Deleted some nef files on the memory

Groan. I accidentally deleted some shots on the D200. Is there any program out there that will recover my lost files using linux? It's a vfat partition on a CompactFlash card. TIA and hoping. John. -- Using the Laptop at home.

In Debian it is part of the 'testdisk' package. Have a search of your distro repos. -- rich

It might be worth installing WINE and running a windoze app such as 'Recuva' http://www.piriform.com/recuva Just gave the portable version a try on my netbook (ubuntu) and it works ok, at least with the SD card from my Samsung. As with recovering any deleted file make sure you do not write anything to the card and if there are files to save, save them to another location. best of luck. -- rich

Photorec can find the tif files that are the thumbnails, but it cannot find the nef files. I need a fat editor that I can run from linux and that handle the vfat format of my CompactFlash card. It might come down to wine and a windoze app. Like I said, Groan ;-) -- Using the Laptop at home.

The part of the information which is in the "directory on disk" is preserved by deleting. The part of the information which was in the F_A_T is lost. You may still hope that the file was allocated continuous on the disk. Might happen if you do not erase stuff on the disk - or do it rare enough. I wonder if my "low-level access to FAT" Perl module might be of help here... (It gives no write access, but you may still extract things from the disk. At least, you can dump the directory, and extract arbitrary chunks from disk using the command-line tool included with the module.) Yours, Ilya

The standard linux disk editor (LDE) would not even open the usb card reader on my desktop (Mepis8) but this - DMDE - worked perfectly, although only one file at a time for the free version is a limitation. http://softdm.com/download.html A few screen shots as an example. http://www.imageno.com/pzsnks93dj8qpic.html It's a bit of a trip down memory lane, last time I used anything like this was around 1993-ish on an MSDOS 5 machine. -- rich

Check this article... scroll down to "multimedia"... nef clearly in the list of recoverable multimedia files. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/File_Formats_Recovered_By_PhotoRec (otherwise, may be a discrepancy with versions ?)

Nope, I've not recovered the files yet, but I'm not giving up either... I'm guessing that a simple FAT editor would do it, but I've not found one yet. I did read to the bottom of the info on PhotoRec, and saw that it would do a nef file, but it had only been tested on some point and shoot Nikons. Reading down in this thread, I see that Frank Stefani has a recommendation that I'll try later today. I'm running slackware, and I'm used to building from source. Thanks for the help, and I'll report back if I am able to recover the files. I want to get this figured out, because I might shoot myself in the foot again ;-) John. -- Using the Laptop at home.

In this situation I searched for and discovered a hand full of usefull tools. The one that did the race was "magicrescue". I think it's part of the Ubuntu packages, so you may install it with the "synaptic" package manager or on the shell using sudo apt-get install magicrescue I'm very happy to successful recover all files (and even some more which I thought didn't exist for quite a while :-) ). More forensic and recover tools are referenced here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery Good luck, Frank

I had tried a few other things which wrote to the compact flash card and evidently destroyed enough info so that magic rescue could not recover all the files, but it did find a bunch of others that I had deleted, so this program is a file saver!
