do a google on "retrieving deleted data"

 

if you havent write anything on it, then still can be retrieved..

just very recently, my 8 gig thumbdrive malfunctioned totally

 

tat means u plug in, briefly lights up, and "windows cannot recognize"

 

A LOT OF my pictures gone.

 

i never backup cos i thought thumbdrive are quite hardy. I was wrong.

Always (means everytime) have a duplicate of all things important. Needless to say the duplicate must be physically different storage.

Search for GNU Testdisk. Typically format does not wipe out data but only initalise the directory area, so no problems.

 

 

To side track, it's a common mistake most people make to think that format will wipe out data. That's why there are tools (such as eraser) to wipe out data cleanly.

but eraser shdn't be used that frequently unless one wants to kill the memory card or thumbdrive..

 

it basically write and rewrite the space over and over again, depending on the number of pass used.

 

anyway, use it only when there's edison-like photos/video in there..
