I bought some Sandisk Ext III 8GB CF cards with the current winter rebate, but the Sandisk Rescue disk which was part of some former Sandisk offers is not available. I don't have a Rescue disc, but want to have one if the need arises. Perhaps one of you has an extra one that was supplied on the prior deals. Please et me know price, shipping, , whatever. Thanks.

    clap.gifclapthumb.gifthumbbowdown.gifbowImage Rescue from Lexar works with all brands of memory cardsbowdown.gifbowthumb.gifthumbclap.gifclap and also it gives recovery options like...just raw file, just tiffs,jpgs......or all files.
    The drawback to any recovery software is it re-catalogs the images into its own system....I find it a pain since I have the camera set to a date filing system. But I prefer to get all my images back and if I have to hand catalog...so be it.

    It is the only software Ihave used that worked as I wanted it to....when I shoot a combo of raw+ljpg and a card craps out....I want all files in sequence and it has done it for me everytime..........if I am just shooting raw...then I do not want the thumbs or anything else but RAW files and that is what I get.

    It used to come free with the PRO lexar cards but can be purchased off their site for ~~$30 +/- a bit.........

    They can recover files as they were on the disk, word docs, image files, file names intact.

    ....as long as those physical storage areas haven't been already overwritten by newer files.

    Someone here recommended ZAR, a similar tool. The image recovery is free. Never used it myself but as I said, there was a recommendation here, and I bookmarked it:

    If you are still in need of one drop me a pm with your address and I'll send a Sandisk Rescue Pro v3.3 - I've got quite a few of these disks sitting on my desk.

    I have disk
    Actually, I have two of them. You can download it for free to see what it will do. The version of Rescue Pro is $60 on the website. I just used it because I had a corrupted disk that said it needed to be formatted when I tried to read it. I have to unload the demo version of the software now and install the disk.

    And the software that worked for the office manager here is MJM Free Photo Recovery. Some file recovery software is good enough to pick up even after an overwrite, I've recovered 4mb of usable files off a 1.4mb floppy disk

    I purchased PhotoRescue a few months ago and it worked where several of the freebies did not. $30 was worth it for the picture I recovered.

    No affiliation, just a happy customer...
