recover pictures from a delted memory stick?
to make a long thing short, I deleted my memory stick after transferring the pictures to my ipod.. a friend mistakenly erased that folder and i remain without 2 days of some fantastic pictures of Bangkok....
So.. I erased the memory stick AND took a dozen pictures before we realized what happened.
I then didnt touch the memory stick anymore and hoped a professional data recovery service could help. However, I went to one and they said that because I started taking pictures over the erased stick, it was impossible to recover any previous data
Im a bit skeptical of this claim, so, am asking you all for a second opinion..
Is there any apps for Mac (or PC) that could possibly try and help out with this?
I have Data Rescue II, but I dunno if that will do the trick.
I want to not touch the memory stick until I find a possible good solution...
thanks!!!!!!!!!

Good luck in any case, hope you get your pics back! I've once erased a hard disk partition en re-installed windows on it after which I found out I'd lost a year worth of digital pics, so I know the feeling...
I used Data Rescue and it found almost 90% of the pics still recoverable!!!!
oddly enough, NONE of the movies I made are recoverable
interestingly enough.. it also found pics that weren't written over that I took almost 2 years ago!!!
wow folks.. low level format if you ever ever gotta sell recordable media.. crazy stuff.
I'll give a run with Ontrack as well, who knows, maybe it'll be able to extract som other stuff
