Recover deleted or damaged files from digital camera flash memory cards
I popped my xD flash memory card out of my digital camera and popped it into my computer. Windows XP spontaneously reboots. I try to put the card back in my camera and now my camera says there are no photos on the card!!
I did some searching and I found a utility that recovers digital images from your flash memory cards and the software is free. Download Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery. There is a pay version of the software, but that is for recovering files from other types of storage; the recover images from flash memory cards feature is enabled for free in the trial version.
I'm really glad this company released this software. There are a lot of products out there that try to charge you money for you to get your data back. The pictures are worth more than the camera. You can always replace a camera, but you can't replace pictures once they're really gone.
With the card still in my digital camera, I plugged my digital camera into my computer's USB port and ran this software. The utility instantly found my memory card and with one mouse click it scanned the card and found and recovered my pictures. It's easy to use and works very well. A must-have for anyone who takes pictures with digital cameras.
