Just asked hubby and he said to use a picture or data recovery programme. You'll probably get a good portion back but not all.

My husband is good at these things if you want to post it to us??? I know what it's like to have things go missing we've had hard drives break on us loosing so much data

 

[Sam's Mum]

It might be possible to recover them but you might need to take it to someone who knows what they're doing with it. Really hope you can get them back x

 

[Wobbles]

Don't touch it, I wouldn't even run the risk of posting it anywhere take it to someone who knows what they are doing. Oh hun *hugs* x

OH did this with all my bumpy pictures when I was pregnant. I assumed they would be lost and gone forever but sounds like something can be done. Fingers crossed for you xxx

Yep, take it straight to a camera shop and they should be able to recover them for you!

you need to get some 1 who knows what they are doing to do a data recovery on it

Like the others have said they're prob not all lost. Unless you have reformatted the card then all that has been deleted is the index which points to the area of flash memory the pics are stored. My hubs has recovered stuff in the past by downloading a utility which searches the card for likely looking files. I'll ask him what he's used in the past when he gets home. However if you are not comfortable with this stuff then I'm sure you'll be able to find a techy to assist.

I rang my computer shop and they 'might' be able to retrive whats lost Luckily I've got alot of the pics stored on my laptop but still I haven't the last 4-5 months on I'm just glad I took loads of pics of Pauric on my phone as well and my cousin duplicated all his christening pics so at least I won't have lost those...still I my be lucky and get them back

Thanks all

Asked my Hubby would said he used a free recovery program which came with a camera we bought. Unfortunately its not free for download. I did however find this:

http://download.cnet.com/Adroit-Photo-Recovery/3000-12511_4-10909145.html

which is free to try so you should be able to use it before having to cough up some money. Again if this sort of thing isn't your bag I'm sure that the techy guy you found will be able to help you.

Hope you get them back.

I was beside myself when the laptop broke as all my pic's were on and not backed up to disk...must finish it off!
