I need a nice simple freeware or trial program that will get my corrupted files off my xd Card, as Windows decided to FUBAR my file formatting on there this morning.

I've been told GetDataBack is pretty good, just thought I'd ask you lot for any suggestions

Good luck.

I had a compact flash die once... never got the data back.

Also had a 320Gb hard disk die and spent nearly a week using 'dd' to duplicate the data bit by bit to make an image and try to recover the data.

Always a pain, rarely successful in my experience.

Update, managed to salvage my pics by using the USB connection to the camera with the card inside, problem solved
