Stellar Photo Recovery also claims to be able to recover data from damaged or corrupted memory cards. The only downside with the file 'index' having been lost is that this also carries the filenames of the original files, so Stellar Photo Recovery creates its own filenames for your recovered images, and there doesn't seem to be much logic to its file numbering convention.

As you continue to fill up the card again, more and more files that were on it before the format become permanently overwritten and unrecoverable. Of course once you start using your memory card again after it has been reformatted, the formatted images will start to be overwritten, and will no longer be recoverable. A typical format just removes the index, tricking your computer or camera into thinking the memory card is empty and allowing it to overwrite the 'deleted' data. Think of a physical filing cabinet with an index at the front.

Rather, only the file header journal is deleted. The secret here is when a computer reformats a card, rarely does it actually delete the actual data, and almost never does this happen during an in-camera reformat. When we conducted a more scientific test on a card completely filled with images, then formatted and immediately scanned for recovery, Stellar Photo Recovery restored 100% of the images on the card.

We were shocked to find that the software was able to successfully recover images from an SD card formatted long ago, and since used again several times. And in the case of Stellar Photo Recovery, good things come to those who wait.
