PhotoRescue is probably the easiest utility to use of any in this roundup, as it requires no installation. Download the program, execute the file, and presto, the wizard-driven utility recovers files from digital camera media such as CompactFlash, MemoryStick, and SmartMedia.
The utility performs several thorough scans of the media before it displays thumbnails of recovered image files. In our tests, we were able to recover deleted images and other files immediately or after a reformat, but not after any significant disk activity.
