p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Recovering deleted files directly from camera over USB?


I have a friend's camera and I need to recover their "deleted" photos (accidental delete all)

I usually use Recuva, but the problem is that this is an old Fuji camera that uses an XD card. I don't have an XD reader, so I can only plug the camera in via usb to "see" the memory, and Recuva will not scan the device.

Anyone have any luck with other software I could try? (other thank finding and buying an XD card reader)

Maybe you can see if there is a setting in the camera about the USB connection; If there is, it should be "mass storage".

I have used the software from Lexar (you can buy online but I think you can get one free if you buy one of their pro cards), it works well with cards (but can be problematic if scanning a large harddrive, if often crash).

Final Data is another software I have used, it works well with harddrives too.

Media Recovery (comes with Transcend) and the one from Sandisk weren't working well for me.

It might sound strange but my experience tells me that it is best to run those software on Windows XP... much more stable than on newer versions of Windows (since many of those software are rather old)

yeah, so the camera didn't have mass storage mode. I dug out an old netbook I had that had a build in 5-in-1 reader with xD support. put a "live" windows xp version on that and Recuva got back 500+ photos/videos.

thanks for the help
