Friend of mine has given me a USB Stick on which he has stored quite a number of photographs off his Digital Camera.
He tells me that some files are still visible complete with Thumbnails, others are visible with a file without a thumbnail and will not open in a viewer and that there are a number of folders that have appeared with random gibberish as file names. The files are all Jpegs.
It sounds like the USB stick has somehow become corrupted. I've told him I cannot promise anything but I would see what I could do.
He also tells me that he has not tried to write any files to the stick since he found it wasn't working properly - so at least that is a good thing!
So which program to use to try to recover as many pictures as possible? Recuva? or something else?
