undelete files from SxS card

[Simon Bryant]

Sorry Micheal, just to clarify: When you scanned with boomerang did it pick up any files, and did you recover these only to find they were corrupt, or did it never find the files in the first place.

As I’ve said boomerang seems to have found all my deleted files, and certainly nothing has been overwritten on the card since I deleletd, although the card did go back into the camera. The files seem so tantalisingly close.

but mayb’e thats just how they make their money…

cheers

Boomerang found MP4 files, however it never recovered any of them.

Good Luck

I’d just like to add to this thread. I did the most unbelievably stupid after a shoot yesterday and deleted the footage from a card instead of clearing the external hard drive I wanted to transfer too. I won’t make that mistake again!

I downloaded the trial version of Boomerang. It found 500MB of 10GB I had on the card.

Luckily, I had a brain wave and went into the trash bin (Mac Lion) and there was the file! I copied it and pasted it to my desktop (I couldn’t ‘put it back’ as I’d already put new stuff on the card thinking it was the hard drive – only folders mind). All worked out OK.

Before you go and spend money on expensive software, it’s worth noting the above!
