I had a Fuji Card downloaded the pic and saved them on CD. But I
inadvertently erased the card before ALL the pics were saved on the CD.

So now I have a card that has been erased. I haven't shot any new pics
on the card.

Anyway to "un-erase" these?

I figure there isn't. At least a cheap way. I ask because I have had
success getting files back from a deleted computer program, even after
the trash is emptied.

My understanding is the files are still there until they are recorded
over.

The pics are no big deal, but I'd be nice to have them, if you could get
them back thru a cheap restore program

Have a look at the thread "Recovering deleted digital photos?" that was
posted this morning. Loads of options.

I don't know what you call 'cheap.' I use PhotoRescue. I have recovered
photos from cards that have been erased, then filled more than half
full, then re-formatted. I have actually recovered more photos than the
card is supposed to hold.

It runs on both Mac and PC.

I had a similar problem recently - accidentally erased the SD card for
my new Canon A620 when I meant to erase the CF card for my old A70. PC
Inspector File Recovery
(http://www.pcinspector.de/download.a...#file_recovery) was
able to recover about 2/3 of the photos. It's free. It claimed to
recover all of them but several files were corrupted and when opened in
Photoshop only had part of the image. I tried 4 different programs and
they all gave the exact same results.

I'd like to strongly second the endorsement of PhotoRescue. It has
saved my butt whenever I've called upon it. You can try
it out on your lost images before you buy it. At $29, it's
a no-brainer.

Greetings,

I suppose Active@ Undelete should help you. This is a mighty data
recovery utility that will be able to restore erased file on your card.
That should definately help you. Give it a try, you won't regret it.

I used Handy Recovery on my Fuji XD card successfully.

Yep. Recovered the shots from two sd cards yesterday with PCInspector,
instantly, no problems. The cards had not been used after the camera
erased the images, and they were all there.

PCInspector is a free program as well.
