If you mean you need to recover the files from the windows drive to put on her phone, try trk. I a live cd that is developed for fixing windows systems and includes a file recovery app. -- Seek That Thy Might Know http://www.davmor2.co.uk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

In that case did she use the phone once the photos were deleted. Memory on phones is at a premium so it tend to rewrite to it immediately in which case the photo's recovered may be it unfortunately. I could be wrong so double check first. -- Seek That Thy Might Know http://www.davmor2.co.uk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There is an application called ntfsundelete on Ubuntu (I think it's in the ntfsprogs package). It is run from a command line but it may work (not tried it myself). There is also scrounge-ntfs but I haven't tried this either. Actually though, reading the above, has she deleted the photos from her phone or from her PC? Are the photos on the memory card or in the phone's internal memory? There is also this program which is free for personal use which runs on Windows: http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete/ By the way, to have a better chance of recovering the files, tell her NOT to save anything on the drive which needs recovering from (so if it's her phone, tell her not to take any more pictures until the deleted pictures have been recovered).

When she connects the phone to her PC does it come up as a removable drive at all or does she have to use the Nokia PC Suite software? If it comes up as a drive letter in Windows then hopefully you should be able to use a Windows undelete program such as Freeundelete - http://www.officerecovery.com/freeundelete However if she has to use the Nokia PC Suite software then she may be out of luck. I know it's not much help now but she might want to consider in the future to get a memory card for her phone (I presume MicroSD) and save any photos on the card. That way if the worst does happen and she accidentally deletes any photos, or for instance if the phone dies then she could pop out the card and use it in a PC to get the photos back. Good luck anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Just fyi the N95 does come up as a mass storage device. It gives the option to use pc suite when you plug it in. Matt.
