CF card failure

It was overdue, but I had a CF card failure. True to Murphy's law, the
files were experimental, and would have taken hours to repeat.
Fortunately, I did a recovery using OnTrack and all went well.

Just wanted to pass the word that I found the program easy to use, and
worked well. I used the home edition.
I have no connection with this company except as a customer.

that's rather expensive for recovering a memory card.

At $79 it was worth it to me. I did not want to spend hours loking for a
free program that might or might not solve my problem. The who process
toook under 15 min, including learning how to use the program. If you
believe that to be expensive, I feel sorry for you.

then you're inept, among other things.

it takes about a minute or two to find a less expensive option,
including free alternatives. or you could have asked for suggestions
and quickly had many options.

more importantly, if instead of arguing all the time, you actually paid
attention to what gets discussed in this newsgroup, you would have
known the name of what is considered to be the best photo recovery app
available, mentioned in another thread just two months ago, and it's
about half the price.

I doubt if anyone except the poster would have remembered the name of
any app that far back.

I'm sure I read it, but what was it?

nosense is just trying to start a tool war over recovery apps. I won't bite.
It would be interesting to see if he tries and shows an infrared
interpretation. I am hoping to get more to participate.

the point was that he participated in that particular thread and
commented on that app.

in fact, he even said he was going to save floyd's hack for future use.
yet another false statement.

he is just spouting like he usually does.

floyd's hack isn't even worth free.

A few years ago, a defective PC accidentally erased 40 valuable wedding
pictures from my SD card. I used a free program, the name of which
escapes me now, and recovered 38 of the 40 photos. The 2 lost pix were
of the building's exterior, which I easily reshot.

At one time, SanDisk packed their recovery program in the SD card
packages, but they no longer do so.

The important thing, when images are lost, is to immediately (lock and)
put aside the card, avoiding any further use of it. Further use could
write over the needed images.
