folder where the pictures were saved to the hdd, instead of 2gb, i noticed that there were only a quarter of that saved. And the nasty part is that i only noticed this after i formatted the card and gave the camera to my schoolmate :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    So, can you please point me towards a good program that recovers deleted pho tos from memory cards? Those pictures are very important.

    Drop this: 'restore deleted photos' in Google and you're well on your way. That's how I undeleted stuff last time I had to.

    I don't know of anything free but I know if your pictures are worth it that Rescue Pro by lc-tech ( www.lctech.com) works like a charm.

    If he hasn't used the card yet you should be just fine. If he has, you might lose some things, as the pictures he has taken could have overwritten yours.

    You need not to worry. You can recover your photos with the help of photo recovery software.
