CF Card Recovery Tips:

1. For damaged or file system corrupted CF card, Windows may prompt you to format the cf card on reading and accessing. Please ignore that message and do not format it before you recover the lost photos.

2. To avoid possibly overwriting, do not take more pictures on the same memory card before you recover them. If you have done that, try CardRecovery and it may still be able to recover the remainder pictures in most cases, but the written over pictures are unrecoverable.

3. When you connect your digital camera to my computer, if it cannot appear as a drive letter in "My Computer", an external CF card reader is need. It will allow CardRecovery to access your memory card and recover the lost pictures. Some new computers may build in card reader.
