After I returned home I set out to try and recover my pictures. First I removed the drive from the laptop and installed it in a USB enclosure. I was hoping the problem was with the laptop; not the hard drive. Unfortunately, the drive was still unreadable. Next, I located the local branch of a data recovery company. They analyzed the drive and quoted me $1,600 to retrieve my photos – not a chance.
I had all but given up hope when a friend of mine at work asked if I had tried to recover the deleted photos from my camera’s compact flash card. I had never thought of it. He had a utility program for un-deleting photos from a compact flash and offered to give it a try.
It worked!!! I have all my photos!! Thanks Tom!!
