Anyone have any recommendations for undelete software or any other way to undelete my photos? I managed to lose 3 weeks of holiday snaps.

Thanks

From your PC? Check the recycle bin.

Recuva worked for me, and is free.

A big thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I've now managed to recover most of my photos.

How did you do it, out of interest?

Good news the odd one will be lost but if you have most that's good. Lost one of my all time favourite photos after a computer crash though I had a backup of it but only a low res. Not given up yet though still have a slim chance.

I found that I'd got a restore disk supplied with my SD card - worked really quickly. I also tried Drac's suggestion - that also worked, but wanted $39 before it would restore the photos.

Am so relieved to get my photos back - I managed to delete the lot on the last day of the holiday!
