    [Resolved] Whats a good data recovery program under $15? (SD card problem)

    My mother is having a problem with the SD card in her camera at work, she spent several days filling it up and now its getting a format error message on every reader I've tried and the camera it self. I downloaded BadCopy Pro and it worked great! Found every file, but it wanted me to fork over $40 to save all the files it found. Screw that, I'm not playing $40 for something I'll probably use once. Is there another one just as good for under $15 that can rescue files from an SD card?

    Update:
    I tried Recuva and Restoration, didn't work. Didn't even see the drive at all. Fail.

    Tried Photorec, and that was just confusing as all get out. I did not understand that at all.

    GetDataBack maybe ? I don't know if it is working with SD cards, but you may want to give it a try.

    I did some more searching, using some different terms this time, and I found something called ZAR. I tried it and it worked great! Its free too! Woot!

    This works pretty well. I have used it a few times successfully.
