You turn on your camera, and some or all of your pictures are gone. Or maybe you accidentally hit the format function on your computer or camera, and your flash drive or card is wiped. Can you get your files back? How?
While some manufacturers have their own recovery programs, most that I have tried can be destructive. That is to say, you may not have the option of using another program after theirs; So you're stuck with their results, good or bad.
Instead you should use Zero Assumption, which has an amazing success rate, and isn't destructive (So you can try other programs afterwards to your liking). The most important thing to remember through all this, is that you don't want to use the card at all after you discover the problem. Taking another picture, or transferring any files can, and probably will, destroy your chances of recovering your pictures or files.
After you have recovered your files, you should them completely format the card, and make sure to be more cautious. If it continues to act funny, you may need to buy a new card, but this is extremely rare.
