Undelete pictures on your camera for Free
If you've deleted a picture or a bunch of pictures on your
camera, do nothing else with the camera.
Don't take any more pictures. Don't try to use the camera's built-in menu. Don't
reformat the hard drive.
1)
Download and install PC Inspector Smart Recovery 4.5
2) If you have a card reader attached to your PC, take the affected memory card
out of your camera, flip the write-protect "lock" tab so nothing can be written
to the card, and put it in the card reader. If you don't have a card reader,
attach the camera to your PC with the appropriate cable. In either case, if
Windows pops up and offers to do something for you (such as copying the files
into your PC), click the X button to close the AutoPlay dialog box.
3) Click Start, Programs (in Vista, it's All Programs), PC Inspector Smart
Recovery. You get the PC Inspector Smart Recovery main dialog box.
4) In the left pane, choose the drive that contains your camera's memory card,
or choose the camera itself. This can be a bit challenging because PC Inspector
doesn't give you many details about the drives. But you can use Windows Explorer
to find the correct drive letter.
5) In the middle pane, choose the type of file you want to recover. Chances are
it's a .jpg.
6) In the right pane, navigate to a place where you would like to store the
reconstituted files.
7) Click Start. This will take a while, but you can watch the program's progress
by looking at the folder that's being filled with recovered photos.
8) When it's done, click the X button to get out of the program, flip the "lock"
write protection tab back to its normal position, and put the card back in your
camera.
