ooops. I deleted my files before I was done downloading them. again. this time I'd like to try to recover them from the camera's data card. Has anyone done this or know how or where to do this?
I'm using a Canon EOS Rebel XT and an iMac (with iPhoto software).
oh, Lordy.... #*&$%@*.... My wife is gonna kill me!
Thanks for your efforts, Kevin. I was able to get the files back. The Mac and the camera were of no help. I found "FileSalvage" software for the Mac, but the Mac was unable to read the data card.
Fortunately I also have a PC and one of those digital picture viewers. I put the cameras data card into the picture viewer, connected the viewer to my PC, downloaded a program from PC Tools called "File Recover" and, using the deepest scan setting was able to find the files. A $30 "registration" fee and I was then able to recover the files. Well worth it to me. The program was easy to use although previewing the files took a long time - as did the recovering process. Interesting, if you open the folder the files are recovering to you can watch as they are rebuilt (if that is the right word). Wife now thinks I'm a computer hero! ...With a side order of Dunderhead.
Lesson learned - it takes a LOT more time to recover files than it takes to lose them.
