Recovering Files

Does anyone has any suggestions on how to recovery files from an compact flash media card? I pulled a bone headed move and did not get all the files loaded onto my computer and now some of them can not be found. I have not used the card since the download and would like if possible to recover the original files.
Lesson learned: make a file of original before messing with said files!

Your help has made my neighbors and I very happy.
Your happiness seems real, but the reason for it is left to our imagination!D

Deleting individual images one at a time on the camera, strangely enough, CAN render some of them invisible to some recovery programs. So if you're ever shooting something EXTREMELY important, (like a Royal wedding ) I would refrain from in-camera deletion as well.
Take care and good luck,

I used Recuva to get my files back. It worked wonders at fixing my boneheaded mistake. In fact, I was telling a guy at work about it when he was complaining about accidentally erased some file the other day.<o:p></o:p>
Ah! Now the tale is complete. Happy story, though you could have done without it! Maybe not, since you won't do what you did again!

Agreed on Recuva. I used it to get me out of a big jam--worked great.
