Restoring deleted files on SD Card without card reader?

[SlaWeX]

Is it possible to return incidentally deleted files on my SD Card (@MDA Compact) without card reader? Any PPC soft for this, any bright ideas?? :?:

ThanX

I believe it is possible

First install Card Export II on your PPC, it will make your SD act like a mass storage... it works really good

or you can try this free (alpha) program

I have not tried it.... but you can give it a shot


Second.... Install any software that recovers deleted files on your PC.... lets say File-Rescue Plus

http://www.softwareshelf.co.uk/files/products.asp?type=cat&ID=11
or Tune-Up http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

then try to recover deleted files...

Very Important.... to recover files successfully, you should do the Recover operation after files are deleted, and you should not write anything new to your card until you get the files recovered... this is because new files are being written to the same place your old filed were written to, and thus, you won't be able to recover them in case you added anything new!

let us now the results

Thanx a lot, I solve the problem with CardExport + TuneUp combination! USBMSC-Alpha doesn't work.

Why there isn't any programmer to write a PPC software to to undeletle directly? It would be nice without even need to go to a desktop to do it.
