Recuva is pretty good too.

Whaterver you do, don't try and use the card until you have tried recovering the data from it, otherwise you'll increase the risk of losing the lot.

It is free for Digital Image Recovery.

hum which one allows me to recover the files as it was??!
like files in original folders

not just scrambled files...

You have to try and tell us.

Ok. None of the two suggested will write anything to your memory card. So you have nothing to fear to try them out.

haha...god..
using Wondershare right now,
just recovering video,audio n image files.
not really big help.

Have you tried what we suggested?

They are tried and tested.

Cons
You can't open the files, or if you can all that shows up is a bunch of garbled stuff. It doesn't restore your files the way you had them before you lost them, it recovers to a bunch of numbered items and you have to go through each one.

hmmmm..... this is what I read about Wondershare Data Recovery in download.cnet.com. One of the only two. And a 1 star rating.

Still we would rely on another actual user experience with whom we have a real contact. Complete the exercise and let us know whether it met all your requirements. Also try the other two and give us a comparative report. We all continue to learn.

If it does perform admirably, we would definitely add it to our recommend list. As far as Recovery software is concerned some may work well for some and may not for others. There is actually no one size fits all.

Just try either or both of these.

I had a similar problem before 2 months. Actually when a data is lost through virus attack or unknown causes. It does not mean you have lost it completely. The directory which shows the address of the data only would be erased. I recovered my photos and videos very easily through a software utility. you can also recover data from micro sd card

I had two Samsung GS3s trash their respective SD cards. I tried several different data recovery apps, the best of which was RecoverMyFiles from Runtime Software. It was able to recover most files off the first card, but nothing useful off the second card. It's not free -- but you get what you pay for.
