I've done this several times with flash/memory cards at work for co workers.
Go do a search for compact flash picture recovery or deleted picture
recovery. There are several utillities out there that will work fine.
Something to remember is that what you delete a file it isn't really gone
just the referance to it in the FAT is gone. So this allows the computer
to write over that area. So your pictures are there, even a format only
erases the complete file allocation table. That is why formating doesn't
really remove data only allows data to be written (basic formating for
those that want to argue the point). I worked on a ladies disk the other
day and found pictures on her disk that were taken a year ago, she was
amazed they were on there still even though she had deleted the pictures.
I guess this is common with flash cards as there are several utillities to
use. Good luck.
