Data recovery

Sorry I have not been posting recently but I have been very busy and just could not find the time.
With that said I would like to introduce you to something I have just found VERY useful.
As I am sure you have all experienced at sometime or another DATA LOSS. Well it was my daughters last day of school and she took in her digital camera to record the event and spent the whole day happily taking pictures of her class mates for posterity.
Last nigh she tells me that ALL the pictures have gone both she and I were in a bit of a panic so I will share the recovery process with you to save you the many hours it took me to solve this problem.
First of all don't take any more pictures as this can cause problems writing data over the original source.
Secondly I downloaded a bit of software called Pandora recovery and installed it on my system.
The next step is to connect your camera or other media device and run the software.
You will see the file being recovered now all you have to do is copy and paste them to a safe location on your computer.
And thats it done.
Good luck.
