How to recover deleted digital photo files from a flash card

How to recover deleted digital photo
files from a flash card
10/29/2003 01:16 AM

Recently, due to a combination of very poor user interface, and momentary insanity, while meaning to delete one picture on an almost full flash (SmartMedia) card, I recently deleted all the digital picture files on the card. Once I discovered my mistake, I compounded it by continuing to take photos, assuming that the ones I had deleted were irrecoverable and weren't important anyway. Later that day I was informed in no uncertain terms that the pictures I had deleted were important, and that I should make all efforts possible to recover them. So later that night I sat up with Google and downloaded and tried a number of file recovery programs. A lot of the programs I tried were totally useless. File Scavenger V2, File Recover, Digital Picture Recovery, PC Inspector File Smart Recovery couldn't find any of the deleted files. PC Inspector File Recovery crashed when I ran it. Plus, the people who make the PC Inspector programs started spamming me about their products. I found one that looked promising, PhotoRescue, that showed me thumbnails of the missing photos, and promised that if I bought the program it could recover the full files, or my money back. That seemed reasonable enough and I was prepared to buy it for $29 if none of the others worked. However, the clear winner at photo file recovery was a program called Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery. I downloaded the program, checked it for viruses, ran it, and it recovered my files and put them on my hard disk. It has an exceedingly simple user interface. Somewhat disconcertingly for my geeky soul, there are no options to configure or choices to make. I just started the program, told it where to save the images it recovered, pointed it at the card, and it did its stuff. In my case, it worked flawlessly and recovered 155 images, including 22 files that I had deleted and that other programs said didn't exist. It made someone in my family very happy. Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery is the best program that I have found for recovering photos files deleted from flash cards. As a bonus, it is freeware, released by a Russian programmer as a way of promoting his corporate data recovery software. I hope he succeeds. Very Highly Recommended. Summary: Program: Zero Assumption Digital Image Recovery Rating: Very Highly recommended Cost: Free Version reviewed: 1.0...

Pretec 2GB MMC 4 Flash Memory Card 06/01/2004 10:29 AM

pretecmmc4.jpg imagePretec has announced what they are calling the 'World's Fastest Flash Memory Card,' a 2GB giant that uses the MMC 4 spec to transfer 4-bits of data in parallel with write speeds up to 18MB/sec and read speeds of up to 22.5MB/sec. Even better, the card is backwards-compatible with previous SD/MMC devices, albeit at lower read/write speeds. To give you some perspective, those speeds would make the 2GB Pretec card about 200 percent faster than the fastest SD cards available on the market.

It's sad that these days, almost anything that refers to itself as a 'spy something' is probably pretty pedestrian when it's all said and done. So while this "SPY DISK with card reader" isn't amazing, it is surprisingly enough that it actually does something cool at all. Available with internal memory sizes of 128MB or 256MB, the cap-end also functions as an SD/MMC card reader. You can't copy directly from the SD cards to the internal memory -- you'll have to copy to your PC, then back -- but it's a pretty great idea in general, even if it doesn't shoot lasers or eject poison gas. And hey, it's USB 2.0! Maybe the cheap gear is finally starting to see the light of fast transfer rates.
