scoopy Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Looking for any tips on recovering files from a camera's Compact Flash card. I am trying to recover jpg's that were deleted after I transfered to a harddrive and then deleted before realizing something had gone wrong in the transfer. I tried traditional methods used for harddrives (in windows), but these do not recognize it as a drive. Also have tried - In MDK 9.1 - installing program called "recover" (a mandrake rpm) but this crashes after 5 minutes. [root@localhost scoopy]# recover /dev/sda1 Recover v1.3b by Tom Pycke <Tom.Pycke@advalvas.be> Getting inodes (this can take some time)... debugfs 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) /dev/sda1: Bad magic number in super-block while opening filesystem lsdel: Filesystem not open Killed [root@localhost scoopy]# thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I hope for your sake that I'm wrong, but as far as I know in Linux, once you delete a file it is gonegonegone, unlike Windows. I hope someone comes along to prove me wrong. Oops. You're talking about trying to recover them from the flash card? Disregard my previous statement, but I don't know. Sorry. Here's a trial version that can recover 5 files: http://www.compuapps.com/Download/datareca...all/license.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I've read that undelete is rare but possible in linux (somewhere?). Maybe in the Docs Link above? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted September 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 good program steve, but yes, only recovered 5 of 60 files... and two of those recovered were garbage. But that site had a comparison with its software versus Photo Rescue, which I was able to find and use to salvage most of my stuff. Might be worth the $20 bucks to purchase a copy of Data Rescue for work cause its bound to happen again. For the record, the glitch happened on my MAC with a vfat CF disk at work. thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coverup Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I successfully used recover to undelete files on an ext2 partition (last time it was last week...), but doubt it can work for journalized partitions or memory cards, etc. Please check the recover homepage http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
