Something else. A good tip for an operation that we'll all do, one day or another: recovering pictures from a memory card trampled by a German shepherd of 32 kilos. For example ;)

The software Smart Recovery from PC Inspector is the ideal solution. A free software, therefore without limitation, clear, simple and powerful.

No, we aren't (yet) payed to say this, we just tested it with an SD card of which the two parts were not well any more stuck together. Not readable by any camera, by several computers under Windows2000 or XP or by a Pocket PC: no file on the drive.
Smart Recovery does a first scan, announces that the card is very damaged and that a meticulous scan has to be done. After confirmation, it perfectly recovers 72% of the pictures, and partially 16% (that could be easily reworked by Paint Shop Pro or Picasa). It's more that we expected.

Smart Recovery exists in many languages, no spyware or that kind of stuff, it runs on any version of Windows and can recover pictures of many formats on many types of cards: Flash Card, Smart Media, SONY Memory Stick, IBM Micro Drive, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital Card and others...
