Photo Recovery From A Flash Drive

A Flash memory is a particular type of technology used to store data digitally

. The data stored on it can be written and erased electrically using cameras, computers cell phones etc. Today you will find a number of flash drives available in the marketswhether they are Flash drives, flash cards, etc. The technology they use is the same. Added to this is the fact that one does not need any kind of an additional software to run a flash device. As with all hard disks, the Flash too uses a particular file format. Earlier flash drives used FAT 12 or FAT 16, today they have switched over to FAT 32. This means that the device is not far from facing problems related to over-writing or any sort of physical damage.

Today it is most commonly used to store photos. The drive getting damaged means that photos can get deleted. Since no storage device is safe, one can rest assured that you can use a photo recovery software to recover lost photos.

For example, when you are using a camera with a Compact flash(CF) card, and you suddenly pull out the card just after taking a shot. You go home and find that none of the pictures on your card are accessible or the card is corrupt. In either case you lose your pictures and naturally it will leave you heart broken.

Cause:

The cause for this is simple, when you have any memory card, pulling it out of the camera either immediately after taking a shot or even when the camera is on, corrupts the card. This makes the photos on it inaccessible.

Solution:

Of course the saying 'prevention is better than cure' is true, but once the damage is done, prevention tips don't help. On the contrary they make us feel worse!!

The solution to the problem is using a photo recovery software to recover deleted photos. These softwares can be downloaded from the Internet and then used to scan any hard drive to search for deleted photos.
