I had a CF card die on my half way through a gig last night. First time for everything i spose. I havent written over the card yet and was wondering how i can get my raw files back. I have tried a few differant recovery programs inc getdataback (which didnt work). One program detected the Jpeg files (raw+jpeg) but not the Raws?

Any ideas?

Download PC Inspector (free). It is excellent.

I would second John's suggestion of PC Inspector, it has worked for me.
