I recently stuck my CF card into a friends PC, but it corrupted the card. I know there are programs out there that will recover the data...

Anyone know of a good one?

I had this happen to a USB flash drive a while back. I just googled flash data recovery and found one that offered a free trial. It did the job for me, although the file I wanted came back partially corrupted. Try a few free ones and see which one works the best.

You may still be able to recover the files if you only did a quick format.

I have a great one, but I'm not at home right now. If you're interested, drop me a private message and I'll hook you up. You'll need a USB card reader (unless your system has one built in). That means you can't read it from say a camera or whatever.

It's all good - Code Red never stated his problem was resolved so why not take a crack at it?
