My Kodak SDHC memory card used to work in both my camera and computer, and all of a sudden, it decided it didn’t want to. It didn’t work in either. I figured out that the SD card was the problem, and the only way to get it to work was to format it. But now I have one empty memory card, eyes full of tears, and no pictures. It was a 4GB memory card that was full. Now the pics are all gone.
I tried using Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery, and I watched it as it recovered all of my photos (I could literally see the images). But after it did that, it kindly told me I needed to pay to finish the process.
I need a free way of doing this.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Recuva is a good one, but it has problems with fragmented files. If Recuva doesn’t work, there are other very good an “no-kidding” freeware photo recovery software options that may help you recover your photos. The following are all freeware (Digicam and PhotoRec are capable of fragmented file recovery):

Use Piriform’s Recuva. Your files are there but they are not registered within the file system Writing anything new to that card will erase it and leave you with photo fragments.

yes, you are able to get back your photos.
1. Do not save any new file to memory card.
2. Connect your card to computer. You should see memory card shown as a drive letter (like H:) in My Computer.
3. Download recovery software, recommended one is asoftech photo recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)
