card rescue software
I remember some discussion here a week or two back regards salvaging files from a CF or SD card. I'm not at home and don't have access to my archives just at present ... What was the file recovery software used? Friend of mine has a Sandisk Extreme III 4G card with a bunch of RAW image files on it that needs rescue. thanks Godfrey
Re: card rescue software
I use two different programs "PC Inspector File Recovery" and "PC Inspector Smart Recovery". I haven't checked lately to see if they have new versions that directly support PEF files but they do recover Pentax raw files as TIFFs. These are Windows programs, but they may have MAC versions as well. Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: I remember some discussion here a week or two back regards salvaging files from a CF or SD card.

Godfrey, I haven't used it, but my brother has succesfully used it once. http://download.pcinspector.de/pci_us_smartrecovery.exe ftp://ftp2.convar.com/pcinspector/pci_us_smartrecovery.exe HTH, Igor
Re: card rescue software
Thanks for the pointers. PC Inspector products are evidently 100% Windows platform. No sign of anything from them for Mac OS X. For Mac OS X, I have found FileSalvage, PhotoRescue and SanDisk's own RescuePro so far. I can't say how effective any of them are yet, although I've heard reasonable things about PhotoRescue and RescuePro so far. Godfrey

Lexar "Image Rescue 2.0" - http://store.lexar.com/?category=25&subcategory=34 2. SanDisk "RescuePro 3.0" - http://www.lc-tech.com/software/rprowindetail.html The good news (for me) is that I've never had to use either of 'em. The bad news (for anyone else, I guess) is that I therefore don't know much about them (~yet~, I suppose - ). But, maybe the URL's might help someone... Fred

I should point out that the two programs are downloadable (no waiting for a CD to come) - this might help someone out "in a pinch". Fred
