Question Memory Card help / Digital Camera.

[DTS]

Last week was one of my best mates birthdays and so a group of us went out in Brighton. Having started at 2pm the night as you can expect got a bit messy and we ended up in a bar where the women I am lead to believe take there clothes off for money.

Personally I am too tight to part with money to see a woman get naked when I can see the same at home for free but a few of the lads I am again led to believe particapated in a few photos with semi nakes women on my camera. I had nothing to hide so I told Mrs DtS who didnt care but some of the other lads didnt mention it at home.

Cut forward to yesterday. As it was nice decided to have a BBQ and have a few of the lads and there wives/gf's over. As there would be a collection of women and were the only parents it seemed inveviatable that Mrs DtS would bore the rest of our mates with photos of our daughter so I decided to delete all the photos from the lads night out....

I was doing it one by one but it was taking forever. Then I realised that I could delete all by date order which I did........However.....

I forgot that on the same date in the morning I had taken my daughter swimming and I had managed to get film of her first strokes in the water. Mrs DtS loved the video and has been asking me all week to upload it to a DVD for keeps which I forgot to do.

I cant now do that as I have deleted it !!!!!!! Can I get this back or is the wedding off before it starts???

I think you will find the wedding is off. I am sure once you delete them, they are gone forever.

Erm, is it saved to the camera as well as the stick? I thought I'd deleted something, but it was saved in a different place.

An important lesson to back up, Davey boy.

It was saved to the card but not a stick.....

Dave,

You should be able to get it back. Unless you format the card then most recent deleted items are usually still on there, just hidden.

There are loads of softwares on the internet to help you get the photos back but I have never used any.

Just google photo recovery and you should find loads.

Cheers,

Dave

OK, sometimes the camera backs up the photos on its own hard-drive as well. When you look at photos, can you look at other locations?

Also, check here

The good news is there are companies who can help, for a fee, probably.

Ask the Austrian police.

They managed to recover deleted images of Mr Fritzls daughters first strokes

Firstly, DON'T TAKE ANY MORE PICTURES WITH THAT CARD.

As Sciv says, when something is "deleted" from a hard drive or memory card it isn't physically removed, the "contents table", which lists what has been written where, is updated to show the space is now free to be written to. However, if nothing has been written there then the data can be recovered.

PC Inspecto Smart Recovery does the job and is free, and doesn't load your PC with ad- or spy-ware. For details on how to use it, see

This Article.

Hope that helps.
