Free App To Recovber Files From Sd Cards
nvidia:
hey guys found some of my old sd card and wanted to recover some files off them I may have deleted
any free program out there I could use?
Halcyon:
If it's just photos, videos and other media QPhotoRec is probably your best option.
Runtime Software also made a free version of their GetDataBack software called GetDataBack Simple 1.02, but I'm not sure if they offer it anymore. You might be able to find a link to the previous version.

Formatting almost never actually overwrites data on a storage device, it just recreates the partition table and marks the rest of the disk empty for overwriting leaving most/all of the data intact.

True, but it wipes the FAT so any files that were fragmented are pretty hard to recover as there is nothing left to link the fragments. There are a few apps good at recovering contiguous files though.
